Do you mean to tell me that the same folks who write things like this would willingly participate in a contest like this? I’m shocked that otherwise intelligent people can’t understand that there’s no downside to objectifying women on your blog. It’s not like these folks make their students read their blogs or anything …

Global warming… or is it just hot in here?
The first three images that result for me are this, this, and this. I’m not sure what truth there is to be found in that, but I’m sure there’s some.
Weird and actually distrubing. I get the black-eyed woman, but otherwise two completely different images for my first three: one is Ann Coulter and the other is this
Not sure if ‘truth’ is the right word, but obviously there’s some underlying meaning, or at least logic.
I would have assumed everyone gets the same results. Geography? Possibly a blocking/filter issue? (for example, I have ‘Safesearch’ off, plus a truckload of 3rd party blockage)
and I’m using Chrome.
I’m using Chrome too, but Google tailors results based on web history and previous searches, so the fact that we’re slightly different — I get plenty of pictures of Coulter too — isn’t that surprising.
I won’t say anything about personal fetish here.
Well that’s…disturbing.
Clicking my link a second time, now I get a completely different set of first 3 pics: Dick Morris, John Bolton, and Lorenzo Mills, in that order.
How anyone could still think Ann Coulter is “hot” is beyond me. She looks like a scarecrow. And that Adam’s Apple — ugh!!!
SE Cupp on the other hand …
Why the other hand?
First one tired? :-)
Zing!
I always kind of saw her as a human praying mantis, which of course had me in stitches when she complained about being made to look like one on a magazine cover once…
“Skeletor” is my preferred nickname.
The issue is which hand “Miss” Coulter prefers to use. hahahaha
Why can’t you just tell us what this is about before we click the links?
From the talk about Bikini, I say it’s about the development of the H-bomb.
Oh that would be too easy and not fun because it won’t make us feel quessy.
Why can’t you just tell us what this is about before we click the links?
You need only mouse-over to connect the dots.
Well, no, not quite: without clicking I can’t tell if the Wonkette post is enjoyably eviscerating the mere existence of this phenomenon, or is furthering and participating in it.
The Wonkette link ranks the hottest conservative men.
None of which compare favorably to an Israeli Sasquatch.
So what is it about the Israeli sasquatch that makes it particularly objectionable, Njorl?
The hooked nose?
Or are you intimating that many of these conservative men listed are “neocons”?
Yes, that is what njorl is talking about.
Pastafarian is not aware of all internet traditions.
Mouse over isn’t working on my iPad.
Find a mouse and place it on the iPad.
(Less flippantly, hold your finger on the link, and (most of) the URL will be shown to you; it’s similar to what you see in the Status Bar of most browsers when you mouse over a hyperlink.)
SEK gets paid by referrer traffic. It’s pretty unethical, but at least it means LGM can keep turning down that Koch money.
SEK wishes he lived in a world in which he gets paid by referrer traffic.
Fixed that for you.
Again every body needs to read Jonathan Chait’s columns about conservatives and beauty pageants at the New Republic. Conservative women are only valued in so much as they are perceived as hot or Maggie Thatcher.
Conservatives: answering the age-old question, “What is the plural of ‘dominatrix’?”
Dominatrixes?
Or dominitraces? Accounts vary.
Yeesh. Don’t drink and spell, kids.
“Expensive”.
Win!
Sexy!
Oh, that’s unfair. I’m sure that the type of folks who push their tiny daughters into this kind of thing TOTALLY vote Democrat.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go barf up my guts.
Just to add to your sense of discomfort, I would like to point out that child beauty pageants had their origins in the Eugenics Movement.
I wrote an article about that, but because academia’s so forward-thinking, I can’t link to it.
Since when is the Weekly Standard “new media”?
Since the very recent days of 1995, when it was founded, duh.
So, Usenet counts, but not BBS’s?
No, ‘zines count. It is all media. Yes, 12 years counts.
In the alternative, what should count in your world? 75? 18? Please share.
The contest said “new media,” specifically excluding print and broadcast journalists. Since the Weekly Standard is a standard weekly…..
If they mean “new” in the sense of “relatively new outlet” then yes. But that’s not the way they defined it.
(The Usenet/bbs thing was just yanking SEK’s chain a bit, since he’s a veteran BBS warflamer and I cut my teeth on rec.music.folk and rec.food.chocolate)
I read that as ‘Since when is the Weekly Standard “news media”?’
Please, here are some tastefully presented women of the conservative persuasion who are not being honored for mere hotness.
Given the inclusion of Bachmann and Coulter, clearly NOT about hotness
Looks like you’ve kicked up the hornet’s nest: ‘Scott Eric Kaufman Hates Smokin’ Hot Babes — And Negotiated Legal Agreements Too, Apparently’.
I promised to make no mention of him nor link to him, and I did neither. He’s bound by the same agreement, but has continually violated it over the past few months, a fact about which I really don’t care, which is why I haven’t brought it up.
(However, I’m glad he’s posting my phone number on the Internet, though, as that’s a very polite thing to do.)
Also, reading that private correspondence he published, I’ve got to say I come out quite well:
Holy crap, if I were a chair and found out one of my underlings left that comment in the fourth footnote, I’d be more than a little concerned.
The fact that that third footnote no longer links to anything doesn’t indicate that the material was inappropriate. Nope, not one bit. It was deleted because, um, not because it was inappropriate, it wasn’t.
And given that link 2 is still up, link 3 must have been a doozy.
Oh, my word. You can almost see her scary verginer.
So let me get this straight: The Michigan house censured a shrieking ninny for accusing Republican members of the house of raping her; and you idiots used this as evidence that Republicans are sexually repressed.
While at the same time, you ran off and told Mommy that someone was putting naughty pictures on the internet.
I’m having a tough time deciding which facet of this episode is the most repulsive: The rank hypocrisy; the pearl-clutching prudishness; or the cowardice of attacking someone at his job after he handed you your ass in a blog-fight.
SEK, you are simultaneously the biggest pussy, and the biggest dick, and the biggest asshole on the internet. Congratulations on hitting this unholy trifecta.

If I was turned into a slavering idiot at the mention of “vagina” I too might equate sexuality with repressive law. But that would be kinky.
a shrieking ninny
Subtext becoming text.
SEK, you are simultaneously the biggest pussy, and the biggest dick, and the biggest asshole on the internet.
I am sorry, but you already hold those titles, along with the stupidest person on the internets. Bask in your glory Pizza Brain.
Stupidest fucking person, DrDick. Don’t sell him short.
I doubt that he has ever fucked another actual person (goats are a different matter), since it is difficult to believe anyone would ever let him get that close to them.
Now, let’s be fair.
1) JenBob
2) Pastahead
3) The originator of Sasquatch Isreal.
4) Jonah Goldberg.
I mean, I’m sure noodle-boy is a contender. But I think JenBob edges him out.
OK, I will give you that, but Pizza Brain is surging hard to gain the title(s).
You misconstrue the order of operations:
1. He posted naked pictures of women on his site.
2. He said he made his students read his site because IT’S A GOOD THING.
3. I expressed my concern about it being A GOOD THING to send students to a site that contains naked pictures of women in a post.
4. After that post, my (former) department chair, as well as a few other random people in my department, received insane-sounding emails about my hatred of hot women, which was based on the not-at-all unrecognizable logic of “that’s what demonologists do.”
5. At the same time, comments like this were being left at this site:
6. I wrote a very judicious email to “Whom it may concern” in his department — which address, you’ll note, he redacted from the email so as to make it look like I sent this to the University president or something — indicating that I was becoming concerned with the behavior of a particular faculty member. Read my letter again: I didn’t want him fired, I’d just reached the conclusion that this particular person had slipped off the rails.
7. He threatened to sue me, frivolously, forever, so I said I’d never link to or discuss him again if he promised to do the same. He hasn’t — there are four posts about me he’s published in the past six months — but whatever, I’m only linking to Glenn Reynolds, so no harm, no foul.
8. If you honestly believe that the Donalde’s comment, quoted above in full, constitutes me “having my ass handed to me in a blog-fight,” you’re not a qualified ass-handler, as you’ve no idea whose is being handed who, nor why the victor’s going home with three while these poor folks are left with none.
Pasty Ass is not qualified as an ass wiper, let alone as a handler.
That’s pretty funny:
“SEK, you are simultaneously the biggest pussy, and the biggest dick, and the biggest asshole on the internet. Congratulations on hitting this unholy trifecta.”
So SEK is a dick, a pussy, and an asshole all at once. Trifecta!
When they call, Scott, could you record the mouth breathing? Does it sound different than it does right before they say “mega ditties, Rush”
I will be sure to document any calls that result very scientifically. Given that most of the conservatives I argue with online actually already have my phone number — Jeff G., Patterico, etc. — I’m not expecting any insane influx, but then again, people who read The Donalde by choice, and for (shudder) edification, well, we’ll see.
If godlstein’s weird testosterone addicted, old-ass Boomer squad ain’t calling and harassing you, then I think you are safe.
Goldstein? Sounds Jewy. Like one of those Israeli sasquatches Njorl mentioned above.
Dear Cthulhu, thank you for letting Pasta be unaware of all internet traditions.
I’m betting Pasta won’t click the link. Clicking links leads to learning! Learning leads to not being a Republican douchecanoe!
But yes, I do hope he continues to freak out about Israeli sasquatches.
The (seemingly willingly) uninformed make for comedy gold, don’t they…
Look it up, Pasta…
(My personal fave–with all respect due the Sadlys–is the Brain Rage post, “American Power And Anti-Semitic Hominids“. Jimmy Webb had a way with words, he did… I keep trying to convince him to come on back to the blogosphere five and dime, but he’s hooked on that real life stuff, and can’t shake that damned dirty monkey.)
It is simply more of that aggressively arrogant ignorance for which the right is justly known.
We have a nice real-life experiment here in whether Pastafarian is capable of shame. If not, he’ll be back. If so, he won’t.
Ten bucks says he’ll be back.
You might want to spend 12 seconds investigating genesis of the Israeli sasquatch. Links have been provided.
Uh, yeah, he’s Jewish. It’s an immaterial fact to him being an asshole….
You know, like you being a commenter here is just coincidental to your being an asshole
I was gonna say… T’wasn’t you who broke the ceasefire agreement… Teh Donalde’s mentioned you and that guy who isn’t TinTin several times recently, hoping to get in on the whole “I’m a victim” thing brought on by the RW “Kimberlin” jihad of late. (He wants so very badly to be taken seriously by his fellow Wingnuts that he’s willing to do whatever it takes… Sadly for him, several folks on the right saw through the mask and called him out for his own anti- free speech / Kimberlin-like behaviors…)
Besides… I have screencaps… God is watching…
In those pictures, Jenny Erikson appears to be brandishing a K98 Mauser in one of the pictures on the rightwingnews.com link. I mean we can always speculate that they are Nazi sympathizers…
Also, is it just me, or is the “attractive young conservative pundit” just some sort of gimmick? It’s like Ayn Rand, all some sort of puerile fetish thing. If the left had so many women who were leaning heavily on physical appearance to communicate message (what else is Cupp doing exactly?), the right-wing misogynists would be flipping out. I get that media prefers youth and attractiveness, but this is silly.
IANA firearms expert but it looks more like a variant of the russian Mosin-Nagant rifle.
Oh, a Lee Harvey Oswald impersonation then.
Um, Oswald used some Italian rifle.
What’s the ugliest
part of your body?
Some say your nose
Some say your toes….
La, la la la…
