Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

certain men will bone up for the crack of dawn so WHO KNOWS

RESIST JOKES

c'mon, Alfred. Give it your best. . . shot

... So she is successful because she eats our beautiful woman-hating farts???? I am even more confused.

This was funny because KLo started whining before doing any research whatsoever:

Brad Thor Is One Brave Author [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

In response to Larry David's crass use of a painting of Christ on Curb Your Enthusiasm this past weekend, Thor, the bestselling fiction writer comments in his social media worlds: "All I want to know is, when is the Muslim episode?"

Thor, of course, is not asking for Mohammed to be similarly used in an upcoming episode. He's simply pointing out that that would likely never be allowed to air. And Flemming Rose can tell you why.

(Listen to Brad Thor on NRO this summer here.)

UPDATE: A reader writes:

Hi K-Lo:

HUGE Corner/NRO fan, but I have to correct you on Curb Your Enthusiasm
post. Larry David had a hilarious episode a few years ago where he
actually did mock Muslims wearing burqas (if I recall correctly, he
set up a blind friend of his with a Muslim woman wearing a burqa, with
disastrous results). His humor is incredibly crass, but he's an equal-
opportunity offender.

kinda wonder how her colleagues feel about her

Judging by the way they let her walk around the NRO office with no makeup and her hair looking like it's been licked by a dog a few times, not very much.

And Jonah has no room to speak, appearance-wise.

her hair looking like it's been licked by a dog a few times

totally, seriously, earnestly for real: in awe of this image

you should really come up for my friend's Oscar party and do color commentary

"licked by a dog a few times"

*peanut butter joek*

Here's the Divine Miss Maggie Gallagher, who's so enthusiastic about keeping homos from marrying:

There needs to be some kind of law of argument to the effect that, the more widespread the trope "I bet that X would never say that about Y" is, the more closely the likelihood that X has already said that about Y is 100%.

Kathryn Jean Lopez lived alone with her collie. On her 30th birthday, some of her friends from National Review snuck into her house to throw her a surprise party when she came home from work. They all hid in the basement and kept the collie downstairs with them.

They heard K-Lo come home and move around the house a bit. Then she called for her dog, and the collie began to bark from the basement. John Nordlinger opened the basement door and everyone from NRO walked in, but THEY got the surprise: K-Lo was naked, and covered in peanut butter! (One part of her anatomy was particularly peanut-buttered, at least according to John Derbyshire.)

Here's a photo of Gallagher after California's supreme court ruling in 2008:

Yeah but when does the collie get to lick the peanut butter from K-Lo's hair?

lol something tells me there's a forest awaitin behind the jif, my frien'

also WTF omar little

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

i like the idea of J-Lo in peanut butter but i don't see how she could resist licking it off her own body

http://www.newcriterion.com/images/biopics/jn.gif

i need to be on record, again, as being kind of skeeved out by all the grody fat joeks etc directed at k-lo and her body...

but you know what, fuck it, WHAT IS THE DEAL with all these women who i'd bet dollars to donuts have NEVER FELT THE TOUCH OF A MAN are so het up against gay marriage, or gay existence more to the point??

virgin-americans can stfu about anybody else's bodily life imo

I dunno about you, but I'm offended when disheveled people tell me that I'm morally repugnant.

i suddenly feel kind of skeeved too tbh
as much as i hate k-lo and think she is an idiot

i mean they let nordlinger walk around without makeup looking bald too but no one cares

yeah c'mon you guys her views are so nasty and batshit and insane what's the big deal?

with all these women who i'd bet dollars to donuts have NEVER FELT THE TOUCH OF A MAN are so het up against gay marriage, or gay existence more to the point??

dollars to donuts, K-Lo probably prefers donuts over sex

bald jokes are harder; fat jokes are easy. and we have someone like Alfred on staff who takes the jokes to a new level of dog lickery

In fairness, I would feel worried about anyone who read a sentence about K-Lo licking peanut butter off of her body and DIDN'T feel skeeved. It almost has nothing to do with K-Lo herself and everything to do with that act being inherently gross, so putting it on top of already-evident K-Lo hate magnifies the awfulness all around.

also I'd never seen a picture of Nordlinger before and now that I have about a million child molester jokes came to mind

like he seriously looks like the type of dude who would put a naked eight-year-old on a hoagie and just go to town

The problem isn't her obesity or her purple nail polish: it's that K-Lo is an amateur who isn't even very good at articulating her batshit positions.

Don't worry about Nordlinger, Michael Ironside is about to make his head explode.

i dislike smugness on both sides of the political spectrum tbh but there's something about the smugness that attends race-baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, war-mongering, and a lack of care for those less fortunate that is 100x worse than the smugness that comes with telling people you're right about the environment being a major concern and major corporations being evil much of the time.

(I do wonder how much just being nice to someone can affect their political viewpoint sometimes; like, if someone was just nice to these people would they be more open to more liberal viewpoints? And vice versa; if people were nicer about economic conservatism, would it come across as negatively as it does? btw social conservatism enforced on me is a total no-go so fuck off with this shit, I don't care how nice you are to me)

(lol I answered my own aside, huh)

i dislike maggie gallagher more because she is a good deal more fanatical and less pathetic-sounding than k-lo

i didn't wanna make this a serious thing but goole and suzy started it. i totally lol at this stuff too but i hate pretending it's justified by how awful she is.

the sexism, i mean

how nice were the sf gay community reps to buju banton?

i mean if that was true then why say anything about her being obese. not saying i'm not a fattist ever but you're lying to yourself imo

Religious right leaders have said that it was Reagan's care and attention that won them to the GOP; Big Bush notoriously blew them off and voilà 1992.

i dislike maggie gallagher more because she is a good deal more fanatical and less pathetic-sounding than k-lo

And she seems to be taken more seriously? I have heard her interviewed on shows like Talk of the Nation, whereas K-lo seems to be written off.

I made no fat jokes! I said her hair looked like it'd been licked by a dog and she wore no makeup, both of which are self-evidently true.

i can see your point harbl-- if i had a blog or a radio show i would never ever say the things about J-Lo that i say on this thread. i'm not saying this to justify my sexism or whatever, i'm just a guy who wants to lol at an idiot on the internet

xpost nah i'm just saying in general! nevermind though. i like this thread.

i think k-lo's opinions are too run of the mill right wing or something, she's just sort of a bland talking head. maggie g. is a frothing-at-the-mouth bigot w/r/t a specific cause.

just want some honesty, is all

you said the rest of the NRO staff "lets her walk around" as such, ehh little over the line imo.

fellas need to put the ugly broad on a leash amirite!

xps

LOL am a dab hand with the fatteh jokes myself sometimes but I do try to limit them to being about my dad's evil widow Planet I mean Janet. Sometimes there's nothing else that works on a 250-pound meanie who bullies old people until they die.
