The Lasso of Truth

Glenn Reynolds characterizes it as blood libel

For the less refined among us, it looks more like they're smearing their hands in the blood of the dead and making cutesy little finger paintings with it...

A lot has been made of Sarah Palin's now infamous graphic showing which Congressmen her PAC was "targeting" for defeat using cross hairs. Politics uses war imagery -- just as any cause does ("war on cancer" "battle against X" and the "fight against Y"). I just don't see a connection between the cross hairs and shooting Gabrielle Giffords and think you have to be an idiot to make such a connection...

Idiot is a charitable way to put it.  I somehow doubt I'm the only person who considered the possibility that Warren typed his post with only one hand.  In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he types every post that way.

And suddenly...

The Toronto Mayoral race becomes a tight one between Ford, or Not Ford.

And I would be remiss in my duties as snarky blogtress if I did not point out how magnificently Rocco Rossi's campaign exploded, coincidentally the very moment he recruited Warren Kinsella as the kick-ass-and-take-names volunteer of the year.

High five Special K!

The race to be ruler of The Center of the Universe (TM)

I don't get to vote for Mayor of Toronto because, thankfully, I don't live in Toronto, but the mayoralty race in The Center of the Universe ^(TM) is at least entertaining in the same way a carnie freak show is.

Enter the bearded lady...

Warren Kinsella, the controversial Liberal spin doctor and political strategist, is joining the campaign team of trailing mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi.

Kinsella, a bare-knuckle political scrapper, confirmed the news Monday. He is considered a prize catch by the Rossi camp near the start of the important post-Labour Day campaigning season.

Kinsella is president of Toronto-based Daisy Consulting Group and has run campaign “war rooms” for former prime minister Jean Chrétien and Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty. He is expected to do the same for Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff in the next federal election.

This is pure, irrefutable proof that Rocco Rossi is either a comic genius playing a colossal practical joke on the citizens or Toronto or, a certifiably retarded tool and thus, only a marginally serious contender for the throne.

I found this little tidbit somewhat amusing though, considering my personal history with Catmeat Kinsella...

Kinsella’s brazen pronouncements include, on a Canada AM panel during the 2000 federal election, ridiculing the creationist views of then-Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day by holding up a purple toy dinosaur and reminding Day that “The Flintstones was not a documentary.”

I know I would jump at the chance of adding to my team, the political prowess of a man who uses The Flinstones as his primary cultural reference for scathing and witty comeback talking points.

The historic stupidity of Special K

100 ways to wok your dog

At first, I expected to find Warren Kinsella's paw prints all over this one...

[He] prides himself on being an outspoken, politically incorrect curmudgeon and is quite impressed with his efforts to devise a fictional menu for what he calls his Dog Liver Cafe, featuring "authentic Asian canine cuisine."

Among the sickening delicacies he has dreamed up: "S5 Boiled or baked dog head with garlic butter -- choose your own head from live dog pen; D08 Whole roast suckling puppy; and D17 Poodle w/ noodle."

Until I noticed this guy actually had the balls to tell the politically correct hand-wringers to go stuff it.

Couldn't be Wascalwy Warren.

The Sweet Smell of Victory

I have been informally declared the winner (language warning) of the pinup duel from last week, though the victory is somewhat hollow due to the fact that the true heavyweight contender bailed out at the outset.  Otherwise, my U.S.S. Missouri-caliber ass might have gone down in flames under the onslaught of burlesque charm that Kathy has in the arsenal.

Be that as it may, much as it is a surprise to discover a living, breathing man in Ontario who has not seen me naked, I have managed to win over at least one more admirer.  Just imagine how enthusiastic he'll be when he discovers that this latest pinup isn't the only saucy lingerie pic of me, in that Pinup category.

I haven't been charmingly flattered this way since I took compliments in the form of $20 bills.  Skippy is...colourful...but luckily, I'm not the kind of girl who keeps couth in my repertoire.

So, in my gratitude for the salacious affections of one of my favorite Justice League members, I have a gift for you Skippy...one that you should appreciate almost as much as my ass...

...yet another opportunity to mercilessly mock one Warren Kinsella.

You see, you are not the only man to be distracted by my physical appeal.  Wascalwy Warren was once enchanted enough to openly declare me (in my own comments section, no less!) as "butt-ugly", which he followed up with the coup de grace that "I also recall that you lack a neck, like Fred Flintstone. No disrespect to Fred intended."

I believe in some far off corners of the universe,mocking laughter can still be heard.  So astute is that erstwhile, balding war-roomer.

See Skippy?  A custom-made thank-you gift.  One that can only be fully appreciated by you.

Like a fly on the wall

Overheard in the Liberal War Room...

Ignatieff: But surely as anyone with a PhD in advanced economic theory realizes, the only way to eliminate the deficit is to raise taxes. It was common knowledge among us faculty at Harvard. Indeed, I remember attending a striking lecture on the subject ...

Consultant: Excuse me, professor Brainiac, but we have been through this a hundred times. Let me repeat, politics is not like Harvard. Didn't you read the Liberal campaign manual I sent you?

Had this particular consultant been Warren Kinsella, surely the sound of sizzling catmeat would have been heard in the background.

Still Waters

Skippy joins the pile on...

Warren Kinsella is a preening, smug, inept, hypocrite and in that he embodies everything that is wrong with both professional politics and the human spirit. That so many Liberals hate him far more than I do - and I loathe the cocksucker more than words can say - tells me that the battle for whatever is left of the party's soul is far from over. He's an intellectual and moral dwarf and a SLAPP-happy thug, more than willing to play both sides of the fence, depending on which is more beneficial to his personal vendettas, both real and imagined. He relies on "libel chill" far more often than he does actual argument. Words like "sleazy" and "stupid" don't go far enough in describing everything he embodies, but the limitations of the English language are what they are. He's the skunk who farts at a garden party and then levels an accusing glare at an innocent fat guy in the corner.

And really, who can argue with that?

Somebody get him a biscuit

Special K is in full smarm mode and feeling quite pleased with himself.

And does anyone doubt that our boy Warren had a need to pull out that spare pair of clean trousers he keeps for coffee spills and Obama rallies?

Monica's dress probably never saw so much enthusiasm.

It just occurred to me that Binks is probably their bastard child.  GAWD I'm so good at this.

Begging to be relevant

Is it comedy or tragedy when the village idiot casts off his helmet and systematically slams his forehead into every brick wall he sees..?

In the exchange Warren Kinsella, Michael Ignatieff's "War-room chief" threatens to use his influence to denounce the CIC to the Liberal Party of Canada if the CIC does not accede to his brazen demands that Pro-Israel bloggers Kate MacMillan of smalldeadanimals and Kathy Shaidle of 5FeetOfFury, subjects of an on-going personal vendetta by Warren, be excluded from a CIC sponsored trip to Israel. Sources have disclosed that Kinsella's e-mail was rightfully perceived as a threat when reviewed by the CIC board, the matter was considered, a vote was taken, and a near unanimous decision rendered that Warren Kinsella's relationship with the Canadian Jewish Congress be terminated.

After trying (and failing in spectacular disgrace) to get Kathy kicked off an appearance on The Agenda, Wascalwy Warren sees pitch blackness at the bottom of his hole and begins to dig with hands and feet.

For American readers who may be unfamiliar with Warren, try to imagine Howard Dean's scream, magnified to the power of 10, carrying on for a succession of decades and accompanied by sickeningly obnoxious (and poorly played) punk music.  That would come close to resembling Warren's sweet, dulcet tones.

Mark Steyn rightfully wonders why Warren's very public boss doesn't slap a mammoth slice of duct tape on the gaping maw that is Warren's mud-slinger.  I think it's a silly question though...they're Liberals.  Famously known for coddling and valuing retards above all others.

Warren's favorite target, Ezra Levant has also noted our dear friend's erratic behaviour and actually feels a little sorry for him.  I can't say I agree.  Everybody always cheers when the bully finally gets that black eye he's been begging for.  This is no different.

Thing is though, everyone keeps asking what sane, rational, mature, professional adult would so publicly and shamelessly embarrass himself this way?  Are we missing something?

I believe you are.  And it's quite simple really.

Warren is a classic masochist.  Paddle licking, tanned ass, boot sucking masochist.

I say we just take up a collection and send Wendy around to give him a good working over.  I hear she's done that kind of thing before ;)  He'll be peeing his pants and and sweating in no time.  Maybe then, he won't feel the need to seek out his floggings so publicly in future.

Weekend Pinup

~ It's nice to see the Israelis have finally learned how to employ the language of international diplomacy..."Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert threatened on Sunday a "disproportionate response" to the continued firing of rockets into Israel from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip."  After all, verbal thuggery garners nothing short of fawning respect for their neighbours.  Speaking of which...

~ When a civilization favours violence and domination over diplomacy and cooperation, no one should be surprised when they view an outstretched hand as a sign of weakness -- and an invitation to strike.  Yes, I believe I read that somewhere.  Would it be out of line for me to send Barack Obama the full collection of Steyn works, as a cheaper and more effective substitute for his entire team of foreign affairs advisers?

~ Meanwhile, closer to home, playing the "weak horse" card nets you fawning press coverage and $10.5 million taxpayer dollars to soothe your woes.

~ And even closer to home, Warren Kinsella, wannabe discourse crusader and the only man to ever pronounce me as "butt-ugly", learns that press coverage may not always be fawning -- even when you are a faithful guzzler of the PCKool-Aid.  And exactly how much PC Kool-Aid do you have to drink, to lump "expression" (in full scare quotes, no less) into the same category as "child pornography, snuff films and hate propaganda", I wonder?  Perhaps Wascalwy Warren should investigate the proper definition of "actual harm".

~ Lastly, you may scoff but anyone who has ever braved a tiny stage with an unforgiving metal pole, bad lighting, 6" heels and no kneepads, knows it takes a lot more skill than half the Olympic sports these days.

The career litigant

Suddenly finds himself on the other side of the courtroom...

In the opening day of a defamation suit against Liberal political strategist Warren Kinsella, the man bringing the suit told the court that he is now labelled as someone who is involved in terrorist activities.

[..]

A statement of defence filed with the court argues that Mr. Kinsella's words were a "combination of statements of fact and expressions of opinion" and "fair comment made in good faith and without malice."

I would venture to say that Warren Kinsella doesn't deign to open his big fat trap to anyone without a considerable measure of malice and has consistently demonstrated an utter lack of consideration toward the concept of "good faith".

Of course, that's just an expression of my "opinion" and "fair comment".  But not just mine.
