Scott Sala blows a gasket

Faithful Daily Gotham reader Scott Sala is up in arms. He appears not to like the fact that I mentioned a bad word - "penis" - in connection with his party, and specifically in connection with the demonstrable fact that anyone not equipped with a "penis" seems to be having a hard time, no pun intended, running for the Senate as an (R) this year.

Well, Scott and his commenters have no truck with that insidious mirth at the expense of the "penis". There must be no discussion of any "penis" in the public sphere - unless that "penis" is attached to Bill Clinton.

Our worthy opponents stoop to a level of published discourse worthy of the porn websites from which they extract their political ideas.

Nicely put. Personally, I get most of my ideas from huge-communist-tatas.com, but that's just me. You know what's coming next. Wait for it, here it comes:

They get their sexual ideas from Bill Clinton, their role model in such matters!

Actually, in a sincere effort at bipartisanship, I now model myself on Jack Ryan, (R) of Illinois. Give me a sex club over a chubby intern any day. You with me, Scott?

But there's more. With rising indignation, and in reference to my snarky suggestion that Pirro's problems are shared by another non-"penis"-wielding (R) candidate, Katherine Harris, Scott assures us there is no linkage between "penis" possession and party support. Oh, and us liberals are just big 'ol meanies.

[The Daily Gotham's] portrayal completely ignored performance of the campaigns and speeds into an ignorant attack on Republican men.

Actually, Scott, I'm aware of Pirro's performance - I derive much amusement from it. I get even more mirth from the fact that she is, indeed, the best you have in the vale of tears that 2006 is going to be for you

Taking a page from the Michale [sic] Moore School of Spin, Daily Gotham connects 2 coincidental dots, jumps to a wild conclusion and then delivers the blanket. Fortunately [,] DG [sic] has few readers [sic] to read this crap.

Fortunately, Scott has even fewer readers, aside, presumably, from those lost, forlorn and bitter souls who have no other social outlet than to peruse his blog. Life can be lonely for New York right-wingers, you know.

I'm not even going to speculate on why the word "penis" arouses you to such ire, Scott. But it is Christmas. You have a very hard year ahead. Why such anger in the season of love, "penis" or no "penis"?

[Update: Scottie, I realize that you think you're in a competition with this site - as evidenced by the penis-measuring contest you seem to want to embark on. And while I'm personally flattered to be quoted by you almost daily, honestly, from where I stand, you're more an object of affectionate amusement than of concern.]

Heh, heh...

You said "penis." Heh, heh.

Wonder how he would react to someone saying "pancreas" or "lower bowel." They are all just parts of the body. Did he have to close his eyes in sex ed? Has he never heard the word "penis" uttered in public before? Man. Good thing you didn't say the word "vagina" or something!

Are we allowed to say "dick?" How about "bush?" Can we say "Dick and Bush have screwed America?"

Just watch the follow-up

Oh, well, the less said about them the better, but I will note that I get endless hours of amusement from these folks, especially when they go all Jerry Falwell, as in this case. Post after post about how morally superior they are - wankers all.

And now watch Scottie write an outraged post about how them damn liberals get all personal and insulting. Or....

How about this. I know you're going to read this, Scottie. Go ahead - amuse me. Write that post. Do it now. Dance for me. You know you want to.

It gets better....

Oh Lord, Sala ain't even the worst. That honor, perhaps to be called "Wankermeister", goes to one 'quickjustice', who delivers the following gems:

'"p------", in the raunchy phrase of the opposition'

The word is "penises". Now, now, don't get all upset about the raunch. It's going to be all right. Mommy won't find out.

'This contempt for the male gender is striking'

No, quickjustice, that contempt is more specific and directed at you.

Lesson: mock wingers as often as you can; it drives them even crazier.

I'm waiting for your posting, Scott. Do not disappoint me.

Fun

I often find it fun to bait the right wing fanatics. They are so predictable. Push a button and watch them go into a tizzy. Though I honestly never would have guessed that they would get all worked up over the word "penis." I mean it is an anatomical word! I am struck once again by how many right wing fanatics have never matured beyond elementary school. They go around going "ewww" over words like "penis" and they go around calling people "fags" when they want to insult someone. Man, I grew out of that stuff in junior high. I think it explains alot about their behavior if we realize that they may be developmentally impaired at a pre-teen stage.

Here are some other anatomical words for them to get freaked out over:

ovaries
gonad
spermatocytes
prostate

Hey, maybe if you had said "prostate" instead of "penis" they would have accepted it and it would have carried the same gender message.

I go away for business and you unleash the penis envy?

What am I going to do with your boys, molesting with your potty mouths those poor Republicans. Leave them alone. They already have a harder time than Tom Cruise coming out the closet, you have to come along and penis them with their politics. Boo frucking hoo.

Heh.

Progressive Districts

Only in New York

Fossella [is] anything but the independent fighter for constituents that he claims to be in this campaign. He has been a real water-carrier for the Bush administration and the Republican leadership, staunchly backing the war in Iraq while at the same time denying health benefits to National Guard and Reserve members who make up much of the American force there.

The congressman...has been unsympathetic to environmental concerns and has opposed a woman’s right to choose. He does his constituents no favors by his support for privatizing Social Security. He has voted to protect gun makers and sellers. While Mr. Fossella has lately sought funding to deal with health problems related to to the attacks of Sept. 11, he has largely been missing on important local issues. His Democratic colleague, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who represents the Sixth District, has often been left to advocate Staten Island’s many transportation needs, including the North Shore rail.

Mr. Fossella has offered only lame excuses for improperly using his campaign funds for skiing holidays in Vail (including lessons and equipment), as well as vacations in Florida — transgressions first reported by the Daily News. He has received donations from a lobbying firm with ties to Jack Abramoff. Earlier this year, he was fined a reported $60,000 for misusing his taxpayer-funded official mailing privileges.
