he's putrid
every other sentence is a rewrite of history, a lie, or ponyspeak.
You don’t know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake, you’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed.

Did Alter screw up his submission to the Daily Mail?
Seriously, beyond just that little gem the entire thing reads like it belongs in a tabloid. Newsweek really has lowered its standards beyond the normal dreck that is most US journalism.
PB 2.0 - Supplement the wonk!
I dunno...this one reads more like Cigar Aficionado.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
JFK has been shot, we miss him a lot
He always knew what to do

i really like how the 'most
i really like how the 'most storied marriage' and how it's 'going to play out on the world stage' gets talked about first, before he mentions that oh yeah, btw, she knows a few world leaders.
One question Alter never answered
Where did Hillary Clinton learn how to signal secret assassination plots? Is she, as I always feared, a CIA-trained killer who's gone rogue?
aha!
i'd always wondered where they sent first ladies to charm school to learn how to conduct all those tea parties.
I couldn't read past the first paragraph
where he compares Bill Clinton to John Wayne Bobbit -- we've now moved beyond using castration as a metaphor, and are now using literal examples.
Alterman is one sick puppy
and ditto the editors who let that article make it to press.
You were just a bit quicker than me on this one, Iphie. Nice catch.
Hillary certainly does seem
to scare the bejeebus out of a lot of these guys. And I say, "More power to you, Hill. You're my girl."
clinton derangement syndrom
arrogant losers just about sums up the entire NewsWeek masthead
"They're baaaack!!!" was enough for me.
"They're baaaack!!!" has always been from the angle of "they won't go away," as if it has been decided by societal decree that they can no longer be active in politics.
If I was Chelsea, I'd never read anything with the word "Clinton" in it. I'd have looked 60 by the age of 20 from all of the stress.
This piece was particularly egregious being that the primary campaign has been over for what, like half a year now? lol
But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
I just sent this to the Women's Media Center Sexism Watch.
Just in case Jonathan's stellar writing isn't the last instance of unrepentant misogyny pushed by the media, the WMC does have an online form to submit other examples.
Thanks
I do hope they'll concur with my considered judgment that Mr. Alter should go fuck himself.
That is physically impossible, VL
Cuz, I can tell you, Alter's real problem is that he suffers from vagina envy. Hence, the impossibility of fucking himself :D
He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave.
