Reader Feedback on "McNasty!"
you have made a valid point. i would only add that it all translates to why politicians exist: power.

Yeah, McCain is terrible. Phil Donahue for President!

it's really almost impressive how stupid the conservative commentators sound here. total absence of moral logic. no attempt to muster a rational argument. their candidate gets exposed as a misogynistic creep and the best they can do is to scream "wah-wah! no fair! clinton cheated! wah-wah!" what a delight it's been to watch the right collapse under the weight of its own idiotic arrogance. wah-wah! what a pack of losers. they dish it out, but they can never take it. ah well, at least you guys can rent that palin porn and spank it in the privacy of your own gun-festooned basements.

You sound sooooooo offended. When I am 72, the shit people can talk would be endless. Based on your fired indignation, President Kennedy probably deserved to get shot, Clinton impeached...cheating louses!...Put in perspective, will ya?...Nobody gets offended when women say they cream over Clinton or when Barbara Walters calls him sexy to his face. Where is the indignation there?....we'll see what skeleton's fall out of Slick Willy's closet when all is said and done....someone please, pass the Couvoisier.

Yes, this guy has a point of view, but I think it's relevant and concerning. Frankly, it connects the dots in a way that I haven't seen elsewhere.

1)I'm a woman, and I won't be voting for McCain, but my response to the 'evidence' that Almond has dredged up to paint a picture of sexism is one of indifference. They each seem to be either hearsay or in poor taste, and none of it rises above what we've seen from the Clintons, the Kennedys, the Bidens... 2)Does Hooksexup really have to be so shriekingly political? This piece wasn't even entertaining - what is Hooksexup for, exactly? 3)I like much of Steve's work. This piece is just part of the tunnel vision that comes with election hysteria and I hope to see more relevant, sharp, entertaining material from him in the future.

The rest of us aren't posting about how utterly biased this article is, because it's so obvious. Nobody should be deciding how to vote based on an off-color joke told two decades ago and a few other things taken entirely out of context. This is not the kind of article that I come to Hooksexup to read.

I really don't give two shits about off-color jokes and adultery. That's the basis of this article, and to champion it is to cast a wide net over not only Bill Clinton, Ted & Jack Kennedy, and every other politician, but many people the world over since time immemorial. As to poor Chelsea Clinton, I've got nothing against her, but a president's family has long been game for such barbs. The president's daughter is UGLY! Oh my god, the sky is falling! As to the ape joke, he ALLEGEDLY said it. In court, they call it hearsay, and it's not admissible. And maybe very few of you actually read the article that ALLEGES this, and notice that some Arizona dems brought it out less than a week and a half before the election. Again, I'm playing devil's advocate here. Sarah Palin is incontrovertible proof of why no one should vote for McCain. It's just amazing that only one of you will acknowledge how utterly biased this article is, and how it's just as bad a character attack on McCain as Palin asserting Obama and Bill Ayers are "pals". Glass houses, sticks and stones, two wrongs, he who is without sin, he that lies down with dogs... PO is right on one point. There is such a thing as "running up the score" and will only sabotage the gains you've already made. Steve Almond is giving the likes of Karl Rove and the late Lee Atwater some kind of creepy orgasmic smile somewhere, and I don't like that image one bit.

XXX--Why should Hooksexup pretend to be impartial? To my knowledge, it's never claimed to be so and there's nothing wrong with that. If you want news, read a newspaper. This is a magazine for cultural commentary. If you don't like the opinions expressed (however well-founded they are) then you don't need to read them. JC--It doesn't really work to act like you're looking for high-minded dialogue when you condone a nasty, mean-spirited, and very public joke about a teenage girl made by a grown man. If he wanted to bash Reno, he should have taken her on on her own merits, instead of taking a cheap shot at her looks by publicly humiliating a kid. Pick on someone your own size.

So if McCain's a creep we have to call Obama a creep also, just to be balanced? What a bunch of crap. Sometimes things really are one-sided. That's not bias, it's just the truth.

Damn you guys hate McCain. Where's your op ed pieces on Obama? At least PRETEND to be impartial.

The real point to make here is not that the article was unfair to McCain (it isn't at all) or is too nasty in its own right. The point is: this thing's over. Don't give the right wingnuts anything else to point to on TV and say "that's why the left must be defeated." The writer -- and the editors of this blog -- has a tin ear for politics. SNL should drop the Palin thing already, and Hooksexup should not be hopping into politics at this late date with an article that was cribbed almost in its entirety from the middle section of the Rolling Stone piece. Drop it.

"...you've lowered the tone..." What do you call a presidential candidate who jokes about apes raping women, calls his wife a "cunt" and jokes about adolescent girls?
--pam

To be honest, I take the joke more as a jab at Reno. And by calling me an idiot and and asshole, you've lowered the tone, just as Steve Almond does. Congrats. Direct your anger and nastiness someplace useful. Like chopping wood, or torturing kitties. I didn't call any of this untrue, but the entire thing is the very definition of biased. You're obviously not only easily offended, but utterly clueless as to what "biased" means.
--JC

Dear JC, Let's see, you think that the Chelsea Clinton joke was "pretty solid". That is, it's ok for a US senator to call the then adolescent daughter of the President of the U.S. ugly? How would you like your colleagues making jokes about how ugly your daughter is? You're an idiot and an asshole. And, what part of this article did you find untrue or biased?
--RD

Doesn't this belong on the Daily Kos, Huffington Post, or Olbermann's show, and not Hooksexup? I'm sure it's written by one of the many hundreds of Sarah Palin hand-wringers that almost made me want to vote for that poor bastard. Save your contempt for someone that deserves it, like Bush. Plus, the Chelsea Clinton joke is pretty solid. Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting for him, but it's idiots like this that make me feel more than a little bad for the guy. What a hatchet job.
