December 3, 2019

I'm enjoying this Twitter spat between Greg Gutfeld and Molly Jong-Fast (the journalist/daughter of Erica Jong who got the big scoop interview of Lisa Page).




We talked about the interview yesterday, here. I didn't think there was anything in it worth reading. I just was fascinated by Page's calling attention to Trump's imitation of her boyfriend's orgasm. So I'm inclined to believe Gutfeld's "You’re the recipient of media welfare and the drooling posts after your 'scoop' prove it."

And while I'm here and talking about the attention given to the imitation orgasm, let me show you this other tweet from Jong-Fast:

We'd have all forgotten Trump's fake orgasm if Page and Jong-Fast hadn't dug it up and thrust it in our face yesterday. Take some responsibility.

And I think there are quite a few of us who remember having kids who suddenly needed explanations about Bill Clinton having oral sex in the White House.

But the news is the news. Keep your children away from all the news if knowing about the world as it is seems more damaging than protecting them from reality. There are so many things in the news that could hurt a youngster. Hearing a hard-breathing "I love you, I love you" from Trump is close to nothing unless the parent chooses to go graphic about it and explain what adults know. Why couldn't you just say "Oh, he's being silly and exaggerating how these 2 people were so in love with each other"?

I'm giving this my "using children in politics" tag because Hasan and Jong-Fast are just dragging children into view for their own political purposes. It's the desperate old what-about-the-children? plea.

Obviously you can just tell kids he's making a funny noise. The idea that children are going to be traumatized by this is hilarious.

Quaestor said...

Why are so many feminists so fragile that Trump's mockery of the Strzok/Page misalliance? (BTW, it appears Lil'Miss Jongfast is too lamebrained to realize Trump's "orgasm" was during his Strzok impersonation.) I thought the whole "feminism" was about the empowerment of women. Is it wise or even safe to trust psychologically fragile persons with any degree of power?

@Bay Area Guy

Modern professional women were never beyond this. Many of them became professional women exactly for this, in the same way many of them went to college because boys going to college were there and marrying a machinist is beneath them.

Never listen to what women say, especially feminists. Watch what they do, and who.

Quayle said...

it is all sordid stuff. But who did the greatest psychological violence? Trump to Page with his words? Or Page to herself with her adulterous affair? People can choose what they want to do. I get it. But let’s not lie about the discernible bitter consequences that our poor choices cause.

Does this explains Disney/ABC not covering Jeffery Epstein and Prince Andrew? They didn't want parents having to explain to their children that given an opportunity, royalty would love to take them to bed?

I haven't watched a political speech since the 2003 SOTU. I'd never know of the fake orgasm thing until I saw it here at Althouse. And if someone didn't tell me it was a fake orgasm, I would have never gotten it from the video. I don't think a child would have heard it and thought it was anything but basic mocking.

I remember a time when Hollywood made movies like When Harry met Sally. That's my standard for a fake orgasm.

Between this with Page and the impeachment being about Yavanovich, it's obvious the Democrats have decided the way to win 2020 is to make Trump sound toxic to women. Of course, to do this we have to ignore what people have done to Sondland. But then again, to make women always be victims we have to ignore that men are people too.

Also, sometimes there are oddities. Unfortunately, MyWife'sFirstName + MyLastName = SomethingSilly. She bit the bullet and went by SomethingSilly for about 3-4 years at the beginning of our marriage, but she realized that getting introduced as SomethingSilly at academic conferences was not making the best impression. So she eventually hyphenated. It's no biggie.

What's your evidence it's "desperate"? Sure, they have no argument, but they don't care about having no argument. These are progs, living in their prog bubble, unconcerned about what you or I or anyone else thinks. Page has nothing to fear. Jong-Fast has nothing to fear. The entire prog MSM-Dem-deep-state political-industrial complex supports people like this. Other than the existence of Donald Trump, there is nothing to be desperate about.

With kids it’s always going to be something. I was in middle school when feminine hygiene products started to be advertised on tv. If there were boys with us (hanging out as friends) watching tv we became horribly embarrassed.

With my son it was the ED commercials that seemed to run constantly on the sports channels. The first few times the commercials just passed by, then he wanted to know what they were, and then he would laugh when the came on. I think part of what made them so funny was how often the commercials ran.

Same thing with those damn Holocaust Museums and memorials. We've have forgotten about the effing Holocaust but they keep reminding us about it and bringing it up. Can't let it go already.

We keep getting reminded about these things. Trump mimicking the severely handicapped reporter, Serge Kovaleski. Trump calling foreign nations "shithole countries." Trump calling the Charlottesville/Friday night torch-bearers and the racist organizers "good people."

I'll say this about Trump; he keeps producing such a relentless stream of outrages that it is a bit difficult to keep them all in order. A spreadsheet might help.

Can you imagine having that conversation with your kids? Do you think daddy and her sat on the couch together to have that talk?

If her kids aren't old enough to be on the internet, just wait until they are.

n.n said...

Yes, there was a non-profit corporate campaign about superior exploitation through at least the 80s and early 90s that targeted children for reeducation. They mocked the religion of the Church, only to replace it with the quasi-religion ("ethics") of the Chamber. The bigotry was profound.

Oh yeah, they had to change that when Clnton blew it out of the water, so to speak.

It was politically incongruent (e.g. unprofitable) at the time. Unfortunately, Republicans mischaracterized or overestimated Feminist support... love for women and girls.

Boys Will Be Boys » Stop Abuse Campaign

"Boys will be boys" is no longer an acceptable phrase to excuse an entire gender of behaviors that are undesirable. Actually this sentiment is offensive to boys and men. It gives us the inaccurate picture that boys and men are incapable of acting in a respectful, dignified, and compassionate manner.

Projection... rabid diversity (i.e. color judgment): sexism, and so Pro-Choice. Willfully blind, ignorant, or corrupt? Perhaps they realize that progressive liberalism has placed civilized society at risk. Probably not.

"entire gender of behaviors"

At least they got this right. Binary sexes: male and female. Binary genders: masculine and feminine, respectively, of sex-correlated physical and mental attributes. Baby steps.

To repeat: If Page sees that as an orgasm she's not doing it right (despite all the lab science she does).

Bruce Hayden said...

“We have Lisa Page servicing her married superior, Peter Strzok.”

Actually, they were just coworkers. She effectively reported directly to DD McCabe, but acted as a bridge between Strzok and McCabe, who normally had maybe 3-4 layers of the bureaucracy between them. Their antics are humorous at times, when Strzok and McCabe are finagling to get together (with Page as their intermediary) without Strzok’s immediate boss, Bill Priestap present. Most notably, this occurred when Strzok was on his way back from London in August of 2016, presumably after the successful passoff of the predicate for their Crossfire Hurricane Russian Collusion investigation from the CIA, via the State Department.

I have zero sympathy for Lisa Page here. She actively conspired to use hers, her boss’, and her lover’s official government offices first to affect a Presidential election, and then when that failed, to destroy the Presidency of the man she tried to prevent from being elected. She violated her oath of office, by working to destroy our Constitution and our Constitutional form of government. What they all deserve is to be hung at a public execution, then drawn and quartered. Absent that, public embarrassment about her violating her marriage vows is about all that she is likely to see, as a result of her treasonous behavior.

Bruce Hayden said...

“Strzok always seemed a little light in his loafers to me.”

What was interesting to me was looking at the pictures of both Strzok and Page with their respective spouses. Strzok’s wife looks like a ball breaker, and very likely is. She earns more than members of Congress in her post at the SEC in charge of enforcement (apparently utilized by Strzok to leverage Byrne, the head of Overstock, to introduce a Russian attorney to Trump’s son and SIL, for their infamous Trump Tower meeting). She looks fairly big boned, either well muscled, or a bit overweight. Contrast her with skinny, whiney, Page, whose husband appears in pretty much every picture I have seen of him, as a doofus beta. Though a peer with Page on paper, Strzok was one of the most aggressive, most effective, FBI employees working against Trump. He was involved in almost every facet of the plot against Trump, up until getting fired. For her, he was an alpha male. And Page treated him like her hero, something that every straight guy craves, and he was unlikely to be getting at home.

I still would have loved to have been a fly on the wall, when Strzok’s wife confronted Page over the affair, effectively ruining the careers of the two lovebirds at the FBI.

That's how it came across to me. But perhaps it brought back memories to Lisa about her times with Peter.

Bruce Hayden said...

We discussed hyphenating my kid’s last name, and didn’t because of its excessive length (maybe 20 letters plus the hyphen). Instead we used her last name as a second idle name. We were all happy about that decision when our kid was in school. They spent middle and high school alphabetically right behind a girl with a hyphenated last name just a little bit shorter (maybe 18 letters), which stuck out like a sore thumb whenever everyone in the class was listed alphabetically. Imagine being the one kid in the class whose first name was automatically relegated to a second line, because their full name didn’t fit on one.

And, then, there is the question of what to do for the next generation? Hyphenate four surnames? Eight for a third generation. Though my ex has no sympathy for the patriarchy, she didn’t want our kid to be saddled with the longest last name wherever they went.

What's the current third wave feminist position on zipless fucks. I don't think an office romance has ever qualified as a zipless fuck, but what with the FBI, marriage partners, security phones, etc, this must qualify as one of the most zippered and condiciled fucks in the history of fucking. Who is the feminist hero and who the villain: Peter Strzok, his wife, Lisa or Trump? It seems to me that it takes some heavy lifting to make Trump the heavy in this melodrama, but they've done heavier lifting.....Emilia Clarke regrets her nude scenes on GOT. She doesn't regret being portrayed as some kind of supreme high, Nazi death goddess in the last episode. There's so much about modern civilization that I don't understand.

Lurker21 said...

If that was what a fake orgasm looks like, it's surprising that any man would be fooled by one. I wouldn't have jumped to "orgasm." It just looked like the president was imitating excitability. The way that kids make fun of the mushy, kissy parts of the movies. When they push the Barbie and Ken dolls together and move them around I guess that's simulated sexual intercourse, but would the kids or their parents really describe it that way?

Lurker21 said...

Molly wrote a Salon article, "Being a Prude in a Family of Libertines" in which she spreads a lot of dirt about her family. If she really were modest about sex, she probably wouldn't do that, would she? She'd keep it to herself. Part of her justification is that people already know all the stuff anyway (and actually care about it), but it could be that all that talk about prudes being obsessed by sex may be true after all, at least in her case. She concludes by saying that she isn't really a prude. Maybe, but she is certainly something of a narcissist. Too much information.

More information: She also wrote a whole book of stories about her family and their obsessions and eccentricities. Her grandfather was the Communist novelist Howard Fast (not that it matters or that anybody remembers). Her parents' marriage was a big thing back in the 70s. They wrote about it. A lot. It was clear it wasn't going to last. "I give it five years" was literally correct. Erica was a wild woman, and Jonathan was sort of a wimpy male feminist.

And, dude, MJF writes for the Bulwark and the Forward. I'm not sure she's right for the image they want to project.

Alec Rawls said...

Sheesh, there was no "fake orgasm." Trump mimed them talking to each other like lovers: "Oh Peter," "Oh Page," as if nobody talks to each other with heightened concern unless they are having sex. Jackasses.

This is like when the Never Trumpers were called cuckolds (because they are), and they tried to turn it around by pretending that cuckold, instead of being a centuries old term for betrayal by people who have pledged their loyalty (candidates and claimed conservative spokesman who turn on their supporters by shilling for the other side), is actually a racist term for a category of interracial porn.

It's a dirty fake, on the level of calling someone racist in an attempt to win an argument. Nobody was likening Never Trumpers to anything pornographic and mocking the passionate political criminality of Strzok and Page was not sexual either. These dirty minded evasions are par for the course for leftists and Never Trumpers but no one else should fall for such garbage lies.
