Blog Entry from The Daily Gotham

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.]
