Because nothing makes me as horny as an onion ring, laying there so slippery, greased up and begging for it.

Ugh.

Hi, I'm new. Now, I am sure this is actually for real. For real-real, right? Wow.

Can any female actually be so dense as to accuse you of being inappropriately busty while meeting the president? THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY.

I have no idea what you look like, but it doesn't matter.
I'm busty. And sometimes I feel inappropriate in things that look good on me because I feel like I show too much cleavage. Even though it's totally appropriate, my mind is trained but this fucked up world to self-doubt. Usually when I think that, I think, could a small chested girl get away with this? If the answer is yes then I wear it anyhow. I'm talking sweaters, not bikini tops. I'm sad about this now that I've read this.

I still can't believe how many women tear eachother down.

"I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O� of an onion ring is a vagina symbol."

I might be alone on this, but when I see an onion ring, I don't think of a vagina. Not even if I was at Burger King with good old Slick Willy.

Oh Althouse, it kind baffles me that she can be so sinister and yet so freakin goofy at the same time.

Now THAT's funny. It is also proof positive that Ann Althouse is certifiably Bat Shit Crazy!

Oh yeah, onion rings make me so hot. Onion rings + Bill Clinton? Me-ow...

She's proof of how fucked-up the educational system in America is. if she were my professor, I'd want my money back & use it to apply to Hamburger University.

O baby.

Sometimes an onion ring is just an onion ring.

Oh, also? "I still can't believe how many women tear eachother down." I don't know if anything like this surprises me anymore. Sad, but true.

"I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O� of an onion ring is a vagina symbol."

I can't think of a single blooger who would agree with that.
Kinda makes me wonder which ones Ann is hanging out with, and if they blog with crayons because if they used keyboards, they might hurt themselves...

Shameless shock-blogging, and not much more.

No Vervain, even little kids are psychologically healthy enough not to confuse Onion Rings with a vagina.

What does Ann Althouse's association of Onion Rings with vaginas have to say about her? I think it proves that she is a closet lesbian.

Lets look at the facts; first she takes notice of Jessica's breast under a sweater in a photo that gave no one else any sexual thrill at all. And now she sees an Onion Ring as symbolism of a vagina. Me thinks it is a reflection that she has got female body parts on the minds, and sees sex with women everywhere.

Come on Ann Althouse release yourself from your self repressed prison. I like woman, and it is obvious that you like women Ann Althouse, so I suggest you stop your cravings (and mad ravings), and go out and indulge in the sexual fantasies that you have been aching to engage in. Ann Althouse, you will be a much happier person (like Mary Cheney) if you just admit who you really are.

Ann Althouse is nuts. In other news, the Pope is Catholic, bears still defecate in the woods, and water is still wet.

I don't think that her fixation indicates that she's gay. Rather, I think she's erotically obsessed with Bill Clinton. In her weirdzo world view, Bill Clinton is a sexual Van de Graaff machine that imparts an erotic charge to anything in his proximity.

oh, p-p-p-p-please, PLEASE, don't let ann althouse be gay. ugh! i can just imagine her referring to herself as a representative of both feminists AND lesbians worldwide. "speaking for all lesbians worldwide, i have to point out that the onion ring is really a vagina."

Hmmmm...if my vagina were an onion ring, I would never have to want for oral sex...hmmmmm.

I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that the onion ring joke was a reference to Bill's love of fatty foods...but thanks to Ann Althouse, I've become enlightened and realized that a circular ring with no depth represents my vagina, as do other circular rings such as wedding bands, hair scrunchies, Lifesavers and those Livestrong bracelets.

seriously, if my vagina was an onion ring my fiancee would be permanently attached...

honestly... where does she get this shit. she forms and opinion and then looks for anyway to attempt to support it.

She likes to think clinton is a sex crazed maniac so lets make sure there is some evidence to it..
obviously the onion ring was teh logical choice

Her typical response to people responding to her, but I personally enjoy where she talks around the issue of her post about the bloggers picture.

"TRex brings up last year's biggest anti-Althousiana topic: my interpretion of a photograph of Bill Clinton with a group of bloggers who'd just had lunch with him. That lunch was, ostensibly, an effort to help the Hillary Clinton campaign by using Bill's clout to influence bloggers to think well of her. In the photograph, the woman posed in front of Bill had the effect -- I argued -- of reminding us of Monica Lewinsky."

The way she writes about it makes it seem the issue was about Clinton, and not what it was - an issue with Jessica. After all, the debate wasn't about Bill's stance but someone else's chest. And I wouldn't have called what she did "arguing" in a persuasive sense, but "being catty" in a bitchy sense.

And I don't think it's coincidence that the title of this post is "Let's take a closer look at Bill's carrot and Hillary's onion ring." Sounds similar to another post of hers?

Did the sight of this post (before clicking on the link) remind anyone else of the Scrotasil ad script Elise posted here:

? Like maybe onion cuisine aroma could be the macho counterpart of "spring meadow" or whatever?

OmG, it could be made by the people who make Tag.
"Have your nads been smelling like flowers & country meadows lately? Manlify them with Tag! In three manly scents--onion ring, chilli dog, & nacho!"

Or: "Guys, do you sometimes get that excessively-fresh feeling?

Hmm. I thought you all knew better? A great comic once said "You don't chose to be gay -- you're chosen." And dammit, Althouse could never get passed the swimsuit competition.

No werechick, you're gay (or bisexual) if you form sexual thoughts about the same sex, or have desires to have sex with members of the same sex. I think it is obvious that Althouse is attracted to Jessica, and that she sees a vagina as a tasty hole. Also I think Althouse is jealous of Mr. Clinton, because women find him attractive. Perhaps Althouse wants her own Hillary (but she can't have Hillary Clinton, because Hillary is not gay). I think homosexuals should have the right to opening express their love for each other, live openly in the military, and be able to get married, and I think that all lesbians, even Althouse, should be supported and encourage to live the way they want to live.

werechick, we should be supportive of Althouse, and help her along the path to leaving the closet. Perhaps after she comes out of the closet she will switch over to our side (the political left).

This may sound satirical, but it is not.

No werechick, you're gay (or bisexual) if you form sexual thoughts about the same sex, or have desires to have sex with members of the same sex.

I've always been of the opinion that what makes people identify as gay is a desire to have a romantic relationship with the opposite sex, not just sex or sexual thoughts about them, which explains "gay-for-pay" in porn films. But I'm bisexual, so what do I know? Being attracted to both sexes is normal, for me.

Ann's definitely not a lesbian. She's just a narcissist. She pretty much admits she wrote the onion ring post to get attention. Her spiteful attack on Jessica was obviously inspired by the "threat" Jessica (a young and attractive woman who stands out even in a group photo) represents to her (an attractive but not-as-young woman who can't stand to see someone else getting all the attention she feels *should* be focused on her). She's utterly self-involved and virtually everything she does screams "LOOK AT ME! PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

If you need any further proof, watch this video clip and pay close attention to her body language (particularly in contrast to the interviewer): http://feministing.com/archives/006760.html
She has the total self-awareness of every bad actor I've ever seen--the ones who suck because their every word and gesture says "Look at me, I'm ACTING!"

Let's not indulge her narcissim any further by giving her more attention. That's precisely what she wants.

"No werechick, you're gay (or bisexual) if you form sexual thoughts about the same sex, or have desires to have sex with members of the same sex. I think it is obvious that Althouse is attracted to Jessica, and that she sees a vagina as a tasty hole."

I don't like how this conversation is going and Itazura, you have one leg over the line on this one. Being a lesbian is about more than just sex and sexual desires, that may be what men want it to be about, but it is so much deeper than that and to assume it is screams ignorance.

I find it extremely disturbing that you are using lesbian as an insult to Althouse. Yes, she is a nutjob, but to take that and say lesbian is worse than what she did.

Sorry for being overly simplistic, but my point is that you can be gay, even if other homosexuals don't accept you. Also I am not trying to insult Althouse, but rather to let her know that we are comfortable and supportive of her homosexuality.

None of my comments were meant to offend Althouse or lesbians, but I can see how lesbians would be offended by the suggestion that Althouse is one of them.

I think we should have a special support group for people like Althouse and Micheal Weiner, I mean Savage, who are obviously gay, but too tied up in the political right to be comfortable with who they really are.

You still aren't getting it. Who are you to define the sexuality of another person?

I am by no means a supporter of Althouse, I think that she is a raving lunatic, BUT why would you say that she is a lesbian? Has she announced that she is a lesbian? Are you on her list of confidantes?

You have no right to assume who or what people "really" are.

Your right, I have no right, and I should not being trying to "out" someone.

My apologies to Ann Althouse.

Thank you Sassychick and Vervain for correcting me.

Itazure, like Sassychick and Vervain already said, you can't assume you know the preferences of others. But I do think I agree with you that maybe Althouse is a tad repressed in general, though I doubt she's in any way closeted. She's obsessed with at least one of the Clinton's. She can't compete gracefully against younger competition, even if there is NO competition. And she constantly finds sexual meanings in things where there is NO intended sexual innuendo.

Seriously, what a nutjob. Carrots are to onion rings are what health care is to no care. That's the point of the commercial. I can see carrots are to penises, until carrots get crunched, but onion rings to vaginas? hell no. Althouse's interpretation does more to prove that she thinks women's sexual organs are gross than it does that the clintons are sex obsessed.
