My default action is to lie down and idly surf the web via my tablet. If, for instance, I have nothing active to do, and yet I am awake, then that is what I'll do.
Now and then I come across some real pearlers.
Enter Midge Decter. A somewhat older lady, for she still lives, this deliciously Bond villain named conservative is also a prolific author. It seems, for the most part, her books are anti-Feminist screeds—though I admit I am basing that solely on the titles.
Any-hoo, in addition to decrying women who wear pant suits, Midge likes to salute good American heroes. Heroes that she knows, intimately.
And the man she has chosen to laud? To gift to the world a panegyric that not only praises the man's intellect but the the fact he possesses very essence of manliness?!
It's Donald Rumsfeld! And, even more deliciously, the book was written back in 2004. Which was of course just as everything went to complete and utter shit.
Here's a taste.
'Simpering... fawning.... worshipful... grotesque... deranged... a few of
the adjectives that immediately come to mind upon finishing this book,
"Rumsfeld: A personal portrait" by Midge Decter.'
Gold. I'm half tempted to get it just to see how truly bad this book is.
Your wikfins are interesting to say the least HM.. I don't know that I would have voluntarily gone to that person's page..
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a shower after to make sure that fawning over neocons didn't become infectious ;)
It was most-hilarious. She reminded me of the Julia Roberts character from Charlie Wilson's War as well.
ReplyDeleteAlthough he's now a Senator in the US then if you ever see a cheap copy of any of Al Franken's books on the Right then it's totally worth the snaffle. He shows the media landscape on the right, a landscape that fosters and promotes outlier views like Decter, for what that landscape is; a collection of bloviating bullies who lie and then lie again and hurt not only America but the world in the process.
They're ... they're worse than the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation!
