Pamela Geller and the Scandalous
Bikini of Right-Wing Extremism

Posted on | August 23, 2010 | 8 Comments

Evidently taking their cue from the Washington Post, now the British Guardian has decided that the most newsworthy thing about conservative blogger Pamela Geller is that she has been seen in public in a swimsuit:

Pamela Geller is on a mission to save the free world and she’s doing it, on this occasion, in a bikini as she writhes around in the sea.
“Here I am in my chador, my burka,” Geller jokes to the camera in one of a string of video blogs campaigning against Islamic “world domination” shortly before kicking back in the waves.

The video is from August 2006 and out of all that Geller has done in the ensuing four years — including authoring The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America with her frequent collaborator, Robert Spencer — evidently nothing lends itself so easily to a feature lede as her bikini moment.

Geller laughed about this treatment when I spoke to her on the phone last week, and at her blog says, “It is comedy. It is to laugh. It is to cry.” Geller told me she was amazed at how she has been singled out as the instigator of controversy over The Lower Manhattan Islamic Cultural Center That the Associated Press Won’t Call the “Ground Zero Mosque” Anymore.

Geller insists she was just one of many involved in the opposition, and says the hundreds who turned out for a June 6 protest deserve credit for making the mosque one of the biggest political stories of the summer. Still, her TV appearances — including CNN, MSNBC and multiple appearances on Fox News — have made her the best-known face of the anti-mosque forces, which is why she’s now the subject of hostile coverage.

Latest example: Max Blumenthal is blaming Geller for an “incident” at a Sunday rally she had nothing to do with. Her rally will be Sept. 11.

    If WAPO Dr. Krauthammer were wise he would not pretend his association with Journo-listic Liberal Fascists gives him credibility.

    Wait.. There’s Scandal and Outrage at Pam Gellar in a bikini?

    It’s over four years old. I have underwear older than that.

    A suggested gift for your kids:

    Be sure to play the video!

    Ok, but now if your kids or relatives want to buy some, wonder how to get the underpants on the squirrels once they arrive?

    I hope this isn’t a scam just to sell out of date little person underwear. If it turns out to be so–i understand you have at least one in your closet–you could be duped Dave C!

    You see, I thought that squirrels were already dressed in fur coats. They, like all the well dressed mammals, are perfectly decent just as long as they don’t leave their fly open…which I realize, they sometimes do and that is just so embarrassing…

    but what are you going to do?

    There is no way you’re going to teach any of them, except maybe the racoons, to operate a zipper.

    PS. Maybe Asian squirrels are more intelligent than the US variety (they are certainly more polite, that’s for sure), but all you have to do is put the underpants under the tree where the squirrels live with a little note saying, “Here’s a place to put your nuts,” and they’ll get the idea*.

    In fact, I’m beginning to see more and more of the local squirrels here storing their nuts in this manner.

    Also, the underpants helps to keep the squirrels’ nuts real warm and toasty.

    Almost as warm and toasty as chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

    I love happy squirrels.

    *The US squirrels would never get the idea. They can barely read well enough to understand the ad.

    So dumb are they that when I printed copies of the ad and put the pages at all the nearby squirrel feeders three summers ago, they used the paper to wrap their nuts before burying them in the sand.

    Well, I know that doesn’t sound so very dumb, but they buried their nuts too deep and all you can see above the ground is their little heads…they can’t get back out!
