A Cliché of a Stereotype: Kathy Griffin and the Pathetic Fate of Liberal Cat Ladies

Posted on | November 8, 2022 | 1 Comment

Which comes first, the liberal politics or the envious bitterness?

It’s one of those chicken-or-the-egg questions of causality that psychologists should spend more time researching. It’s not that all liberal women are doomed to be lonely and unpopular spinsters, nor even that every cat lady is a Democratic voter. Yet there is an observable correlation of traits that cannot be dismissed as a random coincidence.

If a woman is both physically attractive and emotionally capable of forming durable relationships, it is likely that she will get married while still young, and remain married. Even if such a woman should experience a breakup — because anybody can be afflicted with bad luck — she should not have a problem finding another partner and, having learned the lessons from her earlier misfortune, will try to avoid whatever mistakes caused her previous breakup. A certain level of humility is required to be able to learn from your mistakes, however, and one notices that people who can’t ever seem to make relationships work are reluctant to admit that they are the problem. No, no, no — they’re always the victim, and somebody else is always to blame. And the tendency to seek scapegoats is, I would argue, more aligned with the liberal worldview.

The Victimhood Mentality is just not conducive to happiness.

Kathy Griffin was past 40 before she married for the first time, but was divorced five years later. She then bounced around for about 10 years before ending up with another guy whom she married in 2020. She is, needless to say, childless. One may attribute Griffin’s fate to mere bad luck, but is it really just a coincidence that she is also a particularly obnoxious liberal? Or is “the personal the political,” as feminists tell us?

Probably not just a coincidence, I’d say. Kathy Griffin is not just a liberal, but a stereotype of everything that makes liberals unpopular. And obviously, though she was typical in the way she succumbed to Trump Derangement Syndrome, it wasn’t just about Trump.

Griffin is an insecure popularity-seeker, and will therefore reflexively jump onto any passing liberal bandwagon in a pathetic effort to grab the spotlight as The Most Attention-Worthy Liberal Celebrity:

Comedienne Kathy Griffin earned herself a Twitter suspension on Sunday when she impersonated billionaire Elon Musk as a stunt for Democrats.
Changing her profile name while employing Musk’s exact profile picture, Kathy Griffin then asked her thousands of followers to “Vote Blue” in the coming midterm election.
“Hey complainers and activists. Want to see real activism? Watch this. RT w #VoteBlue,” Griffin tweeted.
Twitter suspended Griffin’s account within an hour.
Though Elon Musk did not address the Griffin situation directly, he issued a clarification that Twitter will immediately suspend impersonating accounts that do not specifically label themselves parody.

She desperately wants to be relevant, see? And if that kind of relevance is all you’ve got to live for, your life must be pretty empty.

My wife likes to relax in the evening by binge-watching reruns of Seinfeld, and it just so happened that one of the episodes she was watching Monday was “The Cartoon” (Season 9, Episode 13) with Kathy Griffin guest starring as Sally Weaver, the former college roommate of George’s deceased fiancée Susan. One of the subplots of the episode is about Kramer’s inability to keep his mouth shut. The show begins with Jerry and Kramer walking down the street:

Jerry: Oh, no, it’s Sally Weaver. . . . She moved to New York a few years ago. She’s trying to become an actress. . . . Untalented. She’s always inviting me to see her in some bad play in a tiny room without ventilation. . . . She should just give up. . . .
Sally: I’m on my way to an audition. Still waiting for that big break.
Kramer: Why don’t you just give up?
Jerry: Kramer!
Kramer: At least that’s what Jerry says. Now face it, if it hasn’t happened, it’s not gonna happen.

Later in the show, Kramer has been checking Jerry’s phone answering machine messages and says Sally called to say that she’s quitting show business because Jerry “ruined her life.”

Jerry: What? You’re the one who ruined her life.
Kramer: Well, that’s not how she remembers it.
Jerry: Well, I got to talk her out of this.
Kramer: I thought you said she stinks?
Jerry: She does stink and she should quit. But I don’t want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route — years of rejections and failures till she’s spit out the bottom of the porn industry.

“She does stink and she should quit.”

As a summary of Kathy Griffin’s career, that’s perfect.

The ‘Blood Moon’ Eclipse and Other Cosmic Portents of a ‘Red Wave’

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.

Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… MASS HYSTERIA!

Someone could have added, “Democrats losing in New York!”

The polls in the contest between Gov. Kathy Hochul and her GOP challenger Lee Zeldin are all over the map, and either way it turns out, some pollsters are going to have a lot of explaining to do. But the fact that there’s even a possibility of a Republican winning in a state that Joe Biden carried by a 23-point margin gives you an idea of how bad things are looking for Democrats on the eve of Election Day.

There will be a lunar eclipse in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday and, according to my source for all things space-related, John Hoge: “This is the first Election Day total eclipse in the history of the United States.” Make of this celestial omen what you will; my job is merely to report the facts, not to interpret the cosmic significance of such things. Sunday morning, I cranked out a 1,500-word column for The American Spectator, which got linked today by Instapundit, with this excerpt:

“Probably the smartest thing to do on election night would be to take a nap early in the evening — when the chatter on TV will be mostly speculation — and set your alarm for 11 p.m. or midnight, by which time 90 percent or more of the precincts will have reported in most Eastern states. The earliest tip-off to which way the night is heading will be the Senate race in New Hampshire. If Bolduc can score an upset there, it would portend a massive ‘Red Wave,’ in which Republicans win 240-plus House seats and 52 or more Senate seats. If, on the other hand, Hassan manages to hang on in New Hampshire, the GOP will likely win between 225 and 235 House seats and fall a couple seats short of a Senate majority.”

The meaning of this four-sentence passage seemed clear enough to me, but as I skimmed the comments at Instapundit, a couple of things became obvious: (a) most of the people commenting hadn’t bothered to click the link and read the whole column, and (b) some of the commenters had serious deficiencies in reading comprehension.

If you read the entire column — as I certainly hope you will — my main point is that it will be very late on Election Night, probably past midnight on the East Coast, before we know whether this is a true “Red Wave” election, with Republicans winning even in long-shot races. For most of Tuesday evening, we’ll watch the cable-TV personalities pointing at maps and declaring that the key Senate races are “too close to call.”

As I further explain in the column, practically everybody concedes that Republicans will win a House majority, because they only need to flip six seats to take the gavel away from Nancy Pelosi. So the two real questions — the source of deep mystery to serious political observers — are how big of a GOP majority Kevin McCarthy will get in the House, and whether Republicans can score a net gain of Senate seats, to give Mitch McConnell a majority there, as well. These two questions are linked, because if it is truly a “wave” election for Republicans, it can be expected that they will win majorities in both chambers. On the House side, McCarthy’s GOP currently holds 212 seats, and needs 218 to claim the majority. Getting to 225 House seats (a net gain of 13) seems to be the low-end estimate of how Republicans will fare on Tuesday, whereas a true “Red Wave” would mean the GOP scoring a net gain of 25 or more House seats.

The reason I chose the New Hampshire Senate race as the bellwether is because (a) the polls close there at 7 p.m. Eastern, and (b) unlike some other states with key Senate races, New Hampshire doesn’t have the kind of blatant corruption and/or incompetence that causes delays in reporting election results. Like, if you’re on a pins and needles about the Pennsylvania results, you’re going to be in hours of agony Tuesday waiting for them to count votes in Philadelphia. Ohio? No early decision there — Cuyahoga County will still be counting votes past midnight. Georgia? Fulton County won’t finish counting before Wednesday afternoon, if that soon. But there’s nothing like Atlanta or Cleveland in New Hampshire. Most of the state is still fairly rural, and even in Manchester, they’re usually pretty quick with the vote-counting. So by 10 p.m. ET, we can expect that 90% of the vote will be counted in New Hampshire, which will give us a good idea of whether Dan Bolduc has pulled an upset victory — which, I believe, will be the biggest early indicator of whether this is going to be a real “Red Wave” year.

Some of the commenters at Instapundit, however, didn’t seem to get my point, which either means (a) they’re dumb or (b) I’m wrong.

But maybe it’s just too close to call . . .

Gosh, Some People Seem Awfully Worried About Election ‘Misinformation’ Now

Posted on | November 5, 2022 | Comments Off on Gosh, Some People Seem Awfully Worried About Election ‘Misinformation’ Now

The “cabal” that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us — because let’s face it, we’re talking about the same people — apparently feel that their power to control upcoming events has been impaired.

Twitter layoffs gutted
election information teams
days before midterms
— Washington Post

What Twitter’s Shake-Up Could Mean:
Midterm Misinformation Run Amok
— New York times

Days before the midterms,
Twitter lays off employees
who fight misinformation
— NBC News

By “fight misinformation,” of course they mean, silence Republicans. And the fact that all these alleged “news” organizations are singing in unison from the same hymnal tells you an awful lot about how the media see their jobs nowadays, i.e., as propagandists for the Democratic Party.

What explains their fanatical obsession with controlling every channel of communication, punishing anyone who dissents from the approved narrative? Chris Queen at PJM gets close to it here:

To the left, when conservatives talk about free speech, it naturally means that we want racists to be able to spew their hatred anywhere and everywhere.
The left doesn’t understand why we on the right talk about free speech as much as we do. The reason they don’t understand is that they’re in control of most of the gatekeeping mechanisms of speech. The left controls much of the media, the vast majority of cultural institutions, and the lion’s share of academia, so its voices are amplified, while conservatives find themselves shut out.
People like Trevor Noah don’t have to worry about being canceled over their beliefs. Conservatives face losing their social media presence and sometimes even their jobs . . .
Leftists like Noah can’t grasp the notion that there are valid and salient perspectives that differ from The Narrative™ that the left pushes on everyone through all the cultural channels they control. The left doesn’t even listen to the concerns of those with whom they disagree, which is a huge reason why they pivot straight to racism and extremism when conservatives fret over freedom of speech.

Yes, but how did Democrats obtain control of all these institutions to begin with? By systematically purging their chosen enemies. While liberal bias in media, academia and other institutions has existed for many decades, it was in the late 1980s, after Baby Boomer radicals had spent some 20 years advancing to become tenured faculty, deans, senior editors and producers, that these institutions started imposing ideological conformity and excluding dissenters from their ranks. This was what gave rise to the earliest expressions of concern about “political correctness” on college campuses in the 1990s. Turning academia into an echo chamber, where only left-wing ideas could be expressed, was a precursor to doing the same in the world of journalism. Young people who attend universities where disagreement is forbidden as “hate speech” are not likely to become free thinkers after graduating and getting hired at, e.g., NBC News. You can be sure, of course,that if any young person expressed GOP sympathies while attending college, they could never be hired by NBC News, which employs only Democratic Party loyalists.

People who have spent so many years living inside an atmosphere of political conformity — really, have you tried watching CNN or MSNBC lately? — are simply unable to cope with diverging opinions, and are genuinely frightened by the prospect that somewhere, somebody might be saying something at odds with the Officially Approved Beliefs.

The media have become an army of Torquemadas, hunting heretics, and they absolutely can’t fathom why we don’t like them.

Joe Biden and the ‘Path to Chaos’ (He’s Living Underground Like a Wild Potato)

Posted on | November 5, 2022 | 2 Comments

No sooner had I finished posting about election denier Stacey Abrams, who falsely accused Republicans of stealing the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election (which she lost by a 55,000-vote margin), than I glanced at the transcript of Joe Biden’s speech from Wednesday night:

This is also the first election since the events of January 6th, when the armed angry mob stormed the US Capitol. I wish I could say the assault on our democracy ended that day, but I cannot. As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America, for governor, congress, attorney general, secretary of state, who won’t commit, that will not commit to accepting the results of the election that they’re running in. This is a path to chaos in America. It’s unprecedented. It’s unlawful, and it’s un-American.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEVER ACCEPTED THE RESULTS OF HILLARY CLINTON’S DEFEAT IN 2016, WHICH IS HOW WE GOT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU BRAIN-ADDLED OLD FOOL!

“You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.”
— Hillary Clinton, May 4, 2019

It would be wrong to accuse Biden of having “forgotten” how Hillary’s campaign deliberately smeared Donald Trump with the “Russian collusion” hoax, which was the basis of her subsequent claim that Trump didn’t really win the election because Putin somehow “interfered” in the results. It would be wrong to accuse Biden of forgetting this, I say, because Biden is suffering from such debilitating cognitive dysfunction that he can barely read the words that his script writers put on the teleprompter, and I don’t think he was sufficiently sentient in 2016 that he was even aware of what was happening. So, no, he didn’t “forget.” He’s living in his own private Idaho, underground like a wild potato.

The “events of January 6th” were a direct result of the Democratic Party’s four-year-long attack on the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency. If the rioters at the Capitol knew nothing else, they knew that the Clinton campaign had used the bogus Steele dossier to convince the FBI to open an investigation of Trump that continued for months after the election, including surveillance of Trump campaign staff. This led to the firing of the FBI director and the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to lead another investigation that continued for 22 months, generating endless cable-TV news talk of how the walls were closing in, but ultimately admitting there was no evidence of the endlessly hyped claims of “Russian collusion.” And that was not a “path to chaos”?

Charles Cooke asks the question, “Is Biden Senile or a Pathological Liar?” To which Ed Driscoll responds, “Embrace the healing power of ‘and,’” but beyond the dishonesty and senility of Biden, we have to deal with the fact that somebody on the White House wrote that speech, which means that Joe is not the only one living in this delusional private Idaho.

Craziness inspires more craziness, and the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who thought they could do something — what? — inside the Capitol that would prevent Congress from certifying the Electoral College results were, in a way, a consequence of five years of craziness from Trump’s enemies. Has everyone forgotten how the #Resistance wrecked D.C. during Trump’s inauguration? Talk about a “path to chaos”!

More than anything, I’m offended by the effrontery of Democrats in accusing Trump supporters of “unprecedented . . . unlawful . . . un-American” activities, when I think back on the summer of destructive violence Democrats applauded in 2020 as “mostly peaceful protests.” Why were they protesting? Because a suspect died in police custody in Minneapolis? How does that justify tearing down statues and looting stores and all the other nationwide mayhem that began in May 2020?

No intelligent person expects logic from Democrats, whether it’s the mobs of deranged Democratic voters who saw George Floyd’s death as an excuse to riot or the Democrats who write Biden’s speeches.

Fiery But Mostly Peaceful: The 2020 Riots and the Gaslighting of America is a book worth reading, for anyone who may have forgotten the senseless violence that Democrats fomented in 2020. Certainly I have not forgotten, which is why I was so insulted when I read Biden’s assertion that it is Republicans who are leading America into “chaos” that is “unprecedented.” Just as Democrats expect us to forget how they cried “stolen election” when Trump won in 2016, likewise they expect us to forget the deadly chaos they unleashed in America’s streets two years ago.

We are expected to forget how Democrats stoked paranoia and racial hatred, how Kamala Harris encouraged donations to bail out the rioters, and yet for Democrats, “the events of January 6th” are an eternal grievance, the basis of their assertion that “democracy is on the ballot.”

University of Wisconsin Law School professor emerita Ann Althouse undertook a thorough fisking of Biden’s Wednesday speech:

“We the people must decide whether we’re going to sustain a republic where reality is accepted, the law is obeyed, and your vote is truly sacred.” . . .

I’m reading the transcript. He’s talking about the midterm elections and he’s saying the main issue is — not the economy, not crime, not abortion — but democracy itself, as if we can vote for democracy.
We participate in democracy when we vote. But how do you vote for democracy? Is he trying to say a vote for a Democrat is a vote for democracy, and a vote for a Republican is a vote against democracy?

We the people must decide whether the rule of law will prevail or whether we will allow the dark forces and thirst for power put ahead of the principles that have long guided us.

Is that on the ballot? I’d like “a republic where reality is accepted,” but my President is raving about “dark forces.” I presume he means that anyone who questions the accuracy of the voting procedures and vote counts is failing to “accept reality” and maybe also that people who think like that are part of the “dark forces.” . . .
Biden proceeds to blame Trump: “American democracy is under attack because the defeated former president of the United States refused to accept the results of the 2020 election.” . . .
If Biden really wanted to call us to sanity and calm reasonableness, would he speak to us this way?

With democracy on the ballot, we have to remember these first principles. Democracy means the rule of the people…. Autocracy… means the rule of one, one person, one interest, one ideology, one party…. Make no mistake, democracy is on the ballot for all of us…. Because democracy is on the ballot….

He keeps saying it, “democracy is on the ballot.” It’s not true, but I guess his people liked the sound of it. It would make more sense to say “democracy is the ballot.”
“Democracy is on the ballot” is a way to say — without saying — that you ought to vote for the Democratic Party candidate. . . . .
And don’t be violent:

There’s an alarming rise in the number of our people in this country condoning political violence, or simply remain silent because silence is complicity…. All of us who reject political violence and voter intimidation, and I believe that’s the overwhelming majority of the American people, all of us must unite to make it absolutely clear that violence and intimidation have no place in America…..

I agree, of course. But questioning the announced results of elections is not violence. It is part of freedom of speech, and active, non-violent protesting is part of the American tradition. I lived through an especially vivid example of that here in Wisconsin in 2011, when protesters stormed the state capitol and chanted “This is what democracy looks like.” Democracy wasn’t just the election and the announced legal result, it was all the pressure the losing side could exert.

You can read the whole thing. Althouse witnessed the 2011 storming of the Wisconsin capitol in protest of . . . balancing the state budget?

The Democrats were rioting in Wisconsin because a Republican, Scott Walker, had been elected governor in the 2010 election, which also put Republicans in charge of the state legislature, which then proposed budget-cutting measures opposed by the unions representing government employees. The unions subsequently tried and failed to recall Walker, who served two successful terms as governor.

Government employee unions are a conspiracy against taxpayers, and when the people of Wisconsin elected Walker to fight these unions, Democrats refused to accept the legislative consequences.

Ann Althouse has not forgotten the unprecedented chaos that Democrats unleashed on Wisconsin in 2011. When Biden says “democracy is on the ballot,” what he’s really defending is not democracy, but bureaucracy — the rule of unelected government employees, particularly those in the national security apparatus (i.e., “The Deep State”) who spent the entirety of the Trump administration undermining the president’s authority to implement policy changes. Well, elections still have consequences, and when Republicans win control of Congress next week, they’ve already teed up an investigation of the FBI’s role in this conspiracy.

Regaining a congressional majority for the first time since 2018, Republicans will find lots of things to investigate in the Biden administration, and this is what Democrats fear most, that the American people will discover just what sort of corruption has taken hold since Biden won the 2020 election — allegedly, I hasten to add.
