Um….

I’m not so sure that casting the female candidate for president as a beaver is a really good strategy, Erica.

Casting the black candidate as a stallion probably not a good idea, either.

Just sayin’.

The link isn’t working :(

I think this is the article she’s referring to:

Why Am I So Afraid

3 Astraea 3.22.2008 at 9:52 pm

Thanks!

Yeah, those metaphors are.. weird when she ends with insisting we stop talking about gender and race.

“And beavers are nothing without their teeth.”
So Hillary is a vagina dentata? The whole article is, um, awkward.

5 zuzu 3.22.2008 at 10:43 pm

Link fixed.

That’s what I get for having multiple tabs open at the same time.

The beaver part was just odd, I guess I should be glad she ddin’t use a monkey for Obama.

Jeffry…
I, oddly, just had a conversation about vagina dentata last night. i was talking to this random guy at a garage sale, and he overheard something that made him as the speaker if she had teeth “down there”

and i said, “the phrase is vagina dentata”
and he said “i don’t know which is weirder; that you said it or that i knew what it was”

so, then i see the comment, and the funny comes back! and, totally, i can see some stupid newscaster saying that HRC is such a REAL woman she even has vagina dentata…

was she always this weird or did something happen after bob Dylan put her in a song? you had a 911 conspiracy-theory, something about Jewish guys liking hot black and brown women (and that was bad thing), obama as a token (thankfully she refrained from insulting donovan mcnabb), and now this.

can you kick her out of the feminist club or does she have tenure?

Wtf?

10 Red Stapler 3.23.2008 at 9:20 am

Without the awkward metaphors, that article almost made sense!

Regarding Ms. Jong, I’ve gone from disgusted to slightly worried. Seriously, she needs a check for early-onset Alzheimers.

Let’s not set the bar too high here. Seriously, what is the matter with Erica Jong these days?

13 zuzu 3.23.2008 at 11:23 am

Maybe she’s always been a flake, and nobody noticed in the 70s because there were so many other flakes.

14 matttbastard 3.23.2008 at 12:29 pm

Jesus.

It’s carrot sticks and onion rings all over again.

15 matttbastard 3.23.2008 at 12:38 pm

(By which I mean: much like everybody’s favourite tenured floor-pisser, we’d all be better off if, in the future, Erica Jong kept her id zipped up.)

Someone was drunk when they wrote that blog!!

17 Constintina 3.23.2008 at 7:51 pm

Oh good, another guerilla audition from EJ for the role of Princess of Crazytown.

It’s no “circumcision causes alcoholism and then those [insert misogynist racial slur of choice] steall all the good Jew men!”, but it’ll do.

18 GottaBeMe 3.24.2008 at 1:02 pm

God. Damn. So awful it’s funny!

19 Bitter Scribe 3.24.2008 at 5:52 pm

Erica Jong is a silly woman who says and writes silly things. She’s Camille Paglia without all the resentments.

20 wemblee 3.25.2008 at 1:41 am

Oh my God, I kept laughing and yet covering my face wondering what would happen when someone pointed this out to her. I would be so MORTIFIED that I wouldn’t know what to do!

It really is just like reading someone say, “Vagina vagina vagina GIANT COCK” over and over and over.

So let’s stop talking about race and gender and let the beaver and the stallion both serve our country–in their own inimitable ways.

What the fuck.
