One of them linked to an essay on my Web site, in this thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1562818/posts

I'm getting a lot of hits from there, but so far only one piece of hate mail, and it was couched in surprisingly non-hostile terms. We'll see what happens.

(The essay is about Rudi Bakhtiar, whom they all adore. It's at http://www.dvorkin.com/essays/rbair.htm.)

1. Oh my God, David...

"Nor are they likely to consider the possibility that I'm heterosexual and don't agree with their opinion of a given woman's looks. Or that, trying to be objective, I can agree that a given woman is pretty but various other things about her vastly outweigh that prettiness.

Such as the fact that she's an airhead.

:rofl: :rofl:

[DavidDvorkin]

2. I liked the sound of that word

And tried to repeat it as often as possible.

I didn't realize it would be a red flag for the wingers. A psychologist might find that interesting.

[janx]

3. Well, think about it...

even I find it interesting! What possible objection could they have to calling any woman an air head?

:rofl:

The women of Fox News have for years looked like cocktail party tramps, after all. "Conservababes" are the epitome of airhead, no? The marketing has gotten to be so bad that it is a cartoon! On some level, these freeper males must realize that.

[janx]

4. This guy might learn the difference between a pronoun

and a contraction:

" I don't know what planet your on! All I know is that Rudy is hot, your gay and a demo, which explains it all!!"

[LiberalPartisan]

5. She's very pretty....

But she's also a right-winger and a complete airhead.

Now, if you're looking for a pretty and smart female reporter, as opposed to a news reader then I offer Jennifer Eccleston.

[janx]

7. Well,

there are a lot of women men find pretty. These guys just sound desperate.

[thebigidea]

21. yeah, the Fox News Channel is known for its great reporters

reknowned. We all love it here.

[LiberalPartisan]

28. Not sure if she's with Fox anymore

I've seen her on NBC and CNN too.

[Innocent Smith]

12. my favorite

My favorite is when someone writes "Your nuts"....

...my what? :wow:

[janx]

6. Look at this notable comment from the freeper thread:

" FNC has to have a gossip type show for the female demographic. She managed to make "She who must be obeyed" a FNC fanatic"


You see? They fully expect "conservababes" to be airheads.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Gasp are you saying

That they actually prefer women who are airheads? Yeah, I suppose they do.

[janx]

9. LOOK!!

From the freeper thread:

"To: Always Right

She could make a man's stecker pick up...what a fox...for fox news!! Does anyone know what happened to Linda Vestor...another big time fox. She really had a good show at noon central time...now it has been transformed into 60 minutes of blather..although Juliet is fine eye candy..

13. They're all so literate

And deeply thoughtful.

One wonders that they can remember to breathe. Even through their mouths.

[classof56]

10. Well, to quote one of my favorite authors, Tony Hillerman,

(who's quoting his mom), "Blessed are those who expect little, for they are seldom disappointed."

Although, from my years of watching "Rumpole of the Bailey" on PBS, I seem to recall that his wife--"She who must be obeyed" was anything but an airhead!

11. Here ya go freeps... yer ideal ol lady.

[alfredo]

14. Very good. I do agree Daljit Dhaliwal is pretty.

Ignorance detracts from beauty. Sometimes the ignorance is reflected physically. Ann Coulter is a prime example.

John Lennon said, "One thing you can't hide, is when you're crippled inside."

[DavidDvorkin]

15. Daljit Dhaliwal is beautiful, intelligent, and a real journalist

That combination doesn't seem to do it for the Freepers.

I do miss the nightly ITN broadcasts on PBS. I like having the BBC news, but I wouldn't mind both.

I think Daljit D. moved to CNN International a few years ago.

[alfredo]

16. They have an International show on Sundays, am I correct?

[DavidDvorkin]

19. Don't know. I'll have to check.

I just assumed that CNN International was a different channel.

[liberalpragmatist]

20. She's on BBC Now

She serves as a US correspondent for BBC World News and lives in New York with her husband.

[DavidDvorkin]

25. Ah, a good place for her

She seems right for the BBC.

[alfredo]

23. I think they do give us an hour a week to find out what is going in

in the rest of the world.

[DanCa]

17. Cool. I got my own freeper right now to deal with :D

[DavidDvorkin]

27. Good luck!

[kohodog]

18. I love the expression "Glorious Leader"

I will now refer to our dumbass pres. as " glorious leader"

Is that from you or Orwell? Regardless, it's great!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

24. it's actually how the N. Koreans refer to their dictator "Dear Leader" etc

;)

[DavidDvorkin]

26. Right, N. Korea

It fits so well, though.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

29. oh ok, you knew that.

i wasn't sure whether you were genuinely asking where the term's from.

[thebigidea]

22. always loved Rudi's weird headbobs and tilts after every few words

I think the head movements are written into her teleprompter script.
