Althouse’s Clinton obsession.

By Nico Pitney on Jun 19th, 2007 at 10:13 pm

Althouse’s Clinton obsession.

Conservative law professor and blogger Ann Althouse last year raised a storm with a post titled, “Let’s take a look at those breasts,” attacking Feministing’s Jessica Valenti for “wear[ing] a tight knit top that draws attention to her breasts” in a photograph with President Clinton. Now, Althouse has turned her analytical powers to a video featuring Bill and Hillary Clinton doing a spoof of the final episode of the Sopranos:

Bill says “No onion rings?” and Hillary responds “I’m looking out for ya.” Now, the script says onion rings, because that’s what the Sopranos were eating in that final scene, but I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O” of an onion ring is a vagina symbol.

Althouse’s students at the University of Wisconsin must feel so proud.

    We’re going to need an awfully big institution to hold all these people.


  2. PRIMVS INTER PARES says:

    I don’t disagree at all.

    You know, I’ve heard that men think about greasy onion-rings every 7 seconds.


  3. Zooey says:

    I’m so sorry Ann Althouse’s vagina looks like an “O.”

    Tragic…..


  4. jeremy says:

    With this false logic, the ‘“O” of an onion ring is a vagina symbol’” This is silly…one could say that the carrot looks like a cigar..Both are not the case…… Or even better…the carrot on at stick in front of Bill to suggest that the candidacy is for him as well. Or, the obvious, the fat joke!! Gwad where do these people with PhD’s get accredited?


  5. TripMaster Monkey says:

    but I doubt if any blogger will disagree with my assertion that, coming from Bill Clinton, the “O” of an onion ring is a vagina symbol.

    The sexual tension is unbearable.

    Ann, don’t suffer in silence…let Bubba know how you burn for him day and night!

    How pathetic.


  6. Jay Randal says:

    LOL and an onion ring looks like a cock ring to GOPer males.


  7. shane says:

    Well Ms. Althouse, Dr. Freud would just have a picnic with princess. Mkay, byebye.

    Regent University – America’s Preeminent Christian University!!! Where else??? (THAT one was waaayy too easy to answer!)


  9. Me So Horny says:

    When I watched that Clinton Soprano’s spoof video, I immediately ran over to Burger King and got two extra large orders of onion rings.


  10. SKdeA says:

    Ann’s vagina smells like onions? She really needs to see a doctor.


  11. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Zooey sez:

    I’m so sorry Ann Althouse’s vagina looks like an “O.”

    Tragic…..

    ROTFL!

    OMG…I actually laughed out loud at that, and then had to explain to my wife what was so funny. ^_^

    Well done, Zooey.

    Actually — How pathological.

    That woman is nuts.


  14. RazndyR says:

    Maybe she thinks that the onion ring is a vaginal symbol because hers has a crusty brown coating.


  15. shane says:

    Apparently this woman has spent a lot more time looking at vaginas than the average woman. If she’s not a gynecologist, well I’m just saying …


  16. Lesly says:

    Yes, it’s the “O” of the same book. Ooh la la! ;-)

    Joker, you blue your wad (sorry folks) on the RNC email thread. Nobody’s as crazy as you’re acting so I have to assume you’re just a troll trying to distract through, well, insanity.

    Please, don’t go away mad (no pun intended), just go away.

    Sure, now he’ll come back as The Penguin.


  27. Jackie says:

    Nice remake from a Christian Republican. Are all the Christian right people really dirty and satan worshipers. What woman with respect would even think of that. This lady needs a man or a sex life because she can’t just write stuff and hope. She should take out a want ad or something. I guess this is what Republicans want children to understand and talk about.
    Now I’ve seen kids ask their parents for onion rings but I didn’t hear anyone before use it in a sexual way. Why are all these woman hot for Bill Clinton, he’s ok but are Republican woman that desperate for a man.


  28. david mecha says:

    Actually, coming from Bill Clinton,
    it would be more symbolic of lazy smoke rings
    blown (oops) from a fine cigar.

  33. Zooey says:

    We TP girls really ought to chip in and send poor Mizz Althouse a card — and maybe the name of a doctor.


  34. Eric the Blue says:

    I only hope the the good professor is better at law that psychiatry. Sometimes onion rings are just onion rings.


  35. muckdog says:

    Celine Dion also sung the theme to the Titanic.

    Yeah, nice choice.

    LMAO


  36. Photon Entanglement says:

    Althouse is surely not philosophical by any means.

    Newt likes Onion Rings too!
    Rudy wears Onion ring garments!
    Foley thinks an Onion Ring is a 16 year old butt grommet!
    Turdblossom prefers to be called chocolate starfish!
    And Gannon sells onion rings!


  37. Devil's Advocate says:

    Althouse is an imbecile. She is a walking advertisement for the suppression of the tenure system.

    That unhinged woman teaches law at the University of Wisconsin? Does the university not have by-laws about professors being unable to fulfill their tasks because of insanity?


  38. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Ewwwww… okay, NOW we’re even!


  39. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Hmmm, makes me wonder what the whole “Blue State-Red State” thing is really about???

    dbadass,

    You’ve gotta read the whole thread. :D


  126. Zooey says:

    Nevermind dbadass, I see you’re up to speed.

    Exellent….. :D

    Yup, hence the silliness (well, mine and Wayne’s anyway :-p) Which means I should be heading for bed soon. So, as Krusty’s tombstone says, “See ya real soon, kids!”

    Goodnight, dbadass!

    Ann certainly doesn’t know she has a clit! That’s her problem!

    Heh. They’re not good for us anyway. :D

    SKdeA, how come you always seem to join in just as Wayne and I have to leave? :-(

    Stop by Wayne’s blog, he’s got another song parody for your enjoyment.


  133. Madison Guy says:

    In addition to the Non Sequitur Mchine with the Freudian Fixations, we have another nutty professor here in Madison: Reid Bryson is 87 and helped lay the groundwork for modern theories of global warming. Years ago, I had him as a professor, and he was known as a brilliant scientist and a wonderful teacher. He was a poet of climate, a lyricist of weather, a mesmerizing lecturer about climate’s impact on humans and vice versa. Now he bad-mouths Al Gore and his skeptical statements are widely quoted by the know-nothing right. What happened? The University of Wisconsin emeritus prof outlived his expertise and found himself stranded on the far side of a paradigm shift.

    Given Reid Bryson’s past achievements, we can probably cut him some slack, since he is 87 years old. Ann Althouse is not.

    Feminist Shaming Language.

    Wow, what a surprise.


  135. smafdy says:

    I’m surprised that after all of thes posts, no one got it!

    Think about it like this:

    Onion rings………okay, now……….waiiiiit………here it comes……….

    Vagina!

    Get it?


  136. dbadass says:

    If they were getting it, they (read I/you) wouldn’t be reading all the posts!


  137. Gregor Samsa says:

    Yeah, Althouse is yet another conservative twit with unhealthy obsessions involving human body parts, bodily functions, and -obviously – sex.

    Of course, they will deny having any such obsession even as they write, perorate, and pontificate on the subject.

    Althouse needs some serious professional help (the letter “O” is a vagina symbol!?. WTF?!?)


  138. Devil's Advocate says:

    Ann Althouse is a complete idiot. Why the University of Wisconsin keeps such an imbecile on the faculty is unknown. Maybe she has tenure (Pity her students). Maybe the University is afraid to fire her because she would invoke discrimination.

    In any event, the woman is not very bright and, worse, she seems to be unhinged mentally and to be an alcoholic. Why law school students even show up in her classes is a mistery.

    I’m a West Coast girl! And a lot of the time, i get home late from gigs. I also feel a little left out when al the fun is over by the time I check in!
    Went to Wayne’s BTW, it’s looking good!

    She wasn’t inviting you, troll.


  142. SKdeA says:

    Sorry dbadass, I mistook your handle for a troll that has been bothering me here and elsewhere lately… I have an appointment at the optometrists tomorrow and it ain’t a moment too soon!


  143. SKdeA says:

    But you have to admit, you were being kind of rude to Jane…


  144. Tundra says:

    Wow,

    This whole post makes me feel dirty.

    I kinda like it *blush*

    Never knew you were an onion ring kind of guy…

    I love them I gotta say. Sometimes they are hard to get, but if you know the right places, your set. You don’t want to go to a place that’s too classy cause the ones there are way overpriced and not worth it. You also don’t want the fast food variety (If your in a pinch they are ok) but the taste leaves a bit to be desired. The best place I found was this little bar by the house. Always fresh and you can do carryout, so you can take them home and eat them in front of the TV.


  147. Sven says:

    You think her comments are bad? Just try reading the bilge Maureen Dowd dumps into the New York Times every few days.

    Dowd is obsessed with the Clintons and their marriage and is clearly doing her best to sabotage Hilllary–as well as Obama, and Edwards (it’s a trifecta). She needs therapy. Her latest is particularly noisome:

  148. dithered says:

    Now I’m even more certain that I’m gay. It never occurred to me that onion rings had a symbolic vaginal context. Mothers, don’t let your children eat french fries.


  149. barrelhse says:

    I’m gettin’ a large order of rings, then lick ‘em til they cum.


  150. SquarePeg says:

    Oh. My. God.

    Talk about projection. Would she like a visit from Bill?

    Lordy, Lordy, please help those students whose minds she is shaping.

    Oh. My. God.


  151. SquarePeg says:

    Symbolism, who wouldn’t thought it:

    Jerry Falwell: Teletubbie with thing on head = gay.

    Althouse: Onion ring = vagina.

    Now, all we need is an interpretation of the symbolism for George Bush!


  152. heyzeus says:

    As she is now a resident of Wisconsin, I’m wondering if Ann has any views on the sexual connotations of deep fried cheese curds.


  153. heyzeus says:

    (Curd Blossoms?)


  154. No Pardon for Treason. says:

    I have friends who attended UW Law School and took classes with Prof. Althouse. She is a hack of a professor who “taught” Constitutional law by reading problem sets out of the textbook. No other dialogue between her and the students. A weak legal mind who is living off the teat of the Wisconsin taxpayers.


  155. john says:

    diodorus siculus
    made himself ridiculus
    he thought a thimble
    was a phallic symbol

    (i think x.j. kennedy wrote that)


  156. Candyce says:

    I must be totally naive or totally repressed. I have never associated onion rings with vagina. In fact, onion rings are my favorite side when I give in to the urge to feed my need for something bad to eat. Does this mean I am a lesbian?


  157. Sharon says:

    No Candyce, your probably a closet vegan…Blessings

    Damn! I thought I was the only dbadass. Apparently there is one awake at 3:02 am. I’ll bet I’m a bigger badass than you. Wanna find out?

    No problem as the invite must have been for the weaker version of “dbadass”.

  161. angryvietnamvet says:

    Funny, onion rings always remind me of j.c. on the cross…I know, its all very sexual, but I must confess…maybe jerry fellatiowell can cure me from his perch in onionville, worstcuntsis


  162. angryvietnamvet says:

    my previous post was just to demonstrate that i canbe as crazy as any old law professor in the hinterlands…


  163. Denis Diderot says:

    This from a law professor who wrote a law review article entitled “Standing in Fuzzy Slippers.” (Full Disclosure: I graduated from University of Wisconsin law school, and Prof. Althouse was near uniformly considered something of an intellectual light-weight.) On the other hand, I have enjoyed Althouse’s blogging about American Idol, a topic that fits her intellectual skills.

    Actually, I welcome anyone to come read my blog and leave comments, provided you want to be serious. Not only is it there for your mild amusement, but I like to hone my debating skills by trying to refute the other side’s arguments on the serious stuff. If someone seriously believes I’m mistaken about something, by all means, say so and why. If I find that I’m wrong, then I’ll have to reconsider my views. Which shows I’m a liberal.

    And you are always welcome to come visit, SKdeA. Now that I’m back to regular blogging, the muse has been hitting me again.


  165. Tom says:

    I am, or to be correct, was, one of Ann Althouse’s students 20 odd years ago.

    Ann Althouse a conservative?

    An iconoclast, yes; conservative, no.

    And lest any seek to right me off as a light weight, I claim the accepted elitist badges of status: Law Review and top 10%.

    You guys are outta your league.


  166. barrelhse says:

  167. No Pardon for Treason. says:

    #167: 20 years ago? How about a recent one: I was a law student at UW just two years ago. Althouse is a professor to be avoided. As I stated earlier, her method of “teaching” is to read questions out of the text.

    Her skills are best used watching American Idol.

    She’s yet another hypocritical Conservative who lives off the backs of the taxpayers (UW is a public university).


  168. Jane E. Schneider says:

    Completely OT: Tundra, if you’re out there, I’m a little more awake now.


  169. Tom says:

    #169. 20 years ago Ann Althouse was a dynamo – entertaining, thought provoking and insightful all at once.

    If she is indeed just marking time now, that is truly unfortunate.
