Space Retard George Takei Has More Stupid Shit to Say

Free Beacon has the story.

AllahPundit calls out the venomous snakes.

I think it was Dan McLaughlin of Red State who tweeted after last week’s SSM decision was released, "Now the contest begins to see who’ll be the angriest winner." His point was that, for a movement that’s been unstoppable culturally over the past 10 years, there’s a curiously strong impulse towards nastiness in some lefties’ reaction to each new victory. With this remark from George Takei, I think it’s safe to say the contest is now over....

Takei not only willfully misunderstands [Clarence Thomas'] intentions but slides easily into a nasty racial crack about Thomas’s black authenticity. He'll pay no price for it, needless to say. If anything, this is high-five material for jerkoffs who’ve already moved past last week's landmark ruling and are busily gaming out how to bust tax exemptions for Catholic soup kitchens or whatever.

Hit the link for Allah's explanation as to the "willful misunderstanding" of Thomas' point.

But is it willful? George Takei has alway struck me as a stupid man. He was always a terrible actor -- he could barely convince me he was really pushing up a lever when he was actually pushing up a lever on Star Trek -- and his major claim to fame is being an idiot people make fun of to his face, without him actually knowing they're making fun of him.

What I mean is the whole "Oh my" catchphrase. Sitcom characters have catchphrases; real people oughtn't. But people that was funny -- and not in a laughing-with-you way -- on Stern 15 years ago, and this moron has been dining out on that for a decade and a half.

One of my favorite interviews on Stern was with William Shatner, who tried to explain why Sulu hated him. Sulu's -- let's call him Sulu; let's not pretend we know this failed actor from anything other than pushing some buttons on Star Trek -- main beef with Shatner was that Shatner thought he was the star of Star Trek, well, him and Nimoy and Kelley, and to a lesser extent Doohan.

Which... well, Shatner was embarrassed at trying to defend himself against this charge, but ultimately his defense really consisted of: Well yes, Idiot, in fact I was the star.

The other thing Shatner talked about is how Sulu was always angry that Sulu was not promoted to Captain (until the last Star Trek movie). Sulu wanted to be promoted to captain ages ago. He wanted his own command.

Shatner tried to put this delicately to Stern: Did Sulu not understand that if he got his own command, on his own ship, he was off the show and out of the movies?

Jay Leno had a great joke that in Japan, Star Trek is called Sulu: Master of Navigation.

But this braying jackass really did think that if Sulu got promoted, somehow, there would in fact be a new movie franchise called Sulu: That Guy Who Used to Sit Next to Checkov.

Or maybe he didn't even think that. Maybe he just thought he would be in every Star Trek movie, discussing tactics with Kirk as an equal.

Who knows what he thought? He was a terrible actor 50 years ago who, as far as I can tell, had steady (but minor) work for two and a half years, then was brought back to appear briefly in movies for reasons of nostalgia.

He's a loser, and a failure, and like most failures and losers, a venomous, angry person.
