Blogging Ethical DilemmaIt's one of the most serious conflicts I've encountered. On one hand, there's a photo of Andrew Sullivan massaging his own ass -- kinda two-handed -- on Bill Maher. Now, I don't think this is such a big deal -- keep a camera on me long enough and you'll catch me spreading Marshmallow Fluff on my feet (it makes me feel sexy; don't judge me) -- but it is certainly embarassing for Sullivan, who deserves it. For other reasons, maybe, but this one will do. But the problem is that this photo is linked on Wonkette. Who I really don't want to give any traffic or attention to. See the problem here? This is trickier than the old "Would you assassinate Hitler as an innocent child?" hypothetical. The moral dimensions of this are just too vast to contemplate. Dilemma Solved! Well, the initial reader response was pretty cool. Seemed to be on the vibe of "It's beneath even you; don't bother." I should have remembered the Prime Directive of Blogging: Wonkette is not funny. And the corollary: As Wonkette is not funny, anything she posts is, ipso facto, not-funny. Dilemma Avoided! This guy has the pic, too. Ohhh... okay! Now that I see it on his site, it is sorta funny.

CommentsSometimes a scratch is just a scratch... let it go (the topic that is... you can do what you will with whatever you can hold; I'm not one to judge). Posted by: Ron C on November 12, 2004 10:11 PM
Isn't obvious? Just because Andrew Sullivan chooses to make an ass of himself and Wonkette chooses to make an ass of herself does not mean that you have to follow suit. Sully has made himself the butt of humor through his own writings. My vote would be for you to butt out on posting an image of Sullivan . . . well demonstrating what he is. Not that there is anything *wrong* with that, but . . . standards. (Besides, you cannot make him a bigger ass than he makes himself.) Posted by: Mark L on November 12, 2004 10:13 PM
Sometimes a scratch is just a scratch... Well, look, that's not really the question. Of course it's just a scratch, or else his butt fell asleep while sitting and he's trying to wake it up. Of course there's an innocent explanation; I'm not going to suggest it's somethign sexual or gay. It's just a little embarassing. I pick my nose, but I don't want to be photographed doing so. (Unless it was real keeper, something I really wanted a witness to.) So, you know, it's not as if I'm going to run with this. At most, I would note, "Hey, look at Sullivan copping a self-feel" or something. Posted by: ace on November 12, 2004 10:17 PM

Ace-- Damn right you kill Hitler as a child. And everyone in the room with him, Keyser Soze-style. Hell, nuke the site from orbit-- it's the only way to be sure. Oh, and shoot down Martin Sheen too, for good measure. Because if he becomes President, he'll send the missiles flying. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 12, 2004 10:26 PM
That screen grab is everywhere. I saw it on Slate a few days ago. Just say you got it from there. Posted by: Richard on November 12, 2004 10:35 PM

This begs the question. Who has the biggest penis, Did you see that skank? Manlier than Andrew too! Posted by: God Bless America on November 13, 2004 12:07 AM
If you have things UP your ass on a regular basis, it's only natural things will get itchy down their every now and then. Posted by: Dibble on November 13, 2004 09:14 AM
I don't get the obsession with Wonkette (or with ASullivan for that matter). You're right. Wonkette is not funny. Or interesting. Or clever. Or witty. Or informative. You Ace, on the other hand, are all of these things. Posted by: MD on November 14, 2004 07:42 PM

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card. Recent Comments
