| "GOP Talking Points Memo:" The Washington Post Stonewalls Rather Pathetically »
April 05, 2005
The Judicial System Gets One RightThe Picture: The Caption: Desiree Goodwin leaves federal court in Boston, Monday, April 4, 2005. A federal court jury on Monday found that Harvard University did not discriminate against Goodwin, a library assistant who claimed her repeated bids for promotion were rejected by school officials because they saw her as 'just a pretty girl.' (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) -- from AP, via Yahoo [Emphasis added] Hmmmm... they rejected her claims that she had been denied promotions simply because employers saw her as "just a pretty girl." The jury also found against her on several other grounds. To wit, that she had not been discriminated against because her employers... (a) saw her as "just an electric toothbrush;" (b) viewed her "just a restored P-51 Mustang fighter;" (c) regarded her as "just a 600 square foot fourth-floor walk-up on East 79th street;" or even (d) judged her as "just a snowtrooper taking part in the famed battle of Hoth." A lot of people go through life with the vague suspicion that they are either average-looking or slightly unappealing. It's not too many people who have the luck of getting a court decree stating that fact for the official record. Thanks to LauraW. LauraW Update: She brings da funny to her own tip-- I feel bad for her. I was once denied a promotion for being too damned beautiful. Don't have to explain it to me, sister. I been there. Ohhh, I been there. I live there, as a matter of fact. Now I Get It: She's a Scorcher Update: Joe Mama, if that is his real name, suggests that this picture suggests better why she might have thought people thought of her only as "just a pretty girl." posted by Hoke at 02:53 PM
CommentsUmmm... it's a P-51 Mustang. The P-59 was called the Airacomet and was the U.S.' 1st Jet-powered fighter. Posted by: johnd01 on April 5, 2005 02:58 PM
Damn, I hate when Hoke screws up his facts like that. Posted by: Smitty on April 5, 2005 03:00 PM
If that's all you have to look like at Harvard for your boss to have hearts shoot out the top of his head and his tongue loll on the ground, I'm glad I attended Rocko's School for Bartenders instead. Besides, everyone knows male librarians are all gay. Posted by: Nicholas Kronos on April 5, 2005 03:05 PM
Maybe her bosses were lesbians. What was I heteronormatively thinking.... Posted by: Nicholas Kronos on April 5, 2005 03:07 PM
If this woman thought people considered her "a pretty girl," she either needs a psych consult, or she is in fact from that Twillight Zone episode where beautiful people are ugly and "normal people" look like... well, her. Posted by: Smitty on April 5, 2005 03:12 PM
too bad Johnny Cochran died, she could have won. "If ya got the looks, ya gets no books." Posted by: on April 5, 2005 03:12 PM
O/T but why is there a blog-ad for "bed wetting" in the sidebar? Posted by: fat kid on April 5, 2005 03:19 PM
"Rabbi Spero in the Ring with bedwetters." That should be one hell of a show. I wonder if they are some of Cedarfords Red Diaper Babys? Posted by: on April 5, 2005 03:24 PM
(c) almost cost me a keyboard, because my sister-in-law lives in one of those abominations (on York) and pays as much in rent as we pay on a mortgage for a four bedroom house with a sixty by thirty backyard out here on Staten Island. Posted by: TC@LeatherPenguin on April 5, 2005 03:26 PM
Screw this fat chick. Does anybody want to spend some time helping me find Hitler? Come on Kronos. How about it? Fat Kid? Posted by: on April 5, 2005 03:26 PM
No honey, you don't get to lay on the couch all day shooting up coke with Wild Turkey enemas. You have to screw the guy first (on tape) for the sexual harassment suit (and the blackmail) before that kind of payday. Better luck next time. Posted by: 72VIRGINS on April 5, 2005 04:10 PM
Is this the guy who was just saying there was too much tit-talk and not enough news? Posted by: Smitty on April 5, 2005 04:11 PM
Smitty No, actually tit-talk is great, its the lack of anything else that sucks. And judging from what appears to be a missing tooth in Desiree's mouth, perhaps she already has spent too much time with eight balls and Wild Turkey. Posted by: 72VIRGINS on April 5, 2005 04:21 PM
She looks kind of like Monica Lewinksky oleated with Lisa Marie and a dash of Roseanne Cash. Were they able to extract her haunches from that revolving door before someone called 911? Posted by: Nicholas Kronos on April 5, 2005 04:27 PM

I feel bad for her. I was once denied a promotion for being too damned beautiful. Of course, they claimed I was grossly unqualified, hostile to management, didn't actually work there, blah blah blah. Posted by: lauraw on April 5, 2005 05:10 PM
I was once denied a promotion for being too damned beautiful. I was too ... ummm, in a manly Viking kind of way! Posted by: 72VIRGINS on April 5, 2005 05:35 PM
You guys are looking at the wrong photo. Inthis one , from the BoHo she is so fucking hot! Posted by: Joe Mama on April 5, 2005 06:25 PM
Almost forgot this gem from the article, right next to the photo: She claims in a lawsuit that the Ivy League university has been discriminating against her because she's black and is perceived as merely a ``pretty girl'' whose attire is too ``sexy.'' That photo proves her case perfectly. Posted by: Joe Mama on April 5, 2005 06:29 PM
Yet another self-esteem class success story. Posted by: hobgoblin on April 5, 2005 06:36 PM
I bet it's all those jealous bitches in the circulation department that are holding her back. I know the type. They're all just jealous. Posted by: lauraw on April 5, 2005 08:57 PM
This puts me in the mind of all those superodels and actresses who complain about life being harder for beautiful people. Um, it's just a guess, but in reality it's probably harder for people who eat so little they don't have enough fat in their system for proper brain function. Later, Posted by: bbeck on April 5, 2005 09:51 PM
She needs to lose the brown theme. Courts don't like it when you show up dressed like a giant Hershey's Kiss. Posted by: Blain on April 5, 2005 10:40 PM
Maybe there was something on my screen that I wasn't aware of but she's not attractive at all. As a matter of fact, she could make a freight train take a dirt road. Posted by: Chris Short on April 6, 2005 02:21 PM
