Sometimes I'm a judgmental bitch
I guess I shouldn't be surprised when I feel my inner sanctimonious prick flare up, after all if I recall correctly, I'm an NSTJ & that J stands for judge-y judger who judges. And as any good sanctimonious prick knows, the best way to keep the flame of righteous indignation strong is to refuse to listen to any arguments made by the person you're smugly judging.

This is why I'm avoiding (as much as possible while still keeping relatively informed on things like weather & the status of the stimulus bill) all 'news' about that blasted mother of octuplets here in Southern California. I'm particularly avoiding anything (like her interview with whichever softballer her press agent lined up for her) that might make me feel any sympathy for that incredible ass. I'm moderately willing to read stuff that stokes my flames (like reports that her asshat of a fertility specialist appears to be at least moderately incompetant and that the hospital she gave birth in has already applied to the state to cover the enormous costs of the birth & care of the infants), but I'm not willing to listen to the mother herself explain her actions. I say to myself it's because I don't want to waste my time, but I'm certainly willing to waste my time getting morally indignant about something that really has very little affect on me.

Which leads me to the only conclusion I can come up with: I sometimes enjoy being a judgmental bitch. Does this mean I have to cut Ann Coulter some slack?

	"Does this mean I have to cut Ann Coulter some slack?" Uh, I'm going to go with "No" on this one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well I've read a couple of bits where she's explaining herself, and it doesn't really help to change my opinion, and my stock "what the hell was she thinking?!" retort. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I can sum up her 'explanation' for you in three words: "I love babies!" Seriously. Oh, also, "we implanted six embryos but I never thought I'd get more than twins!" So math? Maybe not her strong suit. Nor is science, since you can't implant embryos, you can only transfer them and hope they implant. (MAJOR PET PEEVE OF MINE.) Also you should watch the clips because she not only sounds stupid but looks... weird. Like she maybe had some serious reconstructive surgery (other people are speculating cosmetic surgery, but it looks like reconstructive to me, and yes I know I am nitpicking - that is the point of being judgy!). If you cut Coulter any slack, the terrorists have won. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This woman likes the attention of being pregnant and having babies. If the subsequent interviews with HER OWN MOTHER are any indication, once the kids are out of infancy, she loses interest in their day to day care. BITCH IS CRAZY. In the olden days, they would have done a hysterectomy the minute that last kid was out. Sometimes, I miss the olden days. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh phew, someone else like me :-) (though I'm pretty ignorant on this particular one, I admit). I feel a little better now, thanks Cassy! xx (Reply to this) (Thread)
