Best Comment of the Year
Sorry, regular TTWS commenters. I received this comment from Mark Costin today and love it so much, I’m just going to go ahead and crown it king:
You are a Cunt. Dont be Jealous because Dana Perino is more attractive than you. 90% of you liberals are just unattractive people so you take it out on the wealthier attractive people…dont take it out on the conservatives, take it out on your poor ugly parents. Thanks!!
There are so many interesting details here. Why the capitalization of “cunt” and “jealous”? As for looks, I’m going out on a limb here, I know, but I actually don’t think Dana Perino is totally and completely hotter than me. She’s taller and blonder, true. But we both have pretty flat butts, and from the front I think I win. Her hair is thin, mine is thick. Her features are not “ethnic,” and she’s got those ice-blue eyes and lovely coloring … Okay, fine. She’s hotter than I am. So be it.
But in general, I think we liberals are doing pretty well these days:
Laura Bush vs. Michelle Obama
Joshua Bolten vs. Rahm Emanuel
Bill O’Reilley vs. Rachel Maddow
Sarah Palin vs. Tina Fey … oh, wait a minute …
Perhaps you question some of my assessments. I think Rahm Emanuel is hot in a heavy-lidded, somewhat-Israeli kind of way
and I think Rachel Maddow, when she’s not too dolled-up, is a soft-butch fantasy.
So, commenter Mark Costin, you very unfriendly and profane conservative, I’d like to have a Dem vs. GOP smackdown with you in terms of looks. You send me your photo and we’ll post it here, and we’ll let the readers decide who’s prettier, you or I.
I await your beauty.

Is Mark Costin the author of this dumbassed comment?
After reading it the first time I thought it was a teenager thinking they were being cute. I mean I really don’t think a rich gorgeous republican would actually write something like this. You have to admit it’s an immature juvenile thing to say. On the other hand, maybe it’s a sociopathic, narcisistic republican. We have seen a lot of them over the last seven to eight years.

That is a tremendous comment. Dana Perino? Blech. She’s no Sarah Palin.
ok, out of all the republican presidents vs. democrat presidents that come to mind, i think we’ve had a better pool of lookers. does jfk ring a bell, mark?! :-p
Liz,
I am so incredibly infuriated by this juvenile email and applaud your strength in your posting it here.
More than an Ad Hominum attack, it reeks of an immature person who is incapable of intelligent, adult discourse.
And, for the record, you are WAY hotter than Perino. And more intelligent, too.

As a white male, I will say, without reservation, that Jewish women are always foxy. Pale, white blondes are boring. I’m not making this up. The traditional American view of an attractive woman is medocre at best. However, every Jewish woman I’ve known has been slinky sexy.
I’ll stop now.
It’s funny what one can do with an IP address or even att.com/directory, if one is so inclined.
Hey, don’t shortchange the “ethnic” thing. I’m the lily-white Nordic type, & “ethnic” gets me every time — especially Jewish girls . . .
Sorry. Way too much information.
Dana is good looking, but you are hot. And real.
I agree totally with Josh C.
I find Jewish women incredibly hot, much more so than a bottled blond.
Winona Ryder (nee Horowitz), anyone?

I am so so with you about Rachel Maddow.
My favourite part of that comment, by the way, is the “Thanks!!” at the end. Such impeccable manners!
Hey Liz, I dont know if you took the bait by posting that message or if you did the right thing by revealing this guy’s disease. He sounds like one of those guys from the “real America” who just “loves America” except for hating most of the people living in it. The American people have spoken Mr. Asshole and have rejected you and your ideology. Get over it. Dana Perino may be a nice looking woman but spewing lies and misinformation does not speak well for her. You, Liz, on the other hand speak the truth and have become, by far, my favorite Jewish, sexual orientatedly confused, mental illnessedly advocationally, blogger extraordinairedly, drop dead gorgeously, philanthropicadelphiaedly, um, girl that i know. And I dont say that lightly. With love, Dave
I’m surprised he signed his name. Trolls usually like to do their dirty work anonymously. And like most
Conservatives, he couldn’t be more wrong if his butt was on backwards.
Ahahaha, wow. Amazing. I laughed aloud. You rock, Liz!
Hello,
I’m English, with an Irish father and Scottish mother. The word “cunt” is tossed around like “shit” in Britain.
If you read books of older, respected writers, they’ll toss out “cunt” as an everyday expression. Instead of, “This guy that I knew….” they would write, “This old cunt….”
Irvine Welsh tosses it around like a bag of rocks.
I will look into the old-time writer thing. I recall it was a book sent by my parents, by a man who frequented London clubs. Cunt was synonymous with bloke.
But back to the writer. Mr. Costin clearly has some personal issues to work through.
It would seem he feels challenged by strong women, is tormented by the fact that people other than he are succeeding and is lacking in moral, physical and spiritual backbone.
Where I come from, he’s a wanker, at best.
Oi Vey!
I am a Jewish girl but got that whole lilly white skin, blonde hair blue eye thing going…..
And yes Liz, you are drop dead gorgeous in real life. Your male admirers above are right on the money.
I’m a conservative, and I originally found this blog when I came across your photo by accident: “Oh my God!” I thought. Not only do you win this match-up, but many others as well. Sure, we may disagree on this or that point of policy, but we can all get together over the fact that you are beautiful.
(And by the way, what is the point of calling someone a cunt? Isn’t that like accusing someone of being pearls, hugs, curry, summer afternoons, hot cocoa, the end of the work day, etc.)
