So Laurie Penny is not on life support in a hospital. She's obviously happy about that:
I said "thank you." And that was that.
If only.
But that was not that. Ms. Penny, rather than making it "thank you" and full stop, wrote an article.
Let me just say that British journalists shouldn't advertise their nationality the next few weeks until this fades if they expect Americans to save them from walking into traffic. Said Ms. Penny:
The real heroes I've met in America are risking everything to make sure that the United States doesn't slide further into bigotry, inequality and violence whilst everyone is distracted by the everyday doings of celebrities.
What a twit.
Still, in President Obama's favor, any damage to the special relationship between American and Britain isn't all his fault.
And keep in mind that she slammed Americans after she admitted that if Gosling hadn't saved her that someone else would have done the deed. Americans are decent people, she says. Excepting those evil people bent on promoting bigotry, inequality, and violence.
Still, don't be too unkind to Miss Moaning Penny after she was shaken but not interred:
Look, I am kind of an idiot.
Full stop.
UPDATE: And another thing. Miss Penny's ingratitude is really just astounding.
Let me just say that if Princess Kate Middleton pulled me from oncoming traffic in some London traffic circle (or instructed her chauffeur to do so), I'd have the decency to thank her (and possibly the indecency to be not just a little aroused) without going on about the British people worshipping a royal family (inequality, anyone?) while they promote bigotry (I assume that's why they "need"strict hate laws) and violence (and if you think that was about inequality, put it in that category, too)--including against women which society seems to ignore, so maybe Ms. Penny the self-proclaimed feminist will have something to write about when she goes home.
And on that, don't let Lady Liberty kick you in the butt on the way out.
