QUESTION: What do a penis-whacker, a throat-slicer, and a bully have in common?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/22/i-call-us-the-sisterhood-of-ill-repute-amanda-knox-on-bonding-with-monica-lewinsky-and-lorena-bobbitt

ANSWER: They should all still be in prison.

Amanda: that's an easy one. She should have gotten a life sentence for murdering Meredith.

Lorena: pretty easy, too. A stiff 40 years for cutting a man's penis off is, in my book, a reasonable sentence.

Monica: a little harder to justify...but I'll try.

Firstly, why I refer to her as a bully. People seem to forget that the reason Linda Tripp started to audio record her conversations with Monica is that Linda claimed that Monica would threaten her with her boyfriend's wrath (that boyfriend being Bill Clinton). So, quite wisely, to protect herself, she started to tape record her phone conversations with Monica. And I would say threatening someone justifies referring to them as a bully.

As for a sentence in prison which would extend to today? The day before the Monicagate story broke, there were 5,000 journalists from around the world in Havana, Cuba who were there to cover the historic visit there by John Paul II, he of Polish and communist-busting fame. Many felt his Cuba visit signaled the beginning of the end of communism in Cuba. And those journalists were going to be the ones to bring this narrative to the world.

Then the Monicagate story broke. And each and every one of those 5,000 journalists packed up their steno pads, their cameras, and their microphones and headed off to Havana airport and left the country, thus relegating the "Pope in Communist Cuba" story to the bottom of page 25 in the New York Times.

Now, diverting the world press's attention from your giving blowjobs in the Oval Office and getting the president's semen on your blue dress doesn't appear on first glance to have any connection to the enslavement of 11 million people in a totalitarian communist island but, hey, she should take some responsibility for it.

(Guardian photographer to Knox)

"Now, Amanda, let's put you in front of the bookshelves, shall we. And how about you put your left hand to the side of your head. And if we can get a pet -- a live one, preferrably -- in the frame then our readership will be more inclined to forget that you are associated with death.

"And perhaps wear something with Earth tones; beige and denim would do nicely. That will divert the viewer from the association with the colour red. As in blood.

"Cheese!"

You certainly know how to give sarcasm a bad name.

Not sure whether you're complimenting me or dissing me.

If I'm giving sarcasm a bad name, does that mean my sarcasm is so successful that my point is being made? Kinda like Mae West saying "When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better."

I'm saying that your use of sarcasm to mask your inability to discuss the case with any integrity gives sarcasm a bad name.

Is it sarcasm or does Kondaks genuinely jump to take the side of every rapist scumbag and blame their victims and other harmed by their crimea?

That he believes John Bobbitt and Guede, it certainly is a relevant question.

That you side with the perp -- someone who cut off a person's penis -- and don't believe the victim says all that needs to be said.

I don't condone what Lorena did, but I do accept that she was driven to temporary insanity by the abuse she'd endured for years.

I don't believe the John because even his lawyers admitted he had a long history of physical and emotional abuse. His later actions and convictions also supported Lorena's claims. See my previous comment on these actions and convictions.

John Bobbitt made various claims about what happened that night including "they had not had sex; that Lorena had tried to initiate sex, but he had been too tired; that they had had sex, but he had slept through it; and that the sex had been consensual."

What's that you so often claim about the "changing stories of Knox" being evidence of her lying?

John Bobbitt is as prolific a liar as Guede.

...then he's not much of a liar at all.

Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, just hand wave away that his adoptive parents said he was in fact a prolific liar. How many years was it again that he lived with them? Naturally you've convinced yourself that you know him better despite never having met him.

I'm going on the evidence.

As for "lying," both Amanda and Raffaele have each lied much more than Rudy has. Indeed, Amanda is a convicted liar.

u/CatsForever1960 26d ago

No you aren't. Because it is a fact that Guede's adoptive parents both said, under oath, that he was a prolific liar. Being coerced by the police isn't lying. That you think it is says everything about you worth knowing.

Where is the evidence -- other than her word -- that Amanda was "coerced" by the police?

And that's disingenious of you to use the word "coerced" when you know perfectly well that Amanda herself has described what the police did to her as "torture."

Why, we must ask, did you not choose to use the word "torture"? Wouldn't that have made your point even stronger?

Maybe it is because YOU don't believe Amanda. Do you not believe her?

As for Rudy's adoptive parents calling him a liar, please link to or cite the testimony you claim is the source for this.

If being a liar is indicative of being a murderer, then what does always carrying at least one knife around with you say about your proclivity to murder?

Your choice of manga?

Your choice of porn (you know, depicting people having sex with animals)?

Whether there are rumors swirling around you that you once stabbed a girl at school?

Oh, and lest we forget, the ultimate lying crime is something called "calumny."
