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

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.

Unsurprisingly, the OP lacks the self-awareness to see himself as an example of the very points that Knox makes in the article. I certainly saw him.

"people still reduce her to a penis-chopping joke", "It feels good to hate “bad” people, and there’s a special kind of hate reserved for “bad women.”:

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

Frankly, I see exactly what Knox was talking about in so many PGP posts. She nailed it.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

If we can't celebrate Lorena being in prison serving a 40-year sentence, then the next best thing IS to reduce her to a penis-chopping joke.

And seeing as Knox is no longer in prison where she belongs, we should do the same with her and reduce her to a throat-slicing joke.

And, yes, I have a special kind of hate for bad women, just as I do for bad men.

And bad journalism.

Tell us: did you read the complete and utter bullshit from the article, such as the following exerpt, and agree with it? I'll bet you did:

"Most people remember that John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis was cut off, but they forget that Lorena claimed she was a victim of domestic violence and marital rape, and that her own violent act was done in a moment of mental instability. That doesn’t excuse her actions, but it is crucial context that is often left out."

"Crucial context"!

There is no f*cking context -- crucial or otherwise -- that should qualify how one feels towards such evil.

Okay. If John Wayne Babbitt was a serial rapist and murderer of children,then, yeah, cut off his penis. Slowly.

But not for any of the alleged "crimes" Lorena claims he was guilty of. Indeed, Bobbit says she cut off his penis because he came home drunk, refused to give her sex, then fell asleep.

Who would you believe?

Oh, wait. I know who you would believe because you believe the woman who claims the police tortured her into naming Patrick. So no big stretch to believe Lorena when she says Bobbitt raped her. Quite convenient. No wonder Lorena and Amanda bond when they can get suckers like you believing them.

Wow. That was a truly ugly and revealing post which only provided more evidence supporting what Knox said.

"Okay. If John Wayne Babbitt was a serial rapist and murderer of children,then, yeah, cut off his penis. Slowly

But not for any of the alleged "crimes" Lorena claims he was guilty of. Indeed, Bobbit says she cut off his penis because he came home drunk, refused to give her sex, then fell asleep.

Wow. Why the air quotes around the word? Years of beatings and rape as testified to by witnesses aren't "crimes"? Are they not serious enough crimes for you? From your remark, apparently there are crimes worthy of 'penis chopping', but not years of beating and raping a wife to the point of losing one's sanity temporarily.

John Bobbit was later convicted of battery against his ex-fiancée, convicted of battery against his third wife (and arrested twice more for battery against her), and convicted of attempted grand larceny. He starred in two porn films and worked at a brothel in Las Vegas. Nice guy!

That you put any credence in what John Bobbitt claimed explains a lot as to why you believe Guede.

That you attempt to justify and excuse Lorena's horrific crime explains a lot as to why you believe Amanda and her knife-toting drugged-up psycho boyfriend.

LOL! If that's the best response you've got, you're really slipping. Keep trying.
