Friedlander admitted in an apology that he was “trying to mimic what I saw as the way Right Wingers go about these matters,” and that the post was “glib, but finally off-kilter and misdirected.”
The original post, of which a cached version still exists here, lambasts conservatives and offers up the large sum for any racy information that will “pop the tea baggers’ favorite balloon.” No word yet on whether or not Glen Beck needs his honor restored.
In other right/left clashes, some scantily clad Ohio strippers turned the tables on the protestors who usually demonstrate outside their club—by picketing their church. Employees of The Fox Hole club are showed up at the New Beginnings Ministries church during Sunday services, baring bellybuttons and bearing signs with biblical messages including: “Jesus loves the children of the world.”
Despite the fact Pastor Bill Dunfee told the Associated Press that, “Light and darkness cannot exist together,” confrontations between the strippers and the congregation have been “largely friendly,” proving that, even if folks don’t agree, there’s always time for a little fellowship.
Less friendly is Hollywood designers’ treatment of voluptuous Christina Hendricks, Mad Men Star and recent “Sexiest Woman Alive.” The buxom beauty has admitted that the perk that most tinsel town elite get—evening gowns on loan from famous designers—does not apply to her because she’s a size 14.
“People have been saying some nice, wonderful things about me. Yet not one designer in town will loan me a dress,” Hendricks lamented after the Emmy Awards. “They only lend out a size 0 or 2.”
It appears fashion still hasn’t caught up to the “healthy” look that Hendricks has championed as a role model, especially for young girls caught in the “body crisis” of stick-thin magazine models. Still, if Sexiest Christina doesn’t get her designer glitter and bows, we’re not worried—she’d look ravishing in a burlap sack.
