LA Times, no way!
Subject: FW: Quote of the Week (Confesion from California)
"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words." --columnist Burt Prelutsky, LA Times |
It seems to have quite a circulation on the web, but I didn't find anything about it at the LA Times. However, I did find this at ResistNet.com http://www.resistnet.com/group/idaho...imes-is-coming
There is no link to the LA Times. Quote:

Nope it's TRUE!
http://prelutsky.blogspot.com/ Scroll all the way down to 12/6/09 Under the article entitled The New and Improved Iron Curtain you will find the quote. Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I’m not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we’re number one. There’s no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on “Macbeth”. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of speech. You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words. |
Well if Meg wins California, you can add her to the list.

The cauldron stirrers were not the scariest women in "Macbeth".

--> http://prelutsky.blogspot.com/ <-- The whole statement: Quote:
No one in the many websites the two paragraph cut was copied and pasted to questioned the origins of the quote, and perhaps in the form it was circulated through all those websites it could be construed as libel. The focus was the LA Times - as if the LA Times agreed with the quote - rather than a person who was formerly employed by the LA as a humor columnist and stated an opinion which was independent of and not printed by his former employer. My opinion is that we have to have the credibility of accuracy. If it appears that we run with tales which strike our fancy without checking accuracy, we lose credibility. |
