The Politico has a new feature called BlogJam that does profiles on bloggers. Today they have a profile of the idiotic Ann Althouse. They asked Ann about her biggest controversy. Here’s what she said.
Biggest dust-up: “Let’s take a closer look at those breasts,” a post about a female blogger who posed for a photo in front of Bill Clinton. Jessica Valenti, who runs and blogs on feministing.com, is standing at an angle with a slight arch in her back, making the focal point of the photo, whether intentional or not, her breasts.
Valenti isn’t shy about her body; she just published a book called “Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman’s Guide to Why Feminism Matters.” Althouse riffed on the relationship between accentuated breasts and feminism, and Valenti and the rest of the blogo-feminist world lashed back at her. “That’s still going on. That started like last year. I still get stuff about that,” said Althouse. “But I don’t regret it.”
Jessica Valenti’s response was succinct, Two words for The Politico: FUCK YOU.
That seems appropriate.
