PORTRAIT OF A MOONBAT
Via the Washington Post, a compelling image of online leftoid Maryscott O’Connor:
Maryscott wasn’t pleased with the Post’s photographic choice, and—according to Maryscott—neither was WashPost journalist David Finkel:
He groaned on the phone just now when I told him which one they picked. “not THAT one! Oh, god, I’m sorry."
Hmm. I suspect Finkel may have been aware of the Post’s front-page photo choice before O’Connor, seeing as it’s his story and he works at the paper. Still, an entertaining piece. Great line from Charles Johnson:
It’s amazing how closely this matches my mental image of these lunatics.
Not quite so amazing is O’Connor’s grasping gesture, variations of which are common on the left. Here’s Margo Kingston with a bad case of Gimme Hands. And Andrew West seems to be illustrating his demand for a wage increase.
