Whine and cheese conservatism

So, you read this long extended whine from the Pathetic Ignorant Little Man, and you start to think, man, there's some admirable chutzpah in going to an interview even after they've pretty much told you, by refusing to pay your fare, that they don't want you to interview (although granted Clarey seems typically clueless that that's what was going on). But then it all gets ruined by the sour grape-ism. In particular, what kind of fool lies at an interview, gets caught lying, and then brags about it? I mean, what idiot, after reading this self-pitying screed, would ever hire this guy to do anything? But then, ah, yes, Aaron Clarey is the kind of daring, convention-defying soul who spouts crud along the lines of,

I lied at an interview and got caught, and then they didn't hire me: therefore the system is stupid and stacked in favor of Ivy Leaguers.

or

I spout every kind of misogynistic crap, and women still don't appreciate me, which just goes to show that all the misogynistic crap is true.

or even

I defecated out a lot of racist hate speech publicly, and somebody went and pointed it out. Clearly Somebody done me wrong.

Yes, folks, whine whine whine, that's the ticket to glory. Never forget that Clarey's problems are always somebody else's fault, and damn it, he'll hire people to harass you into the ground to prove it if he has to.

Contagion?

So here's a Deep Question: AM radio bigots -- are they maybe some kind of spreading plague? Like bird flu or something?

I find myself mulling over this little passage from Eugene Robinson:

Nor is there much exculpatory power in Imus's defense of himself, which can be paraphrased as "I'm not a racist, I just keep saying racist things." What characteristics, do you suppose, could possibly identify a person who was indeed a racist? You think maybe that saying racist things might be a fairly reliable clue?

Funny; I've heard something like that somewhere very recently....

I think it's called a "bigoticon"

Ah, more pure, unadulterated bigotry (PDF). Nice to know by screening comments the Pathetic Ignorant Little Man maintains the highminded tone of the blog! And so nice to see what submissions he posts!

But I have a particular fondeness for the "I'm winking at you while I'm saying this" "emoticon" he uses on that last comment there to let us know what he thinks. There should be a special term for that!
