What a bozo. We already have a sharp, witty, blonde conservative. Her name is Ann Coulter. Schlussel isn't in the same galaxy.

I totally agree with you. Debbie doesn't have the brains, the wit or the looks that Ann has.

You're right, she can barely write. She has two styles ("middle school book report" and "peevish rant"), each of which come in two flavors ("condescending" and "bland"). Give me her cans, a plunging neckline, and some free time and I'd bury her traffic. I don't think I'd even have to shave.

Just walk away dear, just walk away.

The "I'm a lawyer, quit saying mean things about me." approach with Misha, the "I'm a genius, my membership in MENSA says so" approach with you, and the I don't have to reveal my sources, na na nana na" along with an unrepentant approach to getting parties and facts messed up in her lashing out at critics.

1. She is acting like a liberal.
2. I feel sorry for her clients.

Caution, Do not feed the trolls. Their bite is annoying,like fleas.

Her words certainly ring hollow, don't they? Very repetitive as well. What's a person to do when you can't even be insulted with some originality? Her panty wah after Misha's post disgusted me. He would destroy her in open debate, of that I am confident. But don't hold your breath unless you look good in blue. Or let the Rotties at her.....Anyway, I too, was qualified to join MENSA at one time. It's no big deal. I thought about it and decided to let it go, not replying. It's just that some of these folks are so far off reality I wouldn't trust them to walk me across the street on a green light, you know what I'm sayin'? Anyway Beth, I like your site.

Debbie Schnitzel is a piece of work. Similar to the piece of work I once stepped in at the park.

please dont waste your valueable time on some body like her-as the general told the reporters in new orleans {stuck on stupid}
humbley j

What a litigious, paranoid twit. You're right--she's the grumpy 13 year-old. Maybe when she grows up, she'll be lucky and will have forgotten about what a jackass she made of herself. Of course, since she's in Mensa she likely won't forget. Pity her embarassment.

BTW, I always thought it was hilarious that I could be a member of MENSA (I guess we don't take ourselves so seriously?). Apparently they *do* let anyone in, judging from that proud, crowing representative of the membership. ;-)

When the snit with Misha first came up, I thought Debbie had some sort of meta-strategy she was playing out to increase her notoriety.

Now, having read entries in the saga from you and your husband, I've come to believe she's just reacting out of pique.

I'd say to save it for the Kos kiddies except that I don't really like having someone like Schlussel on "my" side.

Holy crap. She sounds like me, only dumber. Well, that and she calls the FBI when she feels threatened. I just pray for a break-in so I can try out that new Sig Sauer.

Can't Understand Normal Thinking.

What an odd person that one is. Follow John's advice and walk away.

She just don't understand how this whole blogging thing works, does she?

Or the rest of the real world, for that matter.

Now, I can understand why she's pissed off at me (although her way of dealing with it leaves much to be desired in the maturity department), I'd have been pissed off too, but where she gets off on unloading on you, Beth, I'll never understand and it's beginning to piss me off.

You asked her very politely for some sources for an article that you found interesting and she just went completely ballistic on you, bragging about her superior skills and how she didn't have to justify herself to anybody.

Pompous pissant, if you'll pardon me for using such language here.

Does she really want to start a blogwar?

If she does, she's sillier than I thought and that's saying quite a bit by now.

If she'd let the damn thing lie already, it'd be last month's news next week, but I'm beginning to suspect that her delusions of adequacy just won't let her.

Oh well, you reach out a hand to somebody and sometimes they bite it.

P.S.: I was invited to join MENSA as well. Now I'm glad I refused.

Go ahead and join Mensa. The more anti-idiotarians it has, the better.

Speaking of which, I need to get around to re-joining. I let my membership lapse when I was a dirt poor college student.

Maybe if there's enough of us we can start an offician anti-idiotarian SIG (special interest group).

What a twit. I am curious though when she says "Do I have to warn the FBI about you, too?" Too? Who else is she reporting? Maybe I missed that.

She sounds strange and deranged.

Let it go, Debbie...

She does sound increasingly unhinged. I'd back away, myself.

I've heard Schlussel talk on the Howard Stern show. She is crazy.

Debbie, I have some pointed shoes and would love to go cockroach stomping. [snip] All Beth did was ask you to back up your claim. That is called responsible reporting, not hearsay. The fact that you have attacked her shows you to be the liberal pundit that you really are. Beth is a good kind person who doesn't HAVE to prove anything because if she has posted something on her blog that is incorrect, she will take steps to make it right. All you have done is been shrill, frantic and insulting.

Sorry Beth. If you want to take that down, go ahead. I get so tired of these people who seem to want to insist that because they say so or they heard it in their hourly conspiracy meetings via their implants it is TRUE and you had better get with the program! She is no better than a jihadist who demands that all who are in range capitulate.
(and Debbie, I used that word deliberately so you could look up the root word and its meaning, if you are so freakin' brilliant!)

How did Mensa get into this? (And it is "Mensa", not "MENSA", thank you. Okay, I just realized that I have way too many pet peeves, to which I have just added anything Debbie Schlussel ever said.)

Note to Debbie: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. You obviously don't have the skin to take the heat and now you've decided to roll over and wet on yourself and anything else you can hit. Temper tantrums are for children, and apparently you've forgotten this.

That woman has a personality disorder, clearly. I can't believe Michelle M, has anything to do with that caustic-slandering witch. I think WE should sue her for slandering Jay at Stop the ACLU.

I've been clicking down the list of links JoA posted. Left a comment on the last one. Dang, Beth, you're more patient than I would have been. That kind of crazy talk she wrote might have provoked the same, or prolly worse, with nautical language, from me.

Oh, on the Mensa thing: I think that "g" is innate, and manners are learned. Or not.

JTG - if you did that, you'd be the Rottie. And your readership would soar!~

Mensa membership is based solely on your test score. As is often noted amongst the membership, 'smarts' is not required.

Also often noted is the fact that the people who most often make a big deal out of their membership... shouldn't.

And yes, I'm good at taking tests.

Holy Smoke..Check this out, off of Drudge. I am assuming Debbie sent them in to make these arrests.
