Media Consistently Awards Free Passes to Men Who Abuse Women
— Ace

Why, you'd almost think they were putting Status ahead of Principle or somethihg.

What do you call a low-income man who smashes a woman with a baseball bat and hospitalizes her? Felon.

What do you call a high-profile, high-income man who does the same? Oscar Darling Sean Penn.

Gossip outlets in recent months have speculated about the possibility of another celebrity reunionÂ—Sean Penn and Madonna. Most of the coverage, interestingly enough, has glossed over PennÂ’s violent, abusive behavior while the Â“Poison PennsÂ” were married. Once, Madonna was hospitalized after Penn struck her with a baseball bat. He was charged with domestic assault in 1988 and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. The two divorced a year later.

Afflict the comfortable? Ha-ha. The media is a bunch of celebrity-worshipping Tweener girls. Why, it's almost like they're edgy, counter-cultural SNL writers or something.

Headline Fixed: I blew the whole point-- the media awards free passes to high-status men who abuse women. Not all men.

Men they hope to meet a Conde Nast party.

23 you have to admit, a lot of Silver Stars for Valor are being awarded to donks in the War on Women. On a related note, Sen. Menedeze'se's' whore-mongering is basically the equivalent of a special forces raid. It's like he shot bin laden, like a dozen times. And now look, he's being forced to pay for things out of his own pocket, just like that guy from Seal Team Six (according to Esquire) who popped OBL.

68 You do have to give snaps to Sean Penn. At least he didn't outsource the beatings. He didn't pay Jose from Juarez under the table to smack her upside the head with that bat.

from Yahoo news / LA Times or something like that:

[Updated at 2:40 p.m. PT]

Disgruntled former L.A. police officer Christopher Dorner is reportedly barricaded in a mountain cabin after shooting two officers during a gun battle this afternoon, according to the San Bernadino County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities have the cabin surrounded near Big Bear Lake, which is about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Dozens of SWAT officers have been sent to the scene.

An unidentified source told the the L.A. Times that the shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole their car. A spokeswoman with the San Bernadino Sheriff's Office said that two officers were being transported via air ambulance. Their conditions were not known.

"Suspect is pinned down next to the shooting scene," a San Bernadino dispatcher said over a police radio channel. "Marshals have a positive ID and visual of the suspect."

Hating women ('specially those who know which end of the barrel the round comes out of) is a lib/leftard requirement, don'tchaknow?

114 Yeah, Raging Bull, Godfather II were real duds Posted by: Jones in CO at February 12, 2013 05:50 PM (8sCoq) --Goodfellas sucked too. One that DeNiro made that I still like is A Bronx Tale. I love it when he tells his son that if the girl doesn't unlock his door after he lets her in the car she's a selfish bitch and he should lose her right away.

115 Ted Kennedy doesn't beat women. He just accidentally drowns them in a car when they won't suck is willie wonka.

116 His younger brother, Michael, who died way too young was a conservative Republican. Funny, huh?

Get out! Liked Michael Penn and wondered why he never produced more music. His music is big in the Muzak played in stores, was just recently humming along to "Romeo in Black Jeans"

118 yeah, JJ, Charles Grodin once remarked how funny it was that Deniro got all the tough guy roles and he was always cast as the wimpy guy Grodin said that in real life he grew up in the mean streets, whereas Deniro grew up the suburbs.

119 104 Posted by: mallfly at February 12, 2013 05:51 PM (bJm7W) Being disgruntled presupposes that you were at one time "gruntled."

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at February 12, 2013 01:53 PM (XkWWK)

120 re 103: did you ever see the movie he did with Meryl Streep? Very good movie, at least if you want an empty theater for an unobserved BJ (ok, back to Penn and Madonna.)

"Deer Hunter" or whatever it was called was pretty good, if I recall correctly from the days before I gave up Gallo Sherry for vodka. And no Howard Stern fan will ever forget that uproarious laughter in the theater from "Cape Fear"

High-status people get a pass on just about...anything.

Unless they're conservative.

I'll need at least a liter of ValueRite to erase that mental image.

Oh.

128 The only thing more deserving than Madonna getting a bat to the face would be Penn himself.

129 Dys-topia, dis-membered, dys-peptic, dis-barred.

Perhaps there's a proper way to gruntle someone, but someone really gruntled Dorner the wrong way

Posted by: boulder toilet hobo at February 12, 2013 01:56 PM (QTHTd)

130 But back when Penn was married to Madonna, she was the Hawt.

132 Too bad about Chris Penn. Liked him in "True Romance" and "Reservoir Dogs."

133 Somewhere Idi Amin is laughing and calling Penn a piker.

135 Excerpt from Rand Paul's TP response: "Both parties have been guilty of spending too much, of protecting their sacred cows, of backroom deals in which everyone up here wins, but every taxpayer loses. It is time for a new bipartisan consensus. It is time Democrats admit that not every dollar spent on domestic programs is sacred. And it is time Republicans realize that military spending is not immune to waste and fraud."

139 Penn and Madge back together? I couldn't think of a better reunion. They should be forced into a suicide pact as a gesture of commitment.

141 Well, there's not much more to say about the crazy cop killer. But then, same goes for leftard wife beaters.

145 Not to pick nits but there hasn't been anything counter-cultural about Saturday Night Live in a long, long time Ace. The writers on that show are as conformist as they come and wholeheartedly support the status quo.

The right is counter-cultural now. I think that is a point you have made yourself since the left owns the culture.

147 Even Bloom County had Opus getting assaulted by Sean Penn in the Madonna days. That actor has some acting out issues - maybe 'Taps' wasn't so far off.

Posted by: Mikey NTH at February 12, 2013 05:32 PM (gmoEG)

148 I thought Tom Cruise was the batshit one in "Taps". (In retrospect, who would have ever guessed?)

Posted by: Rich Fader at February 12, 2013 08:53 PM (2Zrwv)

149 "He was charged with domestic assault in 1988 and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor."

Doesn't that make Penn a "prohibited person" and his shotgun wielding antics in post-Katrina NOLA some kind of felony or something?. I also seem to recall something about a"licensed handgun" left in his car which got stolen (or sump'n like that). Howz that shit work?
