From after the 1st debate

...I hate not entirely hating Megyn Kelly.

I’m just glad that someone finally called Sean Hannity.

Yeah, I’m guessing that Brad’s reaction is something other than, “Gee, I haven’t talked to my dear friend Melissa in awhile. I should give her a call and thank her for her support.”

Guys. Guys? Guys.

Exactly. She’s hinting at old dirt and giving the tabloids something to feast on and use, since Angie and Brad aren’t saying anything themselves.

Southerners use the phrase as both an insult and a sincere expression. It’s about context.

She should take note that Mindy Cohn, reportedly an actual close friend of the couple, hasn’t said a word.

That’s like being upset when an actress appears in a movie.

Too right!

HIllary wore it better.

I’m not Southern and I say it all the time. I joke that it’s because my family has very deep roots in Georgia, but it’s really because it’s probably one of the five most useful phrases on the planet because it’s so fucking versatile and succinct.

I think it’s important to have some pretty Slattery pictures this morning.

“Every time I unnecessarily talk about someone else’s personal business, it gets taken out of context even though I definitely said shady shit. I should be more careful about doing that sort of thing, and have decided to commemorate that decision by singing about it on a national tv show.” 

Yeah a bunch of Jezzies who aren’t even actually from the South decided that it is always an expression of derision, but as others in the thread have pointed out, it’s actually context dependent. I’ve said “bless his/her/your heart” plenty of times and not meant it as an insult.

“Bless your heart” is often tonal and always contextual. Like... when my 2 y/o daughter says “Want cereal.” That might mean “I want cereal, please,” “I want cereal immediately,” “I don’t want cereal,” or “Get this fucking cereal out of my fucking face before I cut your bitchass.”

You know who sounds like a total asshole in that interview? Sam Rubin. A quick reminder that this professional entertainment reporter mistook Samuel L Jackson for Lawrence Fishburne.

I’m working on that, getting up to nothing is my 5 year goal
