Richard Cohen is a columnist for The Washington Post who is the
you know he's a bad columnist but is also a reprehensible human being
I right so that's the part you have to remember he's racist is bigoted he says
creepy things he's a sexual harasser
and he has a column at the washington post that's right the Washington Post
so his latest column somehow he took he put personal let me show you what kinda
guy he is
this is what he wrote in 1998 when he was can't it was accused of sexual
harassment
and he wrote a column kinda excusing himself and here's what he said he says
miss H sits near my office where she does God's work
journalism cruising down the aisle one day I passer and take notice
mes H is wearing a short skirt and her legs are extended into the aisle
one glance triggers a Russian hormones that like an anesthetic
blocked the nerves leading to my common sense
great legs I say to which I get a lecture on male chauvinist pig -ism
admonished every tree to my office momentarily confused but in the end
wiser because I'm only a columnist at the washington post
how would I go about anything so that so he is by the way so that's a guy who
finds a very big men are just victims to their sexual impulses
and they can help themselves or what they say or what they do
and there yet he's upset at Miley Cyrus
but she's a big whore right because she's owning her sexuality in doing
sexual things here's what she had to say Miley Cyrus
worked I had to look up that word since my in the fatigue level spell checker
had no idea what I meant I discovered from Wikipedia that
working involves a person usually a woman shaking your hips an up-and-down
bouncing motion causing the dance and shake
wobble in general that's precisely what's iris
did at the recent MTV Video Music Awards for which he has been amply in
justifiably criticized
she's a cheap acts ok no doubt about it
but for me her performance with an opportunity to discuss what are the
summer's most arresting pieces in journalism
along New Yorker account of what became known as the Steubenville rape case
Cyrus should read it so
somehow he goes from Miley Cirus doing is suggestive sexual dance at the be
amaze
which is known for sexual suggestive dance is
and somehow he makes a connection to the Steubenville rape case
as if somehow Miley Cyrus is responsible
for those guys raping that drunk girl in Ohio
but he says the first thing you should know about the so-called Steubenville
rape
is that this was not a rape involving intercourse the next thing you should
know
is that there weren't many young men involved just two were convicted
and the next thing you should know is that just about everything you do know
about the case from TV and Internet
was wrong for small wire those the first two things you know
that the first thing you should know about it is that a girl was drunk and
got raped
in public in front of people stuff happened
that's the first thing you should know about it and that it met the legal
definition a break
Inc red state Ohio so that is a rape
okay and have other state so this is richard cohen again
when do you get disqualified from public discourse it should because you're a
columnist at the washington post
you can say the both vital thing this is victim blaming this is shaming this a
the the rape victim for its unbelievable what he's doing so relief SIII
mother my favorite part about my favorite part about is when he says
there weren't that many men involved just
too I think the world so Richard Cohen how many men would have to rape you
before you consider to an immoral or offensive at
what do you what do you think that wasn't happy with what we've got one for
me yeah I think
want to do for me but quite good way we just let's just play his neck a are like
that one
a go ahead what do you think his point is what's yeah that's what I'm
so now back to Miley Cyrus and hurt working I run the risk a bowl bowl game
is for suggesting the girls
a tasteless tweets especially that bit with the foam finger looking up if you
must
but let me suggest that act such as hers that only objectify women but the base
them
they encourage a teenage culture that has set the woman's movement back on its
heels
what is being celebrated its not sexuality but sexual exploitation
I mean casualness that the private intimacy a fall intimacy Cyrus taught me
a word
now let me teach her once she's at work let me teach richard cohen a word you
are creepy mother fucker
and for you to sit there and say that somehow Miley Cyrus has to take
responsibility
for what to rate this date in Steubenville Ohio two years before she
did that day it's at the VMAs
because that's what happened those kids in Steubenville were drunk they see a
drunk girl they go I bet a couple years
Miley Cyrus is gonna act like a slut and the be amazed
so let's break this girl that's what happened Richard Cohen
richard cohen it still has a job at the washington post nothing disqualifies you
from public for supper so many more you can say it the most gross things
this is okay am I wrong about this there's no no no I mean I found the
whole article
just just appalling just absolutely appalling and when he
you know talks about using Miley Cyrus I think he's just being opportunistic
and trying to say okay I'm no way on this but also the thing i really wanna
talk about is this
the Steubenville rape and his it also appalling outrageous statements going to
say
that that the the Steubenville rape is the entire group was a digital lynch mob
that went after them
when they were innocent there was not a classic great I think you said that last
year was a classic rate it's not
which to me that's you know what this man should not be raining anymore says
just but he will be you know it will be he's not going to get fired for that
I mean as a writer he's doing I just a very simplistic trick that a lot a
writer's do he's taking the Miley Cyrus thing which for three days nobody can
stop talking about is trying to bend twist
somehow using the word twerking so he shows up on the Google search terms
into what he really wants to talk about which is this bizarre
defense rape which is the crazy thing is that he's there's really no connection
between an event that happened two years prior to the VM A's and and what
happened it is if you to guess how many times did you watch that video
my site for King I listened probably a few
find something interesting to step or most you know that not all good now
incense
so last last man what happened when he wrote this he had its common sense
blocked off yet by is for a couple minutes
yes what happens it sold last summer and last year we had legitimate rape that
was like
the arguments the republicans are making that was a big discussion about rate
this has been like the year especially the summer I love
afraid culture like blurred lines raise all these discussions but isn't really a
recall to everybody's talking about it
and I think that he is certainly free as a person to try to discuss it
the problem is that he's coming from a mind set up the seventies or perhaps
earlier
and so he's just not qualified he's so out-of-date with what's going on and I
think
I think it's an extremely complicated subject that is often simplified by
people
on either side in the men's rights I love it or from this
who have sort of a political bone to pick in and want to gear up the outrage
machine in a way that
advances their side of the argument but I think it is extremely complicated I
think that
it is going to take two years for our culture to settle on what is actually
appropriate and indeed the bounds what's appropriate when it comes to
on suggestive terminology and things like that lyrics of songs like blurred
lines
it takes a long time to reach I just think he is he's shown he's not
qualified to engage is there a dance move that Miley Cyrus could do that
would make you rape someone job
I don't like what she did but I don't like for her own sake what should I
don't make your rapist
no I don't think so but I'm not caused by four letter word let on that
ride over here is the thing is that what you wrote earlier in the first for the
record
wrote in ninety-eight he's already think I can't control myself yet I am a victim
at this evolutionary thing in there is something going on with the chemistry my
brain
I K control myself so if you then Edin but working Miley Cyrus and a big boner
bender
the rape you yep outside just to get this what guys do
that's what he's saying columnist for The Washington Post that
is saying that guys can't help but be rapists any as a column
at the washington post and I mention that I don't you gonna get invited to
his Christmas Bird I hope so
brother you know to bring 'em something
probably funny I
