The elites who run the Empire State Building
Bill Donohue is in a huge giant rage again, this time because he ordered the people who manage the Empire State Building to illuminate it with blue and white lights one day in order to celebrate the birthday of “Mother Teresa” and it didn’t obey.
Well – there are only 365 days in the year and the people who run the ESB can’t obey every single time someone orders them to illuminate the building in order to celebrate X, so why is Donohue all tied in knots? Because “Mother Teresa” is obviously one of the 365 most important and wonderful people of all time and therefore should get one of the 365 days there are in the year? Please. That must be why though, because nothing else fits. But what makes Bill Donohue think MT is all that important and wonderful? Apart from relentless PR by the short Albanian sadist, of course.
Well – she’s Catholic – and – well she’s Catholic, and Catholics are like a totally persecuted minority, so if a Catholic doesn’t get her birthday celebrated on the Empire State Building when Bill Donohue says it should be, then…Well it’s an elitist plot, that’s what, and Bill Donohue and Bill O’Reilly (do we sense a theme here?) are going to make a big stink about it, so there.
One wonders what world the elites who run the Empire State Building live in. Besides siding with the Communists and dissing Catholics, they are just plain stupid. If they think they can ride this out, they have no idea what they are dealing with.
Ah – out come the threats. Suitable for a loyal Catholic perhaps – he must have grown up steeped in threats and bullying – but not very pretty to watch.
Bill Donohue and George Pitcher: making religion look bad in every way they can think of.
Hat-tip to Miranda.
“Imagine a spokesman for the Vatican responding to a reporter about an indefensible decision made by a cardinal, and all he offers is, “there is no issue here.”
That’s both hilarious and ironic. The spokesmen for the Vatican have been doing just that for years…
Sure they do. They’re dealing with a vicious bunch of thugs.
Lets hear more and more from Bill Donohue and George Pitcher. They will hasten the end of theism by their offensive speech and uncivilized demeanor. I love seeing it rot from within in front of the entire world.
It didn’t hit me the first time I read it. Then I realized, this is the Catholic League. By the elites they mean the Jews.
Oh, gawd, the Catholic League is keeping a list of media coverage of Donohue’s “worldwide campaign” and they’ve titled it:
The smugness, it BURNS. So ridiculous.
And then there’s this awful article about the campaign, from a blogger at Townhall.com (a nutty right-wing site). I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at its comments section, which includes this little gem:
Will someone please pick Bill Donohue’s binkie up off the street? It seems he’s thrown it out of the pram, and he’s all fussy. Also, would someone please apply soothing ointment to his little bottom, and maybe a little powder to help with the chafing?
Good grief.
He wants the ESB to do this for free? What kind of American is he? If MT is that important, it can’t be that hard to have a collection and fork over a coupla million to pay for the lights.
Those darn commie pinko’s can’t be bothered decking the Empire State Building with red flags and portraits of Uncle Joe and Comrade Lenin to commemorate the October Revolution either.
Ever since that King Kong business they’ve tried not to draw attention to themselves.
Kenneth.pidcock: ‘By the elites they mean the Jews.’
Yep, ‘metropolitan elites’, ‘New York liberals’ and ‘Holywood cabal’ all boil down to the same thing.
What a mad, mad world we live in! And it seems to get madder every day! It makes one weep! But Mother Teresa – ‘short Albanian sadist’ is very good!
Nice to see they realise that cardinals can make indefensible decisions. I think this is a step in the right direction.
Free PR! For the Empire State Building!! Which otherwise blushes unseen – god that’s beyond hilarious.
I didn’t make the elites=Jews connection. Der – of course.
“If they think they can ride this out, they have no idea what they are dealing with.
OB, I see what you bluming mean when you say riding it out.
In 1983″ Pope John Paul II recognized Blum’s service by naming him a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.
Those aren’t my words, Mo, they’re Bill “the Bully” Donohue’s.
Yes, Billy has made quite a few anti-Semitic remarks over the years, including this doozy from 2004:
And that second paragraph? Pure. Comedy. Gold. “Hollywood likes anal sex”!
Of course he’s not afraid to say it! Nothing will happen to him if he says it, so why should he be afraid?
This is the man who triggered Crackergate, so in a way he’s responsible for the whole War Between New Atheists and Accommodationists. Oh the humanity…
Miranda,
You’re right about that second paragraph being a “doozy. ” Compare the statement, “I like children” which was no doubt meant to mean something completely appropriate, to his more recent assertion that the pedophile scandal was about homosexuality rather than pedophilia because children become “post-pubescent” at 12-13-years-old.
It’s mind-boggling how repugnant this fraction of a man is.
‘Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions.’
The hell kinda Hollywood movies has he been watching? Hollywood likes blowing shit up.
Just how many blockbusters feature anal sex and abortion? Did I miss something when I nipped to the toilet during Avatar? Maybe it’s in the Director’s Cut.
And if they’re having anal sex why do they *need* abortions?
Bill Donohue’s Screenwriting Seminar:
“Listen up, you namby-pamby writers. Lemme tell you something: those secular, Catholic-hatin’ Hollywood liberal types will buy your screenplay only if it includes at least five abortions, some anal sex, and a few images of the public square without nativity scenes. Got it?”
Hahahahahahahahahaha – great punchline, Shatterface. Why indeed?!
@ J. C. Samuelson: Ooh, yes, good catch! This “I like children”, right after speaking about Hollywood’s supposed sexual preferences? Oh, the irony!
