More on the crazy of Ann Althouse

Jamison yesterday mentioned the crazy of Althouse's blog post about the G8 image that lots of irresponsible bloggers (like Althouse) used to bash Obama. But I think her contribution deserves an even closer look.
Get a load of Althouse's Creative Writing class submission:
Now, swivel your eyes over to Obama's feet. The foot closest to the woman, like Sarkozy's, is planted and aimed forward, but the other steps off in the direction of the woman, bending the knee upward into a bit of a crotch-squeeze and forming the base of a dramatic tilt of the entire body into a flexible S-shape that leans toward the woman. Obama's arms hang free, emphasizing the tilt, and either gravity or will causes the left arm to hang inches away from the torso. See how much lower the right hand is than the left? His neck is craned out and around so that the line of sight is directly at the ass. His mouth is open as if to say: That's what I want.
Just total nut house stuff, right? But it gets better because as everybody now knows after watching the video of the pointless encounter, Obama was not looking at the young girl. In fact, he was preparing, in a gentlemanly fashion, to help another young participant take a step down the podium. Obama never even looked at the woman in question, let alone gawked at her.
So how does Althouse deal with that fact?
Behold the wonder:
AND: Yes, I have seen the video, and I stand by my analysis of the still photograph.
What??? Althouse stands by her photo "analysis" (boy, that's a generous term), even though the whole world knows that the image was a false and misleading one. Meaning, Althouse comically deconstructed Obama leering at a young girl even though he never did that. Confronted with that uncomfortable fact, Althouse says that she doesn't care and that she's going to stick to the false image; she's going to stick to her parallel universe where Obama bends his knee into a "crotch-squeeze."
Could Althouse announce any more succinctly that she has no regard for the facts or the real world?
I doubt it.

All I can say is this: I enjoy reading MMFA and they do a wonderful job of debunking conservative myths, falsehoods and fear-mongering.
But I wish I had never gone to Althouse's blog, linked from MMFA.
That entry was so despicable and so ugly that I do not think I will ever be able to reconcile the ravings of what appears to be an intelligent person with the blinding ignorance of her blog.
And if you haven't, be sure to get your fill of "yecch, she really said that, and the comments are even worse" by going to the Althouse link above.
A bunch of sick puppies over there. Even after seeing the video that thoroughly disproves the depiction of Obama in the photo, Ann Althouse still claims that the video didn't sway her opinion one bit.
This is the kind of idiocy that Media Matters is trying to combat.
I know what I know, if you know what I mean.... Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep."
Reality is NOT a concept the teabagging terrorists are familiar with. This is just more proof of that fact.
How did this turn into the Zapruder home movie footage? HOW?
Back and to the left...
Yes, Ann. Onion rings = vagina.
She's a self-absorbed whack job who even the NYT gives credence to, as the asked her as a "law expert" to offer up questions she'd ask Sotomayor.
The bar for experts seems to be pretty low in our "liberal" media.
