Jan. 4th, 2010 07:06 pmAnd so it happened the other day that I was so overcome with apathy that I followed a link to an old Misha Collins interview during which he and the interviewers touched upon an even older occurrence; the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. This owing to Misha Collins having once held the same intern position at the White House that would later be Ms Lewinsky's.
Of said position, Mr Collins found fit to pronounce that it was a "respectable" one when he was there, and that only later had she "sullied" it.
I can think of quite a few people in my circle of cool people who think this guy is the bees knees, so it saddens me to have to say this, but
Misha Collins, you can kiss my entire flabby ass.
I do not know the particulars about that old case, nor do I care or need to, in order to grasp one simple principle that apparently gave you the slip somewhere on your unimpeded white man's path to success:
Whenever anything untoward happens involving two people between whom there is a power imbalance, guess who - because of the power imbalance - subscribes the bulk of the culpability?
That's right.
So why are you blaming the other one? This is not only stupid, it is also quite remarkably cheap.
I'm willing to bet the entirety of my income from last year (which is probably somewhere in the vicinity of what you would bring in cash when going out) that you - having never met her - know very little about what led Ms Lewinsky to act as she did. I don't know either. I just know this:
Monica Lewinsky must have endured one of the absolute shittiest shit-storms in the history of shit-stormery. So you thought you'd score a few points for yourself by piling on a bit more? Big witty guy on top of the world!
"She brought it on herself!" screeches the stone-throwing mob, and Misha along with them, no doubt. Oh yeah? What do you know about it? You never met her, remember, let alone walked a mile in her shoes, so shut the fuck up, Prince Privilege, and stop scoring points you don't need off of people who are already on the ground bleeding.
