AN OPEN LETTER TO GREG GUTFELD AT FOX NEWS BLOGS

Dear Greg,

I just read your post comparing Barack Obama to a "really hot chick". I must say that I am dismayed and disgusted at your allegories. Must have been a slow news day eh? I have heard some pretty obscure arguments, but you my friend, take the cake. First, as an Obama supporter, I am outraged that you would belittle a prominent figure to that extent. I myself, critical of Palin, was disgusted at the repeated references to her as a VPILF, because I felt it belittled what talent she may have. To belittle a man who has taken himself from nothing to being inches away from the White House, who has inspired more Americans to be good to others and hopeful for the future, and put that on a stripper pole? Who the hell do you think you are? You blog for Fox? Wow, impressive.

I understand the shock value in posting this message on a blog, you will get lots of traffic and lots of comments, but like a disobedient child you care not for the quality of the attention you receive and probably consider all press good press. Again, from Fox, not surprising. But yet still equally disgusting.

My second bone to pick with you concerns the image that you paint of "really hot chicks". You just provided us with some insight into your sexual preferences, leaving a great deal of room for speculation on your own sexual health. If this is what you equate with really hot; a dumb, money grubbing STD infested stripper, then we all have to sit back and have a chuckle at how badly you are failing at that particular avenue of your life. But your personal paraphilias aside, one has to point out how incredibly misogynist that statement is, in and of itself. Have some respect for women, we don't live in 1955 anymore. I can't even be bothered to exhaust the energy telling you why that statement was sexist, and disgusting because you should already know better.

And just a reminder, if you and your friends weren't there every Tuesday night with your slimy singles in hand, neither would those women with their perfect implants, taking the money that you throw on stage.

I honestly feel a little sorry for you. It is obvious that you know nothing of women or politics, and yet you strive to write about both. Good for you for trying anyway.

Sincerely,
Jenn Astle
