Wow, a compassionate leftist. Who knew. |
I honestly think she's in turmoil because she's never been eaten.
Write your own joke.

STEVE Irwin had embarrassed millions of Australians, Germaine Greer said last night.
And those who had mourned him with their tributes at the Irwin family's Australia Zoo in what the British had labelled "a Princess Diana moment" were idiots, she said.
British-based Greer wrote in The Guardian newspaper after Irwin's death that the animal world had taken revenge on "self-deluded animal tormentor Steve Irwin".
Last night, she went even further.
She told Channel 9's A Current Affair she did not understand Australians' feelings of loss for Irwin.
She said he had exploited animals by telling the world how dangerous they were and then treating them disrespectfully.
"I find the whole Steve Irwin phenomenon (embarrassing) -- and I'm not the only person who did," Greer said.
But when pushed, she was unable to name anyone who had publicly agreed with her.
She rejected claims her sentiments were "un-Australian".
"I don't care what I'm being called," Greer said.
"I just hope I'm out of touch with what idiots are thinking."

Her pathetic attempt to denigrate him is only hurting her.
OH, come on! You could return to the Church because of me and the Horde :-).
Do I have to go to North Carolina to get Mass? :P
Evil as evil does..Germain should know.
Kind of a telling quote from her, eh? Especially with regards to the subject of the thread.
She said he had exploited animals by telling the world how dangerous they were and then treating them disrespectfully.
LOL, "exploited animals and treated them disrespectfully"... little strongly worded there for souless critters (sorry dog and cat people, they are souless critters and there is no doggie and catty heaven, flame away to your hearts content)... sounds like she is grasping with the Peta mentality here. Here is a clue lady, they are animals, something God put us above... deal with it... disrespect is what you can do to Steve Irwin, but not to an stingray/rabbit/ape...
But on the other hand, he was a puddinhead liar when he made statements that "he was a professional" and didn't put his child in danger. It is one thing to put himself in danger (we all do if we work in some degree) to make a living for his family, but when you distort the truth that he was in complete control at all times with wild animals, well it is was pure posh... Now on the other hand, it is his family, and if Michael Jacksons and Wild Bill's want to do that to their family... well more power to them I guess. I sure as heck don't care for some busy bodies to come gripe me out for riding my kids on my lawnmower (a big no-no according to the hyper busybodies)...
So all in all, yeah, I agree this this lady (or other terms expressed by posters here) is sorta a little prunish and self serving.
Steve was an idiot, but he was his own idiot and did it with all the gusto that made him an icon to others. I sorta liked him too (idiot envy you might say)...
Some of the stuff from the Wiki article. What a nut bar.
“Women don't realize how much men hate them, Greer argued, and how much they are taught to hate themselves.”
“Greer argued that change had to come about by revolution, not evolution. Women should get to know and come to accept their own bodies, taste their own menstrual blood, and give up celibacy and monogamy. But they should not burn their bras. "Bras are a ludicrous invention," she wrote, "but if you make bralessness a rule, you're just subjecting yourself to yet another repression."”
“ Female genital mutilation had to be considered in context, she wrote, and might be compared with breast augmentation in the West. The book consequently attracted a great deal of criticism.”
“In 2003, The Beautiful Boy was published, an art history book about the beauty of teenage boys, richly illustrated with 200 photographs of what The Guardian called "succulent teenage male beauty",”
so you are saying that through his death he brought out another of wildlifes oddities...
on display, by its own choice is the red breasted bull dyke. this particularly dangerous and mailicious clip haired hag cannot refuse the opportunity to mimmick the basic common ass as cover make an assault on anyone. Anyone, anytime , anyplace - typically excepting females. You will note it's mean faced, dried out hide show that it is tough and hardy - out of necessity for thinking it has unusually large cajones. Fact is it only wants to be heard and the only real danger posed is making an incredibly large ass of itself.
You may want to ask what makes this creature soooo mean? Like KD Lang it prefers a vegetarian diet with no meat. Some of the aggressive behavior may come directly from gleaning the last from the salad dressing jar.
Either way, assaults by the red breasted jar licker should be taken lightly as it is the nature of the beast... malicious and low in respect for itself and others.
I'm sitting here, eating a quick meal from Mickey D's and you go and post that crap. You know, I'm willing to forgive a lot of things - but that...you're on the list now...
;)
I so want to write her and ask, "And who are you again?" I never heard of this woman before.
LOL! She will never be out of touch with what idiots are thinking, as long as she is able to think.
CRIKEY!
Steve Irwin I have heard of,but never this old bit** till she started running her foul rotten mouth
"And those who had mourned him with their tributes at the Irwin family's Australia Zoo in what the British had labelled 'a Princess Diana moment' were idiots, she said."
What an uncouth, despicable old witch.
Oh ya... and she's ugly too!

I couldn't agree more. Anyone have a photo of the hag?
***This dried-out, prune-like, silly old b*tch is a disgrace. ***
What does one expect from someone who had never done anything constructive with her miserable life.
So this idiot is happy that a human being was killed? Sick.
Coming from a well known pursuer of red snapper, that's a bit rich.
