Not to take one single smidgen of a thing away from Jonah Goldberg, whom I enjoy and respect in equal and enormous measure, but Kevin Williamson is to me the most interesting thinker at National Review. Today he takes on Girls girl Lena Dunham, who he says in one sense
may truly be the voice of her generation: The enormous affluence and indulgence of her upbringing did not sate her sundry hungers for adoration, for intellectual respect that she has not earned, for the unsurpassable delight of moral preening but instead amplified and intensified her sense of entitlement. The Brooklyn of Girls is nothing more or less than a 21st-century version of the Malibu Barbie Dreamhouse, with New York City taxis standing in for the pink Corvette. Writers naturally indulge their own autobiographical and social fantasies, from Brideshead Revisited to The Lord of the Rings, but Girls represents a phenomenon distinctly of our time: the fantasy not worth having.

Lena does not have a not ugly side.
Her parents raised her to be a sick puppy it sounds like, and she basically admitted to pretty much molesting her little sister as a child.
crazy
You should stay ignorant of her then, it is better that way. Do not seek knowledge of which you will regret.
the second page is worse
A disgusting, fat, liberal actress who enjoys taking off her clothes. She is truly repulsive, and a dirty hipster.
How many sides does a sphere have???
Ditto
and crying while eating Peanut butter bon bons?
I dated a girl that looked like her once - and only once.
She brings to mind that classic joke about the blind man walking by the fish market, tipping his hat, and proclaiming “Good morning, ladies!”
It’s fascinating the way this is percolating through the media. Miss Dunham publishes a book. Mr. Williamson reviews the book. This guy reviews the review. Etc., etc. As P.J. O’Rourke once said, “If figure out how any real information gets into this loop, please let me know.”
where’s the pretty side?
I started watching an episode of “Girls” after reading a few articles that this was some sort of trenchant social commentary type program. After ten minutes I switched over to another program to avoid falling asleep. In those ten minutes I watched were several characters whining and complaining about things I had no interest. It’s simply a very dull program filled with very dull characters.
I would care less if Lena Dunham was an anonymous slob and pig. What pisses me off is so many young women taking their cues from her and seeing her as someone to respect and look up to.
Plus Dunhams very public shilling for Obama. She exemplifies a lot of what is wrong with some of our young people. These young brainwashed skulls full of mush
She’s the “star” if some stupid HBO show no one watches and now thinks she’s the Oracle of Delphi....
and she is naked a lot...
Seconded
I must have tuned out too early. The ten minutes I watched was just Dunham and a friend complaining about men. I don't have to tune in to a tv show to hear that.....I can listen to my wife and her daughters when they get together. And anyway, shouldn't Dunham be an argument against public nudity?
well the old saying was coyote ugly.....how about 360 ugly
Read the whole thing myself...
Yes she is ...one very sick puppy
No wonder the left loves her...
