If Men Are Allowed To Get Knee Surgery Whenever They Want, Women Should Be Able To Keep Themselves From Getting Pregnant

by Juli Weiner  

Hey everyone Jonah Goldberg thinks that ladies get pregnant through their knees. This is the only possibly explanation. [via Instaputz]

It’s not like Jonah has ever had the sexytime, so can you blame him?

Lawndarts November 10, 2009 at 10:38 am

I’m one of Goldberg’s biggest fans. Always have been. I love that crazy sob.

AnnieGetYourFun November 10, 2009 at 10:40 am

A bum knee and a lifetime of raising a child that you are ill-equipped to deal with are EXACTLY THE SAME THING. WHY CAN’T YOU LIBRULS UNDERSTAND THAT?????!!?

MLHencken November 10, 2009 at 10:41 am

Can someone control Jonah’s body in such a way as to get him to punch himself repeatedly in the nuts?

Jim Demintia November 10, 2009 at 10:43 am

Jonah Goldberg fucks dogs.

Would the proposed Health Care Bill help those poor unfortunates who can’t string a series of words together to form a coherent sentence?

Prommie November 10, 2009 at 10:49 am

The first step in learning to make proper analogies is all their in the Sesame Street song “three of these things belong together, one of these things doesn’t belong.” The better you learn that little lesson, the more smarts you have. In fact, the entire process of “thinking” consists of discerning the appropriate, accurate analogies, kinda like we are analog computers and stuff. Jonah needs to rent a bunch of Sesame Street VHS tapes, thats what he needs to do, and sing along with that “three of these things belong together, one of these things doesn’t belong.” If he watches all of them, maybe he will “get it” and learn to make appropriate, accurate analogies, and then he may even learn to think logically, instead of magically.

4tehlulz November 10, 2009 at 10:49 am

So that’s why Jonah rubs his knees all the time.

Jerri November 10, 2009 at 10:49 am

I’m gonna knee surgery right in the balls.

HipHopOpotamus November 10, 2009 at 10:50 am

[re=454813]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: I’d say he has, but he has to prematurely stop the sexytime somewhere around the woman’s knees. Thus explaining his confusion.

TGY November 10, 2009 at 10:50 am

He’s understandably confused between the knee and the vagina. Could happen to anybody.

Katydid November 10, 2009 at 10:54 am

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I can translate pantload!

What Jonah is trying to say is, “My mommy is a Republican whore, was an unbearable authoritarian shit fuck to me, I’m ascared of vayjayjays, and my knees hurt because I can only soothe the pain of my tragic life by ingesting immense amounts of food every night while whacking off to the babbling sounds of Fox News teevee.”

Aflac Shrugged November 10, 2009 at 10:59 am

When you’re a columnist who is apparently paid in slabs of bacon, being able to have your knees repaired/replaced/buttressed is an important consideration.

In fact, if Jonah can’t have knee surgery at will, he may be forced to consider unproven alternatives.

PrairiePossum November 10, 2009 at 11:08 am

Jonah, if you agree to pay for the abortion, maybe one day a woman will agree to have sex with you. Until then, a knee is the the closest you will ever get to a vayjay.

?? Reps want a health system that says you can’t have knee surgery at all, and demand no abortions because women shouldn’t control their own bodies

doxastic November 10, 2009 at 11:19 am

Um, isn’t the reverse a little worse, like that Republicans think you should be able to get as many unnecessary procedures as possible but want to force women to carry all pregnancies to term? Pregnancy? No big deal. Meniscus tears? LIFE-RUINING!

I have the solution to this whole conundrum:

Mandatory vasectomies covered by the Public Option. Optional in vitero fertilization for the clock-ticker ladies.

Voila! Consequence-free sex with the pain of planned parenthood transferred to the guys.

It’s a plan that can get the support of the 51% majority of Americans (females).

No need to thank me. I’ll be in Canada saving my balls if anyone needs me.

I understand that abortions are only for bored professional women between nail appointments and picking up random men at a bar. But why did he zoom in on knee surgery? Is there something in the House bill that limits the number of knee surgeries?

Who’s kneeing Surgery? And what did Surgery do to them?

speedo November 10, 2009 at 11:44 am

Jonah is simply saying that if women want to control their bodies, then he gets to control his knees. Or, if women are allowed to abort their fetuses, then he should get to abort his knees. Or, if women get to have sex all the time and have the consequences covered, then he should get to kneel all the time and have the soreness covered. Or something.

CapnFatback November 10, 2009 at 11:45 am

Goldberg’s right, of course. A bill telling you when to knee surgery defeats the purpose. You gotta catch that mutha by surprise.

liquiddaddy November 10, 2009 at 11:50 am

Jonah, just because you get your prostate tickled every 60 days, doesn’t mean you can get a knee surgery at the drop of a hat.

You have amused me in the past, but now I wish you’d get put on a long waiting list for treatment of your raging ass cancer.

germansteel November 10, 2009 at 11:53 am

When Goldberg sees “Public option” he reads “Pubic option.”

Now I can’t say I’ve had an abortion, but I’ve had knee surgery and I had to wait six months for it because the insurance company refused to say my torn up knee was actually torn up. So, in other words, fuck you Jonah

PsycGirl November 10, 2009 at 12:05 pm

Maybe he got laid once because he got down on his knees and begged, thus the confusion. Although pity fucks only go so far.

Once again, to quote Gloria S. — “If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.”

Pop Socket November 10, 2009 at 12:16 pm

I was told in grade school that the best form of birth control for a girl was for her to hold an aspirin between her knees. Maybe Jonah had the same lesson and just didn’t quite understand it.

pampl November 10, 2009 at 12:18 pm

I guess he’s saying you can only get knee surgery when it threatens your life or in the case of incest??

Prommie November 10, 2009 at 12:26 pm

Jonah is upset about the words “on demand.” Now, of course, abortion is never “on demand,” but there is this phrase “on demand” floating in their heads. Jonah is upset that abortion is going to be “on demand,” while knee surgery is not “on demand.”

Although, as I said, abortion is not on demand, you have to go to a doctor and ask for one, and they will only do it if 1. You need one (are pregnant) and 2. you are medically fit to have one. The funny thing is, this is just as “on demand” as knee surgery. First off, you don’t have to go to a doctor if your knee is fucked up, you could just gimp around. So really, you have to go “demand” or “ask for” treatment. Noone ever just runs up to you and performs knee surgery on you. And then, the doctor will only perform the knee surgery if 1.you need it, and 2. you are medically fit. So really, the exact same procedures and rules apply to both of these things. But he thinks they are different things, because he has a horror at what some call “abortion on demand,” “On demand” being a euphemism for “by choice.” But as I said before, all surgery is by choice, it is actionable battery to perform surgery on someone without consent.

Jonah is just a dumbfuck from dumbfuckistan.

SmutBoffin November 10, 2009 at 12:26 pm

[re=454823]Prommie[/re]: Jonah is just not good at abstract thinking. That’s why he’s on “Republican disability” (= NR/Weekly Standard/Wash Post editorial writer). Come to think of it, he also doesn’t do so well at the whole cause/effect thing. Nor quantitative reasoning.

Shit, I guess he’ll just have to do what he does know how to do — wander around, lightly stroking his unit, until people pay him to go away.

Women should control their own reproductive rights. Jonah should get a vasectomy.

Decker November 10, 2009 at 12:41 pm

This is COMPLETELY understandable, since Captain Kirk had to kick an alien in the knees while trapped on an ice planet prison in Star Trek VI and it turned out that those aliens kept their genitals on their knees (how lucky was that?!), and in America that alien wouldn’t be able to get reconstructive knee surgery or reconstructive testicular surgery because we don’t take care of no criminal illegals that sneak over from the ice planet Quebec Juarez.

My point is, seeing Star Trek VI is the closest Pantload has ever come to impregnating anyone, since there were girls at the movie theater.

Jim89048 November 10, 2009 at 12:44 pm

[re=454921]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I’ve had 4 knee surgeries, and the only one that happened when it was actually acutely necessary was when I was a young poor on the public option, ie: Medi-Cal. The other 3 times I’ve been put on some kind of waiting list while they looked into my insurance and financials, to determine if it was medically and/or financially expeditious to perform said surgery.

And why doesn’t Jonah want women to have knee surgery?

So where do I sign up for Jonah’s current affordable comprehensive insurance plan? I assume that since these fuckwads all keep whining about how bad our insurance is going to get and how nothing beyond abortions and euthanasia will be covered under the Public Option that there is presently a better choice. Surely the dyslexics in charge of conservative talking points haven’t convinced their fellow members that “America, Fuck Yeah!” really should have been “Fuck America, Yeah!”

Another GOP dickwad about abortion who makes me think of MY plan to end ALL (well, most) abortions. When every boy in the country reaches puberty, he is taken to a semen bank to make several generous deposits, and then vasectomized. Then there will be no unplanned pregnancies. No scared/sheepish/teens, either of the liberal or conservative, secular or holy-roller persuasion. A pregnancy will be by golly PLANNED in the future world. And in that future world, girls and women won’t so much get the shit for crossing the yelling lines of Xians to get into the clinic while the boy-inpregnator gets off completely.

There will still need to be some for trisomy-18 and Tay-Sachs and that kind of thing, which our compassionate conservatives will still try to prevent, but there won’t be as many.

It’s too late about Jonah, though–to my sorrow and chagrin.

Cicada November 10, 2009 at 3:46 pm

True story: I waited 8 years to get knee surgery (reconstructed ACL and meniscus repair) because I didn’t have insurance. During that time I racked up a number of ER visits when my knee locked up because a flap of meniscus was caught in the joint. And yes, that is as painful as it sounds.

So, meh, Jonah.

Jukesgrrl November 10, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Chubby’s insurance company probably refused to cover his knee operation due to the injury being self-inflicted (or pre-existing since birth). STILL he can’t see the value of the British system and blames it on wimmin. That qualifies as willful ignorance AND misogyny.

Okay, I waited, but Nobody came up with this obvious reference:

Movie — something @ a Missionary, an Episcopal Missionary.

Starring — John Cleese as the Missionary, recently returned to England from Africa, where the tribe, upon hearing said Missionary was engaged to be married and soon to be joining her in holy wedlock, gave him a Giant Rhino horn (yes the ironies continue!)

Situation: John Cleese, Episcopal Minister now in England, has been given an assignment to bring to the fold the “fallen women,” the local (prostitutes).

Scene: Where John tells his betrothed he is “ministering” to the “fallen” women:

Her reply: “Women who have hurt their knees?” –

Perhaps the pro-choice group in Congress could put in an amendment of their own: viagra cannot be part of any Health Insurance policy. I can imagine quite a few of the long in the tooth male anti-choicers would balk at that.

You know being who i am and the high opinion i have of Jonah Goldberg, I’m not supposed to side with your derision and disrespect for him.
But allow me to say this, and it may be the only chance you get hear me cuss, this is the most retarded muthafuckin statement i’ve ever seen in my life.
