NRA threatens the New York Times with a.....fisting?

Courtesy of The Hill: 

Conservative political pundit and National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch took on The New York Times in a video posted by the NRA on Friday in which she says "we're coming for you." 

"We've had it with your constant protection of your Democrat overlords, your refusal to acknowledge any truth that upsets the fragile construct that you believe is real life," Loesch told the Times in the video. 

"And we've had it with your pretentious, tone-deaf assertion that you are in any way truth or fact-based journalism," Loesch continued. 

"Consider this the shot across your proverbial bow. We're going to fist the New York Times and find out just what deep rich means to this old gray hag. This untrustworthy, dishonest rag that has subsisted on the welfare of mediocrity for one, two, three more decades?

"We're going to laser-focus on your so-called 'honest pursuit of truth.' In short, we're coming for you," Loesch said in the video.

Uhhh, so is the NRA threatening the new York Times with violence, of some kind of super aggressive sex play.

As you know I am just an innocent from up North, but isn't "fisting" something that should only take place between two consenting adults, and not inflicted on another person as a form of punishment? #Askingforafriend.

As it turns out, thanks to Dana Loesh's killer spokesperson skills, I, like many others, misheard Loesch who now claims that what she said was,  "We're going to FISK the New York Times."

Huh?

She later took to Twitter to defend herself.
Okay well I am fairly well read, and pride myself on having a rather extensive vocabulary, and I have NEVER heard the word "fisk" before.

So I guess I will leave it up to each of you to decide whether or not Dana Loesch offered to sexually gratify the staff of the New York Times,  or whether she is simply making up her own batshit crazy vocabulary as she goes along.

I could not have said it better myself.

I am proud to admit that my vast vocabulary includes many colorful variations of the word "fuck."

Because I am just that well educated.

We have a new word of the day, and I think most of you are going to quickly add it to your vocabulary.

WARNING! If you have not yet watched the July 10th episode of "True Blood." and don't want to hear any spoilers, then stop reading now.

Vampires Eric and his progeny Pam attended a Ted Cruz fundraiser supposedly held at the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas to search for the parents of their enemy, Sarah Newlin. 

Trying to blend in, Eric dons a Western-style suit with a bolo instead of a necktie while Pam puts on a purple dress worthy of a gala on either side of the aisle. 

 But when she catches a glimpse of herself in a mirror, Pam utters a line that would light up Twitter:


I usually kick out comments using the "C" word but I am afraid that I cannot resist adding "Republicunt" to my repertoire. And I have a feeling that Sarah Palin will quickly find a reason to really hate "True Blood" in the next several weeks.

Personally that line made me laugh out loud, and the fact that this happened at a Ted Cruz fundraiser in the George W. Bush Library just made it all the funnier.

So good.
