VIDEO: What's wrong with "fat-shaming"?

What was it, exactly, that The Donald called Rosie O'Donnell? A fat slob? A pig? A porker? Ed. has chased down the New York Times account of how the feud started.

According to the Times, in 2006 Mr Trump "unleashed a verbal fusillade on Entertainment Tonight, calling Ms. O’Donnell 'disgusting' and 'a slob' with 'a fat, ugly face'. He said he wanted to take her to court so he could 'take some money out of her fat-ass pockets' and wondered aloud why anyone would choose to be in a romantic relationship with her.

"'We’re all a little chubby, but Rosie is just worse than most of us,' he said. 'But it's not the chubbiness. Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out.'

"Mr. Trump went on Late Show With David Letterman to talk about his dislike for Ms O'Donnell"...who had recently come out as a lesbian, calling her 'a degenerate'."

Yeah. "Degenerate". That was the part Walt had forgotten. Nowadays, the Times and their anointed candidate Shrillery Clinton would call that remark an example of Mr Trump's "homophobia". They've already labelled the rest "fat-shaming", which is yet another example of The Donald's persistent political incorrectness.

He did say that "we're all a little chubby" -- meaning all Americans, Walt presumes -- but that's something you just can't say any more, not even about yourself. Even as the American woman tips the scales at 166.2 lbs (in 2015), up from 140 lbs in 1960, the words "fat", "huuuuuge", "immense", "gargantuan", "enormous", [That's enough fat words. Ed.] have been banned from the language.

Political correctness was not always so pervasive. As recently as the 80s, fat jokes were a staple on Married With Children. Here's a mix. Hope you can enjoy them before the PC police have them removed from YouTube.

Ontario's lesbian Premier shunned in India

It's been some time since Walt had an agent in India [Applications to the usual address, please. Ed.] but I do follow the news from that awesome and awful country. I'm especially interested when Western leaders go on pilgrimages to the Land that Sanitation Forgot in search of enlightenment... or money!

Taxpayers of the Canadian province of Ontario know that the Liberal government they (incredibly) re-elected is desperate for the latter (= money), as their proudly lesbian Premier Kathleen Wynne and her cronies continue to spend like drunken sailors on computer systems that don't work and billions of beaverbucks to not build gas-fired power plants.

When you're broke, and your credit rating has been downgraded, the obvious thing to do is go to India begging for some foreign aid, or at least foreign investment. And that's just what the lovely Ms Wynne did, last week. Here she is, visiting the Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest of holy places, in Amritsar.

That's Ms Wynne on the right, in the fetching turquoise outfit. The person at left is Jane Rounthwaite, who is Ms Wynne's... errr... wife? husband? ... OK, "spouse", then. Gender and marriage roles are so confusing nowadays, which happens to be the point of Ms Wynne's new sex-ed curriculum. [Whatever happened to pedophiliac Dr. Benjamin Levin? Is he still in jail? Ed.]

Seems like the lovely couple's Indian hosts were as confused as Ontarians. Some of them, in fact, were downright hostile. Check out "Pro-gay Ontario premier runs into an ethical wall in Punjab", a front-page article in the staid Hindustan Times.

The Times reports that the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee "decided not to honour the Canadian leader with a siropa (robe of honour) during her visit to the Golden Temple on Sunday. Reason: Wynne, a lesbian, is a supporter of same-sex marriages, a practice opposed by the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs."

Premier Wynne, however, denies that there was any such edict. "It took me aback. But homophobia is not surprising," Ms Wynne told the Toronto Star. "We’ve just been through that in Ontario. We know that it’s there. The best antidote is to carry on. I feel strongly about going to the Golden Temple because it is such an important place for the country, but it’s such an important place for people in Ontario."

Presumably the Ontario people she referred to include the 1000s of Sikhs in ridings in Brampton and Mississauga who voted for Ms Wynne and her Liberal candidates in the last Ontario election, just as they did for pro-LGBT2S Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in October's federal election. There are now lots of turbaned Sikhs on government benches in both Ottawa and Toronto, none of whom seem to have a problem with Ms Wynne's "alternative lifestyle". Maybe Canadian Sikhs aren't as devout as their co-religionists back in Mother India?
