So, a nice fellow e-mailed me an article from something called
Gelf Magazine. It's an interview with Anthony Moniello. You remember Anthony, don't you? Anthony was one of the characters in the great wingman article that the Post published in May, 2006. This was the article that started my long and fruitful love affair with Laura Sessions Stepp. I am saddened to see that LSS didn't disclose that Moniello was a student of hers at George Washington. I didn't learn much in college, but I did
stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night ace Journalism and Ethics. Tsk tsk, Mrs. Stepp. If
I know better, then a Pulitzer Prize winning "journalist" should certainly know better.
As for the interview, it's freaking hilarious. Moniello is, to put it concisely, a dumb prick. See:
The Yankees hat and the necklace are nice touches. I hope he lies his way in to sleeping with someone with the clap. His pee deserves to burn.
I would link to my take on the original wingman article, but my archives are down. Coincidentally, I notice that I've been switched over to "New" Blogger. I doubt this is a coincidence.
UPDATE: Here we go!

Now, now. He looks like such a nice boy.
ReplyDeleteThe top "necklace" could just be a backward lanyard!
ReplyDeleteDouchebag doesn't even scratch the surface!
Wow. Even if I were drunk, the sight of anyone looking like that would instantly curdle my sex drive.
ReplyDeletei see somebody beat me to it, but i was going say that i especially love the lanyard.
ReplyDeletehahahahahahah, I am acquainted with this "person". hilarious to now read this and find your long standing dislike. While I was always steadfastly assured in my hatred, it is nice to have a 3rd party confirmation.
ReplyDeleteI bet he has enough money to be able to pop that collar at bars.
ReplyDeleteI popped my collar in a meeting yesterday. It pretty much went down like this.
ReplyDelete"These numbers are crap!" sez boss.
"Hold on" sez me
Collar pops, Firworks shoot in the air over me, a little razzle dazzle if you will.
"These numbers are great!" sez boss.
"I know!" sez me.
My thumb goes up, freeze the shot, cue the 80's music.
"She was writing a book about the dating world and she had me working on an article for the Post about "gray rape," which is when if the female is drunk, it's rape…period."
ReplyDeleteARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I actually find the idea that "if the female is drunk, it's rape…period" insulting, and I think it diminishes how cruel and horrible rape truly is.
I'm as disgusted by rape as anyone else, but this is a bit silly, no? If all drunk sex is rape, I've been raped by my long-term boyfriend at least 10 times.
I know that it's possible to be too drunk to truly consent, but it's also possible to be drunk, yet still lucid and functional, and give consent. Does LSS think all women turn into blacked-out slobs as soon as the booze hits our lips?
Read her book. The answer is "yes."
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't believe I missed the fucking lanyard.

seriously. it's dudes like him that make being single in DC so utterly terrible. this town is a wasteland of dbags.
ReplyDeleteWhen this guy's hair isn't obscured by his douche helmet (my personal term for the backwards fitted cap worn down to the eyebrows), it's probably caked in half a jar of LA looks styling gel.
ReplyDeleteNichole- don't worry sweetie, you just haven't discovered me yet.
I hate New Blogger too.
ReplyDeleteIt cause me to swear a blue streak for about a week...and it still won't let me change my profile picture.
And occasionally when I sign in it sends me to Never Neverland where I have no blog, it has never heard of me, and I do not exist in any form other than just my sign-in name.
Tremendous improvement..let me tell you.
Oh..and I now have to copy any comments I want to make on anyone else's blogs because they frequently disapear in order to make me bizarrely paranoid enough to blieve that a guy I dated who works for Google has made it his life mission to destroy me.
Rusty is a Douche......
