All Allred All the Time

Ari L. NoonanEditor's Essays

[img]1|left|Ari Noonan||no_popup[/img]I don’t remember the reason, but around 1992 I interviewed Gloria Allred for a newspaper story I was writing.

Remembering that both of us were almost 20 years younger, her pin-neat thoroughness and classy, impenetrable professionalism were impressive. We were the only two people in the conference room, seated at the end of a long, rectangular table, conversing quietly.

Digesting her words monopolized only half of my attention.

She was an attractive woman. I studied her features. Still scalded by a bitter divorce that has not yet died, I considered asking her out for dinner. Alas, the moment passed. Always obey your impulses, right? Regrettably, I did not. However, given our philosophical differences, the date probably would have crashed and burned by the appetizers.

Does She Glow in the Dark?

SuperGlo, as just-returned Larry Elder calls her, packs the largest, most insufferable ego west of Swish Obama. Innocently, she wandered into the center of the California political stage this week at the moment calculated to bring her the most publicity. Carefully adjusting her Who? Me? mask, she looked as child-like and dopey as those brainless students Jerry Lewis used to play on the screen in his younger days.

The comfy part about traveling with SuperGlo is that she could hop aboard a tramp steamer and be entirely at home. No, I am not calling her a steamer.

Except for Swishie, I know of no bigger media whore than Ms. Allred. The two of them, the Boobsie Twins, are shameless, narcissistic, unembarrassable. Except for her unrefined nastiness, her cultured meanness, her unremitting anger and uncontrollable sense of revenge, she is no different from thousands of other lawyers.

What Will the Final Score Be?

Hard to say how SuperGlo’s latest self-induced news abortion will turn out.

A nails-hard liberal, she badly wants Jerry Brown to defeat Meg Whitman, which is entirely why this insatiable egoist yesterday produced an illegal alien formerly in Ms. Whitman’s employ just at a time when sagging Jerry Boy needed an electoral boost. Then she called another press conference for today. Whores never forget their appetite.

Ms. Allred means to wound Ms. Whitman just enough to lose.

Have you ever noticed that she and Alan Dershowitz seem to lose a lot of cases, despite their notoriety and talent for hogging camera-time? She tried this same kind of midnight stunt — doesn’t the old dog know any new tricks, just the same dirty one? — against Gov. Arnold a few years ago. When it did not work, she slinked away. She has a lot of practice at slinkery.

Ms. Whitman, whom the media detests, and Mr. Brown, whom the media cuddles, duel in their next debate on Saturday in Fresno. It was reported this afternoon that an interchangeable motley crew of labor unionists and Democrats will assemble in Fresno to protest Ms. Whitman’s suddenly sophisticated illegal alien. (SuperGlo always seems to have a bucket of paint nearby to turn her tons of low-class clients into instantly sophisticated slugs.

Liberals are unintentionally funny people if you catch them in that sliver of time when they are being officious.

On his 9 to 12 program on KABC radio this morning, Mr. Elder repeatedly referred to Ms. Allred’s latest playtoy as an “illegal alien.” SuperGlo angrily resisted the designation. She kept referring to her toy in that clumsy manner that the left eagerly embraces, an “undocumented worker.” Ah, those words make me feel so good all over, which is every leftist’s objective.
