Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.

via Tapped, this telling quote from Conservative columnist John Derbyshire:

Did I buy, or browse, a copy of the November 17 GQ, in order to get a look at Jennifer Aniston's bristols?** No, I didn't. While I have no doubt that Ms. Aniston is a paragon of charm, wit, and intelligence, she is also 36 years old. Even with the strenuous body-hardening exercise routines now compulsory for movie stars, at age 36 the forces of nature have won out over the view-worthiness of the unsupported female bust.

It is, in fact, a sad truth about human life that beyond our salad days, very few of us are interesting to look at in the buff. Added to that sadness is the very unfair truth that a woman's salad days are shorter than a man's — really, in this precise context, only from about 15 to 20. The Nautilus and the treadmill can add a half decade or so, but by 36 the bloom is definitely off the rose. Very few of us, however, can face up to this fact honestly, and I am sure this diary item will generate more angry e-mails of protest than everything else I have written this month.

First of all, Jennfier Anniston is still hot, and "Derb" is a jackass.

Secondly, ew. Also, ew ew ew ew ew. "The Derb" was born between V-E and V-J days, making him 60 today. And he's saying he doesn't find women over 20 attractive, but does find 15-year-olds giving him lusty thoughts. Actually, it's even worse:

Conservatives, as I recall, are the ones who believe that "human nature has no history." It follows that we are at ease with the fact that the human female is visually attractive to the human male at, or shortly after, puberty, and for only a few brief years thereafter.

Puberty beginning at 9, this is incredibly disturbing.

Well, the Liberals may be pro-Child Porn, but the Cornerites are pro-Statutory Rape. I hope everybody is taking notes.
