Perez Hilton frequently strikes in me the image of a dog whimpering and covering its genitals with its tail. Every so often a story comes up where he seems to be bickering with someone over some incendiary thing he said.

From there, all the other rags were attacking Hilton for “comparing black women to Hitler.” Don’t get me wrong — I think Perez is a moron — but allowing people to run with the ball this far and this hard would be irresponsible of me. We love to infer ridiculous “commentary” from words rather than writing them off as the ramblings of someone not competent to utter them (which is most of us).
