Ann Althouse

Ann Outhouse Althouse is a law professor, blogger, and tenured basket-case at the University of Wisconsin. In her off-time she runs an eponymous blog, which has served as a repository for Clinton-centered conspiracy theories and drunken video logs of reality TV programs since 2004.
==Politics==
Politically, Althouse is generally described as centrist or center-left, something which must come as a shock to those who actually follow her, given her support of George W. Bush, her hatred of Bill and (especially) Hillary Clinton, her repeated promotion of Instapundit,See here her generally conservative readership and her flogging of right-wing smears2 world leaders demonstrate the 2 ways of conspicuously gawking at a woman's ass - filed under the highly classy category "Assgawkgate" and conspiracy theories."Nearly every 'fix' has gone for Mr. Franken, in some cases under strange circumstances." Note the hilarious push poll at the bottom of the post. However, she describes herself as "lifelong Democrat"Here, for example so she has got to be a liberal.
==Breastgate==
In September 2006, Bill Clinton had lunch with a group of bloggers in New York City. As part of the meeting, they took a group picture. You can see it here. To a normal person, this looks like a run-of-the-mill group shot. Of course, Althouse is not a normal person.
Althouse dashed off a brief post on the meeting, ending with the picture and the cryptic comment "Let's just array these bloggers... randomly."Bill Clinton, lunching with the bloggers Her commenters quickly picked up on Althouse's implications, namely that the woman in the front (Who turned out to be Jessica Valenti of Feministing) was a "raging slut". Eventually, Valenti showed up to defend herself, so Althouse decided to expand into another post entitled (no joke) "Let's take a closer look at those breasts." Althouse made no bones of the fact that she considered Valenti a raging slut and a betrayer of feminism:
Her commenters were in fine form, with such tasteless comments as "It's obvious that you're bending over backwards -- figuratively and literally -- to keep the attention on your breasts" and "Jessica should have worn a beret. Blue dress would have been good too." Actually, we kid; It was Althouse who said those things.
A plethora of bloggers rose to Valenti's defense,The "dirty pillow" line of attack, Feministing and Althouse was forced to concede that her attack was poorly thought out declared that she was bored with it all and would no longer respond to criticism.Comments, comments, comments With that, the controversy went into hibernation.
===The Bloggingheads Interview===
In March 2007, Althouse was interviewed for the website Bloggingheads.tv by blogger Garance Franke-Ruta. Things went smoothly until Franke-Ruta mentioned "the Jessica Valenti breast controversy." The sound of those words made Althouse go from zero-to-rampaging-boar in under six seconds:
After becoming the laughing stock of the blogosphere (again), Althouse responded to the mockery, stating that she was sorry for her immature overreaction she was planning on ignoring all criticism.Things I'm not talking about
