Is Patti Stanger Good For The Jews?
LatestPatti, Patti, Patti… Oy vey ismir. You are to dating and relationships what Sarah Silverman is to comedy. By nature of your personality alone, you force us to choose: We either love you or we (really) don’t. And, Patti, I love you. Really, I do. In spite of your overzealous relationship with the flat iron, I think you’re interesting. And while being out there and stoking the fires of controversy as you do is edgy, generalizing about an entire community is like getting drunk on the edge of a cliff: Really fucking stupid.
In a culture of media spin that leaves one dizzy, your ferocity and fearlessness is refreshing. Even though I disagree with many things you say, I like that you aren’t afraid to tell it as you see it. And I know others have agreed with me. (Because let’s be real: You sure didn’t skyrocket to fame on your charm.)
But your remarks about philandering gays and lying Jewish men on Watch What Happens Live? A shanda for the Goyim, Patti.(Or, in plain English, “way to make Our People look bad, Patti.”) And poor Andy Cohen. Poor guy almost plotzed. He got hit by a one-two sucker punch when you bashed the gay community and the Jewish community all during the same airtime. And yet, you kept right on going. I could practically hear the sound of shovel on dirt while you dug your own grave.
Come on, Patti. You’re not stupid. You wouldn’t have made it this far if you were.
Maybe you think because you’re Jewish you’re allowed to say these things, kind of like African Americans using the N-word, or something. But this still. doesn’t explain why you felt comfortable dissing the gay community -– unless we accept the online chatter as truth and you really are a tray with bad makeup. Har har.
Look, Patti, I’ve dated enough to know that, yes, Jewish men lie. But so do Christian men. And Muslim men. And Hindu, and Atheist, and Buddhist, and Taoist, and Scientologist and Jain and Pagan and Zoroastrian and Agnostic, and Jedi warrior men. Men lie. Anyone who has hung out with the girls over drinks at the neighborhood bar, or reads Cosmo, knows I speak the truth.
