All of me – Why not take all of me
Can't you see I'm no good without
you
Take my lips I want to loose them
Take my arms I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that
cry
How can I go on dear without you...
From the movie theme of “All of Me”
(1984)
Given the generally unhinged
and hysterical state of today's vanquished
progressives, it's singularly appropriate that a dark
interpretation of the title song from a 1984
movie would suddenly come to bear. With President Trump's Supreme
Court nomination of the eminently qualified Neil
Gorsuch, 49, their squirrelly
thoughts shift wildly to the future loss of crone Associate
Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, 83. Compare the above stanza with the following
disjointed
rant exemplified by The Washington Post's Rachel Manteuffel:
“I’ve found myself thinking about
you lately, and how things are going with you, and I just wanted you
to know that I ... have some tokens of my esteem that you might
enjoy. Such as blood. If you have any need for blood, you can have
the eight or so units of A-positive that are right here in my body.
There’s also a gently used liver in here, lobes of it just lying
around if you need them.... Do you like platelets? I have excellent
platelets. I have had all my shots. ... My kidneys function well. I
have two. Either one is yours for the taking. Both, if need be. … I
have scads of nerves that you can have. Just take them. My skin would
graft onto you beautifully. Bones, stem cells, a whole eyeball I
don’t need, feet of intestines, feet. Just a ridiculous amount of
health, way more than should rightly belong to someone with my
standing in the world.”
Ms. Manteuffel also specifies her large
heart to be trimmed to fit Justice Ginsburg's diminutive size.
This frankly gory
element brings to mind another 'body parts' film, “The Silence
of the Lambs” (1991) (released synchronistically on Valentine's
Day). Specifically, how is one not graphically reminded of Jame
Gumb's basement lair of kidnapped and skinned women, or Hannibal
Lecter, when Manteuffel suggests:
“If you need to keep me on life
support in your house, just in case, while you slice off any
bits that appeal to you, that is totally fine and my loved
ones will understand. … We have discussed it. ”
Ah, what would Dr. Lecter say about
that
conversation? In any case, notice the conspicuous
absence from the
rambling list of human anatomy: this scribbler's brain. Is that
because Manteuffel knows Ms. Ginsburg has no use for such an inferior
organ? Or does this
Post employee use her gray matter so infrequently that it never
occurs to her to offer it? Indeed, her opinion piece is so
bizarre she should be known henceforth as Macabre Manteuffel!
“MM” would greatly benefit from
reading “On
Death and Dying” (1969) by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Within, the
five stages
of grief resulting from an unexpected
loss (read: the 2016
presidential election) are detailed. Philosophically, Manteuffel
is stuck at stage three, known as
bargaining. Still, the ultimate goal of any grieving process is
acceptance. That means intensive therapy, though not with “Hannibal
the Cannibal”. This deluded
ideologue will need to keep all of her body parts to get there.
