Actually Ogged, after watching about ten seconds of that, I'm pretty sure I don't.
I thought that this video marked the point where I stopped feeling amusement and began feeling pity and horror, but I switched back. From her comments:
I should have moved the sofa so there would have been a full reflection in the mirror. Getting the reflection in the wine glass was key, in my view, artistically.
I'm so terrible.
Ogged, you sadistic bastard. Why did you make me watch this? Why?
The really sick thing is, I kinda enjoyed it.
The wine glass reflection was key, though "artistically" is perhaps the wrong word.
I can understand recording something like this if you're a bit sloshed, but actually taking the time to edit it and post it online once you're sober? She's really quite mad.
I didn't think it was possible for the little minx to be so charming.
You do know that you can save files from YouTube -- just in case they mysteriously disappear -- just by following these instructions, right?
I feel better now about the last time I got drunk in public.
Maybe she was drunk when she posted that too, MattF.
Hey I now watched the tantrummy once with her and Garage Frankly-Rutland! I managed 25 seconds before my toes curled painfully with embarrassment and I had to switch it off. I bet that's more than any of you lot.
Almost immediately I started getting that uncomfortable feeling where you know somebody is about to lean over and clumsily try to make out with you. And more disturbingly, I started thinking, "Eh, what the hell. I'm bored."
If she weren't so completely oblivious to her own banality, I'd think we were entering cry-for-help territory. As it is I think she genuinely believes people would want to watch her drunken commentary on American Idol for other than horrified amusement reasons. Like I say, she's turning into Atlas Pam.
Okay, but is it worse than Karl Rove rapping posted here at Think Progress?
Guess who I saw on campus this past weekend? She was working by herself with a self-satisfied smile planted on her face. Maybe it it was the unusually nice weather...
12 is so right. This is the same woman who vigorously rebuked The Garance for boring Bloggingheads viewers by talking about female breasts.
6 gets it exactly right. I didn't think she was really capable of being cutely human.
Are you kidding me? From the first time I saw her sidebar photo I knew she was able to turn on a coy charm. People!
10: that uncomfortable feeling where you know somebody is about to lean over and clumsily try to make out with you. And more disturbingly, I started thinking, "Eh, what the hell. I'm bored."
That sort of thing happens to you a lot, doesn't it, Apo?
10 is just about my favorite comment ever.
Wow. It won't be long before we see "Althouse vlogs watching Mythbusters!" followed by "Althouse vlogs setting her TiVO for the week!" Maybe one day we'll get "Althouse vlogs choosing cereals at Whole Foods!"
"I'm trying to get the camera to capture the reflection of the towel rack in the mirror...do some interesting presentation stuff for this vlog...there, okay, I think that's got it. Anyhow, I haven't taken a decent crap in four days, but I've got a good feeling about today!"
"Althouse vlogs setting her TiVO for the week!"
law professors are resetting their tivos more often than I am?
*sigh*
We're all waiting for the Apostropher/Althouse BloggingHeads. Apo has to be drunk too.
ALTHOUSE: ... and I just don't understand why anyone thinks we have the right to second-guess the Executive Branch's decision on war with Iran, because it's just a natural outgrowth of the war with Iraq and therefore we can't interfere with the Commander-in-Chief.
APO: Ann?
ALTHOUSE (pause for breath incomplete, hence able to hear): Yes?
APO: Why don't you just tell me what you're wearing?
Apo: I don't understand why the right refuses to take me seriously as a political analyst.
Althouse: Maybe it's all the drug and penis blogging you do?
Apo: HOW DARE YOU BRING THAT UP TO TRY TO DISCREDIT ME!? I'm THIS close to just hanging up!
23: I have no idea how often one sets a TiVO. I thought making a TiVO reference would make me sound "with it" and "now."
25: The day Bloggingheads turns into videotaped phone sex between conservative and liberal bloggers is the day I will finally start paying attention to political blogs.
I have no idea how often one sets a TiVO
Infrequently, is the point.
28: Can someone mark somewhere in the log that I made an accidental double entendre? I'd hate for anyone here to think I have a dirty mind.
Maybe it's all the drug and penis blogging you do?
She wouldn't have to get to anything Apo actually wrote, b/c obviously an apostrophe is shaped like a penis.
The day Bloggingheads turns into videotaped phone sex between conservative and liberal bloggers is the day I will finally start paying attention to political blogs.
That would be *so* awesome. It would probably be easier to rope a libertarian into this than a proper conservative. Perhaps Jane Galt at Apo?
Hi, [X], I'm a rebel genius superman. As a Randian, would you like to hear about my BDSM plans for you? Just wait a second while I make myself comfortable.....
Where X is an unnamed Randian libertarian lady blogger.
"Althouse vlogs choosing cereals at Whole Foods!"
I once witnessed Mark Strand weighing the arborio rice options at the coop in Hyde Park with great seriousness.
Who choose an arborio rice with great confidence? Not me.
See this.
Note, for the record, that I'm actually mighty drunk right now, and sorely tempted by the suggestion.
I tell this to you, because I trust you.
I'm actually mighty drunk right now

Good show, old sport!
West coast! Spring break! Prank caller! Prank caller!
videotaped phone sex is an awesome idea, not least because we would finally get a chance to see the robe and wizard hat.
