Update: He has a new, feeble excuse.
See below.
I have long said that Twitter is the single best engine of self-beclownment ever invented. Too many people tweet on impulse, hitting send before they think it through. You know, sort of like how a smaller number of people carelessly send emails without paying attention. So for many people Twitter is their unfiltered selves, and their true selves comes through.
And strap yourself in because it gets ugly. The language is coarse, but it is necessary
to convey the evil involved and for that I apologize:
@ellencarmichael I hope Ryan's daughter gets fucked and pregnant at 13.

Of course that wouldn’t be “rape rape” as Whoopi Goldberg
imagined, but it is statutory rape in every civilized place in the world
(indeed to a large extent in my mind the test of whether a place is civilized
is whether they would legalize sex with a thirteen year old girl), and morally
it is child rape, too. A thirteen year
old girl is just not ready for sex.
Now his profile describes him as a “New Yorker Fashion Editor.” But apparently he either doesn’t work for
the New Yorker as some thought, or he has never, ever published anything for them, because a full
search of their website for his name turns up nothing and he has tweeted out denials that he works for them.
But he definitely seems to be working for WE Tv. What? You
don’t know who WE Tv is? Yeah, neither
did I, but here’s their description from their website:
Every kind
of family. All kinds of drama. That's life as we know it on WE tv network.
WE tv is
family 2.0. It's the real, familiar stories that make us say "that could
be me!" Featuring celebrity families you just can't miss and personalities
you want to know more about like The Braxtons in Braxton Family Values, Joan and Melissa
Rivers in Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows
Best? and Shannen Doherty inShannen Says.
And
nothing causes family drama like planning a wedding. Don't miss My Fair Wedding with David
Tuteraand I Do Over with Diann
Valentine. Plus, everyone's favorite original drama queens, Bridezillas.
And this should clarify things further:
Launch Date:
1997 as Romance
Classics; 2001 re-branded to WE: Women’s Entertainment; 2006 re-branded to WE
tv
So it seems like as best as I can tell a women’s oriented
reality channel. So I am about as likely
to enjoy that as a rash, but hey, to each their own. There is plenty of room on the dial for them
and for 7,000 other channels, of about twenty I might actually like.
But he is a star of one of their reality shows. See, remember the mention of the show “Shannen
Says”? Well, he’s on that one, which is
apparently a reality show about Shannen Doherty getting married, for the third
time. Which sounds perfectly horrid, but
anyway, from his profile:
Native New Yorker, fashion editor/stylist Tim Bitici
cites his teenage days of working at his father’s renowned Greenwich Village
restaurant (Minnetta Tavern) as the inspiration for a career in fashion. It was
the eclectic, artistic vibe of his surroundings that drew him into the fashion
world. Tim began his career as a stylist for Glamour Magazine. His inherent
sense of style, keen appreciation of fashion mixed with a strong work ethic
pushed Tim on to the radar of top stylists at other magazines.
Not long after doing his first magazine cover, Tim
traveled the world on a variety of shoots; Vanity Fair, GQ, NY Times Style and
a plethora of celebrity styling jobs and advertising campaigns. For the last
four years, Tim has been a Fashion Editor for A Magazine. Tim has also been
working on music videos for artists like Madonna and Justin Timberlake, and has
worked on numerous international advertising campaigns. Tim was first
introduced to Shannen when styling her for a photo shoot, and the two hit it
off instantly.
By the way, this is their contact page, if you want to let them
know how you feel. And if you are on
twitter, so are they! Be polite, so they can’t dismiss you as a
crazy, but make it clear in no uncertain terms that this is unacceptable
behavior.
In the meantime, it seems that Mr. Bitici (which I think
is Italian for “whiny b----h”) is getting some criticism and is not reacting
well.
For instance, here, he is not comprehending the problem:
@nadiaartist @phoenix406 @ellencarmichael and I NEVER said rape.
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
Really, really not getting it:
@laughinphlstine nope. A 15 year old can fuck a 13 year old. Happens everyday. Duh
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
Not liking media attention:
@derekahunter it's pronounced "get a life". Oh and its twitter you freak.
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
He has an intelligent response to criticism:
@gopmommy nice face and hair.
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
And more profanity when someone points out that they have
a screencap:
Grab my balls. “@kevindgregory: @derekahunter @timbitici I got a screengrab if anybody needs one.”
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
Lawyer extraordinaire Todd Kincannon gets in on the fun:
@toddkincannon not raped. Just Happily fucked.
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
He gets some support:
@riggitybiggity lol. I don't even know why. What freaks these right wing bible thumping republicans are.
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
What is wrong with these people? It was a vile thing to say. He should apologize at the very least.
But that is the theme of the night: boorish behavior. That certainly was on display when Ryan and
Biden debated. CNN counted over 92 times
Biden interrupted and I cannot believe for a second that is going to go over
well in middle America. And his weird
smirking couldn’t have helped. Ryan, on
the other hand, was in my opinion the right amount of assertive and probably
came off as more of an adult than his much older adversary. There is only one relevant measure on who
wins a debate: whether it makes your side more likely to win. I think it was a narrower, but still clear
victory for Romeny/Ryan.
Update: Oh my… he is now pretending he wasn’t talking about Paul Ryan.
@dwcorum I said Ryan. Not Paul Ryan you moron.
— timBitici (@timBitici) October 12, 2012
Well, except that is all he was
talking about in his timeline as screencapped here:
Notice the very next tweet was
clearly about the debate (above the offending tweet) and referred to Paul Ryan as just “Ryan.”
And remember that tweet exchange with
Todd Kincannon quoted above. Kincannon
said: “This Democrat wants Paul Ryan's daughter to be raped” and Bitici replied
“not raped. Just Happily f----ed.” (curse
word censored.) If he didn’t mean Paul
Ryan, that would be the time to say it.
And in any case, is that a
defense? “Oh, so he wanted Ryan Reynolds’* future hypothetical
daughter to be raped and not Paul Ryan’s daughter. That’s much
better.” The problem is he was wishing
rape upon a little girl. He should take
a lesson from David Letterman and apologize.

My wife and I have lost our jobs
due to the harassment of convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an
attempt to get us killed and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up
to ten years. I know that claim sounds
fantastic, but if you read starting here, you will see absolute proof of these
claims using documentary and video evidence.
If you would like to help in the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin
accountable, please hit the Blogger’s Defense Team button on the right. And thank you.
Follow me at Twitter @aaronworthing,

Disclaimer:
I have accused some people,
particularly Brett Kimberlin, of
reprehensible conduct. In some cases, the conduct is even
criminal. In all cases, the only justice I want is through the
appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system. I do not want to see vigilante violence
against any person or any threat of such violence. This kind of conduct is not only morally
wrong, but it is counter-productive.
In the particular case of Brett
Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him. Do not call him. Do not write him a letter. Do not write him an email. Do not text-message him. Do not engage in any kind of directed communication. I say this in part because under Maryland
law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want that to happen to him.
And for that matter, don’t go on
his property. Don’t sneak around and try
to photograph him. Frankly try not to
even be within his field of vision. Your
behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to
mention trespass and other concerns).
And do not contact his
organizations, either. And most of all, leave his family alone.
The only exception to all that is
that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with
contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might
report. And even then if he tells you to
stop contacting him, obey that request. That
this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that
a person asks you to stop and you refuse.
And let me say something
else. In my heart of hearts, I don’t
believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above. But if any of you have, stop it, and if you
haven’t don’t start.
Incorrect headline...not surprised by a lawyer falsifying the truth. You should work at Fox News with this type of 'journalism'
ReplyDeleteIs Lilly going to elaborate or is that the extent of her argument?
