Commie Girl Has Left The Building

Commiegirl_1 After 11 years on the job, O.C. Weekly political columnist/butt-kicker Rebecca Schoenkopf says she was told to leave her office last night and never come back. True, Commie Girl's dismissal came about an hour after she submitted her two-week notice, so it was her decision. "My car was in the shop, I didn't have a jacket, and it was raining. I waited in the parking lot for an evil friend from the DA's office to pick me up," Schoenkopf reports.

Not sure if O.C. Weekly decided to print her last column, but she was going to leave with a gentle note to her faithful readers in Orange County. She sent Political Muscle an excerpt:

Schoenkopf2_1 "And there was you (readers). There was you calling me a Jew, and you calling me a slut, and you calling me a 'selfish little wimp.' There was you, screaming into my voicemail, 'Rebecca Schoenkopf, you are nothing but a terrorist, you (unprintable in a family blog) and there was you saying, in what remains the best letter ever to Commie Girl, 'Stick to writing your crap, and stop thinking you are an expert in anything other than pathetic, self-centered, pompous dumbasses like yourself. You will be forever doomed to writing your self-involved little bull*** columns on toilet-paper rolls in your cat-feces-infested motel room long after OC Weekly finally wakes up and fires you.' Joke's on you, Mary from Rancho Santa Margarita, because I just quit."

Schoenkopf says she has some money saved and five weeks' vacation, so she can last a few months without a paycheck. "But I could use a job, so call me. As long as it's not topless, I'll consider all offers. I type 75 words a minutes. I also interpretive-dance." Goodbye, Commie Girl.
