Thundersquee’s 2009 Doosh Thunderdome!
Serena Williams: Doosh Dossier 
This year has visited a groundswell of doosh upon the hapless heads of Hags and Squeeple alike. A torrential outpouring of vinegar so vast in scope and relentless in attack that it can relate to only this: the countless acts of dooshery, douchestacity, and douchebagelry with which we, in the People’s Republic of Thundersquee!, have been forced to reckon. It ain’t pretty people. We’ve had Kanye Interruptus; Carrie Preach-jean; Jon “Ed Hardy” Gosselin; Rush Oxylimbaugh; Glenn Crazy Eyes Beck; and the list goes on.
Here’s how it will work. For the next couple of weeks, we will recount some of the dooshes catalogued in our year-long category aptly titled “Doosh Watch 2009.” We will then pit the dooshes against each other in the Thunderdome. And you, dear squeeperson, will vote for your least favorite doosh, or-if you prefer a phrase more semantically accurate-the dooshiest doosh as between the dooshes.
Put on your protective goggles, squeeples. You do NOT want to look any of these dooshes in the eye.
So here’s what you do: Assess the dooshery based on our prior blog posts throughout the year and any independent knowledge you may have of a particular doosh’s dooshiness. And then vote! It’s as easy as saying… something that’s easy to say.
We will provide a doosh dossier on each of three Doosh of the Year Nominees throughout the day. Then at the end of the day (8 p.m. PST-ish) that day, we will open the polls for voting. You vote for the dooshiest of the three. And at the end of the doosh round robin, we will pit our final three nominees against each other and award a Giant Bag of Doosh to our Douche of 2009. Stay classy, squeeple!
Next up are Serena Williams, Delonte West and Terrelle Pryor or as we at Thundersquee! like to call them, the doosh athletes who shouldn’t be allowed to talk.
Serena Williams
Finding words to decribe her epic rant on a female line judge – a rant that ultimately cost her a U.S. Open championship — isn’t exactly easy. Especially after our own stopthemadness did such a great job of summing up earlier this year (Serena Williams will kill you). So perhaps video will tell the tale best:
Among the jewels she blessed the world with, perhaps the most damning of all was the initial threat itself: “If I could, I would take this fucking ball and shove it down your fucking throat.”
That’s the kind of thing we might say to someone if they’re threatening our family or raping our sister. The calm-headed Williams used it during a tennis match.
Charming.

With a tennis ball 
During her semifinal match again unseeded Kim Clijsters at the U.S. Open this weekend, defending champion Serena Williams lost her temper and threatened to murder a line judge in the face with a tennis ball. The chair umpire penalized her and, as a result, she lost the match.
From the AP:
With Williams serving at 5-6, 15-30 in the second set, she faulted on her first serve. On the second serve, a line judge called a foot fault, making it a double-fault — a call rarely, if ever, seen at that stage of any match, let alone the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament.
That made the score 15-40, putting Clijsters one point from victory.
Then Serena decided it was a good idea to go yell at the line judge and the umpire some more, resulting in a point penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and ultimately, the loss of the game. (She had already been cited for “racket abuse” after she broke her racket on the net during the first set, and the point penalty came on match point.) Here’s what she said to the line judge: “If I could, I would take this fucking ball and shove it down your fucking throat.“
