Ann Coulter, Could U Not Talk?

One question: What is it about this shallow juvenile harpy that warbloggers and other neo-con oddlings find so attractive?
Let me get this straight: People who wish Cheney would die in a terrorist assassination plot are ugly, treasonous, despicable and unbalanced.
People who wish John Edwards would die in a terrorist assassination plot are
none of the above but also applauded and showered with the undying
love of the Mark Steyn wanna-be set.

Update:
In the above post, the anti-Cheney remarks I was referring to were made by some commenters on an article at The Huffington Post. If I can find the link I will post it. But this article from the L.A. Times discusses an even more direct point - that Coulter herself drew comparisons between her remarks and those made by Bill Maher on his show. As the Times article points out, there is no comparison to be made. What Maher said was nothing like the twisted wishes announced by Coulter.

Once again, she was full of crap.

If this surprises you I have some disappointing news about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

Thursday Morning Spit Take

Pppppppppptttt!!!

From Judicial Watch:
"Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released new documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) related to the “expeditious departure” of Saudi nationals, including members of the bin Laden family, from the United States following the 9/11 attacks. According to one of the formerly confidential documents, dated 9/21/2001, terrorist Osama bin Laden may have chartered one of the Saudi flights."

Another Incovenient Truth

The latest hysterics making the rounds in the community of lemmings known as the right wing blogosphere is a video of Al Gore taking Bush 41 to task over his non-handling of Saddam Hussein.
Fortunately there is Steve Benen aka The Carpetbagger:
"I’m curious if any of these conservatives who are so enthralled by the Gore video have actually thought this one through."
Benen lays things out as they are - not as the right wishes they would be - and as usual, these finger pointers come out of it stinking like toddlers in need of a Huggies change.

Picking The Bones

Just listening to Greg Palast on the Randi Rhodes show.
Just another administration scandal on the pile: vulture funds.
And Saint Rudy has a connection too.
These people have no shame.

I Second That Emotion

What TBogg said...
except, in my opinion, hangin's too good fer 'em.

Ailes Admits FOX Is Like Al Qaeda

I agree.
It's just a little surprising to hear Roger Ailes admit that the Republicans would be willing to participate in a debate hosted by Al Qaeda.
I would have thought that to be a bad career move - except in the case of Tommy Thompson who should be looking for support wherever he can stumble drunkenly across it.

Irony Curtain

Championing freedom, Bush-style.

“On a day when he trumpeted democracy, President Bush noted the vital nature of a free press. Then he got a laugh when the press got stiffed,” the AP reports in a wire story.
