Get so upset over a pithy little phrase and claim victim hood. There were people minority people in a not so distant past that had to take crap and smile about it in order to keep their job or their home, you know in order to get along in a very crude society. This entire victim hood thing is crazy! I say get over it! Laugh a little. It's called Karma.

I mean Palin will never leave, they promise, they tell us, the whine and they cry, and yet they never ever disappear, once you have that 15 minutes of fame you will do anything to keep that going it seems. I don't want to kick her around, but I would love it if she really would just go away.

That made me laugh, and then realize you are completely correct!

"There was every reason to believe they were heading for trouble, that they'd pushed their luck a bit far. They'd abused every rule DC lived by—burning the locals, abusing the tourists, terrifying the help. The only hope now, they seemed to feel, was the possibility that they'd gone to such excess, with that gig, that nobody in a position to bring the hammer down on them could possibly believe it . . . When they brought this act into this town, they want to bring it in heavy. Don't waste any time with cheap shucks and misdemeanors. Go straight for the jugular. Get right into "traitor", "undocumented alien", "Muslim". The mentality of DC is so grossly atavistic that a really massive crime of vitriol and lies often slips by unrecognized."

Thank you Hunter S. Thompson of course.

But I am pretty sure they are all on LSD.

Isn't it weird that a little alteration, the quote from fear and loathing works!

Finally someone tells the truth about the Republican Party. The party largely represented and supported by a xenophobic, homophobic, women hating, gaggle of old southern white guys. They are a human form of entropy degrading right before our eyes. These are the guys who want the world to go back in time, a time when white guys were in charge and remained in charge. I wonder if they will kick him out of the party? When will he begin to retract his statement saying he did not mean what you think he meant!

Possible as resurgent as the Whig Party or the No Nothings or even the Dixiecrats! Hahahahaha.... Oh Politico, who paid for that article?

Joan,

You were great on Hardball today, extraordinarily articulate, your points came across very well. You said everything that needed to be said. Thanks. :) (I don't mean to imply you aren't articulate) Your performance on Hardball was excellent. Your words were well formed, meaningful, and above all truthful, said they were said with eloquence.

Glenn Beck is a moron. Unfortunately far too many people listen to him. Imagine this, if you have gone beyond a Faux News ethical line, you've gone way beyond what would normally be an ethical boundary.

Have the nuts overtaken your editorial yet? I am sure they have so I will bid you adieu.

OH I love that handle LW, but here is how you can get your boyfriend to straighten up, it is easy and simple. He is a douche with money, irresponsible, everything that is the worst. DTMFA. You don't need this you don't deserve this if you DTMFA, he will either grow up or immediately attach himself to someone else who will take care of him. You don't need that. You are smart, that came through in your letter. If you don't know what DTMFA is, look up Dan Savage at The Stranger, he gives this advice all the time.

Is that your name or have you attended the fun ren faire in Camlann?

Is they always deny they are racists. It is crazy these folks are the first to call anyone a traitor, un-American, Marxist, whatever the buzz word of the day happens to be, but you tell the truth about who they are and they go crazy.

The trolls are here aren't they Joan, they've taken over your editorial once again I am sure.

I spent the day at the beach with my 18 year old daughter and her 19 year old friend, it was a blast. Glad I've missed the vitriol I am sure is being aimed at you, virtueless666, elephantitis, etc I am sure they are all here.

As I said yesterday, you were so good yesterday, eloquent, Chris had to feel he was out of his league with the two of you right there pointing out fact after fact after fact. Nice job. :)

Remember Republicans, these are all those Joe Blows you love thinking that Palin should be a homemaker. hahahahahaha...

Utterly disappointing.

What a lunatic.

All day long, I can't stop laughing, wonderful, just wonderful.

BS pal, Hall and Schuster were great! Have you ever seen Edward R. Murrow's interview of Joseph McCarthy? Why would you say that simply asking someone to answer the question asked is somehow not journalism? It seems you may not know what journalists are supposed to do, but so what, you are a loon too. That was great, right up there with Michelle Bachmann and investigating congress to see who is patriotic and who is not, and my personal favorite the Easter Bunny Hates You. Orly Taitz is one crazy bitch, I hope she is on TV every single day!

Did the widdle so called Attorney/Dentist/Realtor, get her widdle fweewings hurt? Ohh, poor widdle conservatives don't have a sense of humor.

Listen up Steele, when these are the folks that are out there representing your ideas then you have to expect to be made fun of, seriously.

PS

I wouldn't want her as my Attorney, Dentist or Realtor, she is off her rocker, batshit crazy, she reminds me of Sly Stallone's mom Jackie, another hilariously funny lunatic.
