Ignore Coulter

Coulter is not a pundit. She is just a bad entertainer and a one-trick pony. Her "witticisms" are getting really repetitive. Gora is a "total fag"; Clinton has "homosexual tendencies", Edwards is "a faggot; "frag Murtha"; "poison Justice Stevens' creme brulee"; "Gore is fat"; "bomb the New York Times"; etc.. etc... She is tedious. Ignore her. Anyway, she is getting longer in the tooth. Soon, she will look like an old hag and she won't be invited on TV as often.

CPAC Revealed

At least, now we know the composition of the CPAC: a bunch of ignorant and bigoted idiots. Thank you, Ann, for clearing this up for us.

I fully understand...

... that GWB is intellectually deficient, is suffering from narssistic delusions of grandeur, and is a puppet manipulated by a paranoid psychopath, i.e., Cheney. Now, can we do do something about it?

Double Standard

Coulter's brother is gay. Does she call him a faggot?

Coulter is the Face of the Republican Party

Ann Coulter is the face of today's Republican Party: bigoted, racist, mean-spirited, jingoistic, authoritarian, exterminationist, violent, and very stupid. The more they use her as a spokesperson, the better. It guarantees a resounding defeat for the Republicans in 2008 and ostracism for the rest of the century. Bring it on, Ann!

Original article: A kinder, gentler Giuliani

Herr Giuliani

Anyone who believes a word that comes out of Giuliani's mouth should talk to New Yorkers who had to put up with his insanity for eight years.

Giuliani is a thin-skinned, vainglorious, vindictive, petty, secretive, choleric, person. In other words, he is a bit of a psycho.

Giuliani managed to irk New Yorkers no end with his dictatorial, arrogant, and secretive ways.

He was also totally insensitive to racial relations in a city that is highly diverse. Giuliani never tried to have a decent relationship with African American community leaders. He also mishandled the Diallo shooting by refusing to speak with the African -American community. (For those of you who do not know, Amadou Diallo was shot 40+ times in the entranceway of his building, a victim of mistaken identity. He was no criminal: he was in the wrong place at the wrong time).

Giuliani's ego is such that he went to court to take down an ad that New York Magazine put in the subway: "one thing that Giuliani cannot take credit for".

He fired his extremely effective and competent police commissioner, Bratton, because Bratton was featured on the front page of Times Magazine as the man who brought down crime in New York.

But the day New Yorkers discovered that Giuliani was totally bat-shit crazy is the day when he called up a press conference to announce that he was divorcing his wife, Donna Holland. That would have been fine, except that he had not told her yet. We were then treated to a visibly distraught Donna Holland giving an impromptu press conference. That was really classy!

For those of you who think he is the 9/11 mayor, let me remind you that Giuliani located the Emergency and Rescue Center at 7 WTC even though the WTC was bombed in 1993. And that he never did anything to make sure that the police and the firefighters could communicate on radio with one another. On 9/11, he saw his moment of glory. He did the job he was paid for by marshalling and managing resources.

Shortly after 9/11, he joined the EPA chief, Christine Whitman, in alleging that downtown Manhattan's air was safe. As we know now, it was a lie.

Anyway, if Giuliani ever gets to be President of the US, you can be sure that you will regret the days of George W. Bush. He will manage to alienate everyone around him, and every country in the world. And he will run the country like a dictator. Giuliani will make Dubbya look like a Democrat.

Gibson is a Twit

So now Gibson is telling us what to watch? He is setting our priorities and making decisions for us? Where does this stop?

Not that I watch Faux News anyway. One could not pay me enough to do that. The intellectual level of Faux News is so low that it is embarrassing to anyone with a triple-digit I.Q.

P.S.: I don't watch CNN either, especially since that channel thought it a good idea to hire noxious lunatics like Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace.

Original article: The Lieberman switch?

Lieberman is not a Democrat

Lieberman chose to run as an independent after he was defeated in the Democratic primary. Why people are worrying about his switching to the GOP is beyond me. He has already proven that he will support the Republicans on Bush's ill-fated occupation of Iraq no matter what, which is the issue "du jour" for Americans. So, who cares really, whether Sanctimonious Joe changes party affiliation? Nothing of consequence will be done by the Senate anyway until 2008, when, hopefully, the Republican senators will be thrown out of office for the rest of the century. Lieberman will then be in a minority. Holy Joe's grasp on the Senate is very tenuous.

I think Holy Joe has an exaggerated view of his blackmailing powers on the Democratic majority in Congress. He will end up in the gutter, where he belongs. Of course, he will also end up with a fat pension and free health care for life for himself and his family, courtesy of the American tax-payer. That is the real problem.

Original article: Camille's back!

Camille is a total nothing

One would think that people would have learned from history. Paglia is a would-be intellectual, a fraud that passes herself for someone important. And Salon is celebrating such a fraud? Come on, people! Wake up!

Hunting season on the right-wing is now open

I guess it is now open season on the right-wing bloggers hired by the GOP, on the hate-spewers like Malkin, Limbaugh, Coulter, Savage, and the rest of the ilk who carry water for this Administration. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine.
