Thank you for not naming “She who shall not be named”
I won’t even follow links to watch her because she probably gets paid by the ‘cookie’ counters, too.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
Well, it’s certainly better to not mention her name (I wonder if she gets all the counts for “hysterical witch” as well) but I’ll still be much happier when her antics give her zero publicity. Just like a child with a tantrum, she wont stop until she is utterly ignored. The media covers her, so I guess I understand why this blog does, but I still would be much happier if I never had to think about her.
Laryngitis? Nah, too temporary, get her a psychiatrist and a whole bunch of meds.

Elizabeth Edwards Confronts Ann Coulter on HARDBALL
Ouch… Elizabeth Edwards called into to HARDBALL today to confront Chris Matthews’ guest, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter. Edwards said “that Coulter’s “personal attacks†on former senator John Edwards and others were based on “…

I wouldn’t use my fingers to type her name.
I don’t have acid in the house to remove the stains..

It’s interesting to see hoe Coulter avoids all substance and just falls back uncomfortably on to her schtick- not unlike many blog comments.
June 27th, 2007 at 5:32 am
Its all mantra. Certain phrases just raise the blood pressure by saying them.
No one here comes up with any new or exciting or USEABLE ideas either. WE all just repeat our same old tired trite phrases inflicted upon us by someone who thought of it first and turned it into a talking point.
Your all just jealous because these types of people….Al Franken too….have the kahunas to make money off being stupid.
Rosie O’Donnell is the Anne Coulter of the left. I don’t hear anyone bad mouthing her tirades. She is getting paid handsomely for being a Lesbian Fat slob. (Sorry her words………NOT MINE.) She readily admits it.
She might even replace Bob Barker who I secretly believe is the head of PETA. (People Eating Tastee Animals)
Dang why didnt I think of that.

hey Somebody ( who is not brave enough to even post a pseudonym)
a Kahuna is a Hawaiian priest,

go back to school, fool.

Chris Matthews needs to change his bat for a softball one. Calling her a “brilliant writer” is like calling GWB an eloquent statesmen. A pithy, look at me, Barbie dressed up in ultracon clothes, AC adds nothing salient to the great debate. If she does it is overshadowed by the ichor of her ad-hominem potshot gregariousness. Paris Hilton wrote a successful book too, maybe she should get together and write a book.

Elizabeth Edwards Viciously Attacks Ann Coulter
It’s really sad the way Elizabeth Edwards has debased our political dialogue by confronting pundits with their own words.
June 27th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Not to mention it was a setup .Matthews continued the same shtick he has been playing anytime he has a conservative on his show. It reminded me of the time he invited Michelle Malkin on the show so that he could act indignant over a partial answer to a question he had asked. On cue he kicked her off the show claiming she made a comment she never actually made. In this case he kept shutting off Ann so that he could create a sound bite rather than a nuanced answer dependent on context. I have to say though that bringing on the ailing wife of a candidate was a nice touch. It took pandering to a new level.
June 27th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
See what I mean Hanginjohnny.
You just proved my point. I tossed around some verbage with baggage tied to it and you insulted me.
It was an exercise to prove a point.
You proved it quite well.
All one has to do is toss around bigotry and stupidity and people respond to it.
June 27th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
And spank me with a spoon for not knowing how to spell an urban word for having Big testicles.
Your right…Which school would teach me how to spell swear words to your satisfaction……..Hangin??
June 27th, 2007 at 2:16 pm
pseudonym (sÅ«’dÉ™nÄm) [Gr.,=false name], name assumed, particularly by writers, to conceal identity.
I thought that was what a name like Somebody was all about. Gee Hangin…..I think your right. Perhaps I should go back to school and learn how to talk ghetto talk on a blog so I don’t incur the wrath of the Etiquette patrol.
June 27th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
It concerns me that a person like AC can still retain any credibility, yet she does. I really don’t see the comparison with Rosie either. One is a hollywood loudmouth not particularly loved by anyone, the other is a dedicated political pundit lionized by the right and far right.
I mean, all she does is spew uninformed, poorly rationalized hate of anything not neocon. Its the success of people like her that make me really worried, because obviously there are millions out there that agree with her opinions and tirades. That scares the shit out of me like terrorism never will.
June 27th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
There’s a good chance she’ll end up like Joe McCarthy someday. Sadly, though, she’s already probably quite wealthy from what she’s done. Not as bad a scam as Chomsky’s, but personally more offensive, behavior-wise.
