Ann Coulter Leads the Bitter & Fearful Dunce Parade

Wow, this was really an entertaining week, and it’s only Tuesday.

Ann Coulter is Funny... Today she said tongue in cheek-- Get ready because this is really funny, hyperbole and all-- that she would vote for Jeffrey Dahmer over Obama. I am still laughing... She also made clear on Hannity's show that she really hates Newt, and principles over politics now believes that Romney “really means it” when he says that he is against abortion, Obamacare, and a liberalized immigration policy. She feels the left wing media empire will hoist Newt in effigy and rip him to shreds over the circumstances of his two failed marriages and intense record of flip flops on critical issues. Yeah… so…? I missed a lot though. I was still laughing at the joke about how she would rather vote for a mass murderer of 17, who ate the flesh of those he killed than the current president. That is funny, funny stuff.
Give Coulter credit. She knows how to sell herself to the unstable minions on the right who just can't make up their minds over which thug they would like to see carry their banner as Republican nominee. I know Coulter is just trying to sell books to the powerless and ill informed, but this, this was just too funny. Hannity by the way said Newt was on the show earlier and explained all that marital stuff. A lot of miscommunication, I guess, so Hannity gave his stamp of approval. No sense making too much of marital infidelities when there are serious issues to address.

Both parties should just give up on this angle though. Since Clinton it has been a parade of sordid. Hard to see one party has an edge, though I do find it fun and entertaining when the family values party gets their soiled linens exposed in public. Is there anything better than Craig’s foot bump in the MPLS airport? Well, hello…
Rick Santorum wants you to take him seriously, but he isn’t very serious so he makes it hard. The Huffington Post picked up an ABC News story about Rick Santorum’s explanation for his opposition to gay marriage at a campaign stop on Monday at a Christian college in Iowa.

“A recent graduate of the college compared gay marriage to interracial marriage and pressed Santorum on why it would be "a hit to faith and family in America." Santorum “got agitated” and said that if same sex marriage was legalized then "their sexual activity" would be seen as "equal" to heterosexual relationships and it would be taught in schools. (They teach sex in schools?)
Santorum continues: "Really--wow--um okay, well let's see if we can have a discussion. We can flesh out some, (sort of an awkward phrase, no?)  well, let's look at what's going to be taught in our schools because now we have same sex couples being the same and their sexual activity being seen as equal and being affirmed by society as heterosexual couples and their activity."

The student disagreed with him, but Santorum stuck to his line of reasoning.
"I think you're wrong--okay, in fact you have to know you’re wrong, because if we say legally if this type of relationship is identical to other type relationships than of course more of it will be taught because this is what the law says," he said.

If I did not know better I would think Santorum’s real issue was a deep and abiding fear of gay sex, perhaps more so than the natural extension of rights to GLBT community. Christ, he seems obsessed with the concept of his wee wee coming in contact with another man’s.
Michelle Bachman, oh poor Michelle, she’s a little ascared too. I first saw this tweet when Cain was sinking, but it applies here: Much like the movie the Sixth Sense, everyone knows this candidacy is dead, except the campaign. But we still have her around for entertainment. It was priceless to see the frozen look on her face when the eight year boy with mom urging him on worked up the courage to tell Bachman that, “My mommy is gay and she doesn’t need fixing.” Bachman was frozen like a friggin’ statue. I am sure Santorum must be horrified, but thankful that he didn’t have to handle that. It can rub off, you know.

And then along comes Donald “Birther” Trump! Fancy Hair Trump, excepting Cain, is the most arrogant ass we have seen this election cycle. And he’s going to moderate a debate!  AND-- This is really great-- he’s making suggestions he may jump back in as a third party candidate! If only he didn’t have such a record of being all show and no go. I know this is BS, but I can dream, can’t I?
In the debate we can count on Fancy being fair and balanced. He called the Ron Paul candidacy “a joke”. Fancy and Newt spent quite a bit of time Tea Bagging yesterday in New York. First words out of my candidate’s mouth were what a “great promoter” Fancy Hair is that! And boy they just looked so…, well…, cute together.

My gosh though, Newt and Fancy had such nice things to say about each other. Newt, my choice for repub nominee, was so proud of his obsequious journey to the foot of the master who knows “a little something about creating jobs”. Too bad Newt and he spent so much time fondling each other. Newt as the repub nominee and Donald as a third party is the dream deal for dems.
Like Newt says, Fancy knows how to create jobs. He’s kept bankruptcy lawyers solvent for years. Trump was all over junk bond financing on which he built the “Taj Majal” casino in Atlantic City in the early 90’s. The Taj declared bankruptcy and almost dragged Fancy into personal bankruptcy. From there the list of business catastrophes is really impressive. Fancy has a great history of picking himself up, but his history of failure is ripe for the kind of scrutiny a presidential candidacy would bring, if for no other reason than to expose the extent to which his ability to be a “promote” far surpasses his actual business acumen. Trump Plaza (formerly The Plaza Hotel), The Trump Shuttle, Trump Hotel Casinos and Resorts, all either declared bankruptcy or had bad debt restructured in ways that made Fancy give substantial portions of the leveraged properties back to the banks. Fancy has lived off the sort of unwise over-extended lending that the right now rails against. If buying a home for $200K when you can only handle $100K, and then taking out a loan for $210K is worthy of criticism, how can it be that Fancy  gets off the hook for doing similar deals for hundreds of millions. Fancy did very well, though as we know his investors and bond holders often took a beating. The string of failures is as long as the single strand of hair that circles his massive noggin, but no matter, Fancy lands on his feet as the rich often do. I do hope he runs so we can all gain from his wisdom.
