For those holding your breath, waiting for Al to jump in the presidential race, breath. Gore's spokesperson is telling everyone who'll listen (and who won't?) that Gore "has no intention of running for President in 2008." Too bad, there'd be a certain amount of "in your face!" to a Gore presidency -- the man rejected by an undemocratic court order would be cleaning up all the messes the made by moron that court installed. But I can see the reasoning behind Gore's decision -- let someone else take the job of Historical Janitor, he's got things to do. That doesn't mean that Al's out of the running for anything at the White House -- he'd be an excellent choice for Secretary of State or Ambassador to the UN. The man has a global rep. And he's much more likely to accept either. You can quit those if you want. The President's pretty much stuck with the job.
I didn't mean this post to be about Gore, but I just couldn't let the occasion slide without comment. Especially since I'm about to dive into the swamp. Call it one last breath, before I go under.
And deep under here, toward the bottom of the swamp, is our subject -- Ann Coulter.
Editor and Publisher:
Appearing on Donny Deutsch's CNBC show, "The Big Idea," on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren't any Jewish people and that they needed to "perfect" themselves into -- Christians.
It led Deutsch to suggest that surely she couldn't mean that, and when she insisted she did, he said this sounded "anti-Semitic."
Asked by Deutsch whether she wanted to be like "the head of Iran" and "wipe Israel off the Earth," Coulter stated: "No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say... That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament."
The bad news is that Ann Coulter is still busy being Ann Coulter. The good news is that you can now refer to Ann as a nazi without someone calling Godwin's law on you.
I hate to throw another editorial dead end at you, but Ann's bona fides as a fascist isn't the purpose of this post either. I've got a theory about Ann Coulter that came to me last night. My theory is that she serves a purpose in the right wing pundit world and that purpose is as a test pilot for really offensive talking points...
