For those with HBO (and who can stomach Maher's nauseating spiel), Coulter will be on with Andrew Sullivan, and... Ben Affleck! Ahem. Anyway...
The Hillary Curse continues!
Well, whatever they are, they've been going to bat for the Republican Party and conservatives for a long time.
I guess the Republicans have so much power now they don't need their brightest minds. We'll see.
I watched some of it tonight. Two thoughts come immediately to mind.
Bill Maher is an evil guy..Really...he hates...everything..
Ben Affleck..I really and truly think he's retarded. He cant seem to answer a question with a coherent answer.
It breaks my heart that such a smart girl like Jennifer Garner, who was raised just up the road from me, would marry that imbecile.
I wonder how he manages to tie his shoes in the morning without assistance.
Yes he is simply vile. I think he must have been abused as a child!
I just hope that Affleck doesn't kill Garner's career. I think she is beautiful and talented enough to overcome this marriage.
Are all of your thoughts as original as your attack on Ann?
I am glad I missed that column..Outrageous..
Going to bat how?
"You mean the effete corp of impudent snobs has been given the shaft..."
I don't think Spiro Agnew meant to include the right when he used that term.
And in this case, I don't think "intellectual right" means "intellectuals on the right," but rather those who are, intellectually, on the right. I graduated not just from a state school, but from one with a party school reputation, but I consider myself to be intellectually on the right.
Coulter has something that is, generally, sadly lacking on the right, and that is a talent for verbal pyrotechnics that go for the jugular. The left has had a virtual monopoly on that, and it's been downright demoralizing.
We tend to underestimate the influence of Samual Adams' firebrand rhetoric in precipitating the Revolutionary War, but his "irresponsible" rabble-rousing played a large role in getting people off their butts and up to Concord Green.
Similarly, I think we underestimate the great service Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter have done in raising morale on the right.
Remember when Limbaugh first went national, and caller after caller would say, "I thought I was the only conservative left on the face of the earth?" It was *amazing* to hear him, after so many decades of a leftist stranglehold on all the media.
When you're dealing with slime and filth like Boxer, Pelosi, Schumer, et. al., you only hurt your cause when you treat them with respect they don't deserve.
We should be saying, "Hell, no, they don't deserve civility or respect. They are vile traitors, and we'll say anything about them we darn well please, so long as it's true." We should be reviling, mocking, name-calling, slamming them at every opportunity. To do otherwise is to elevate symbolism over substance.
"I'm from the rightwing intelligentsia, and I'm here to help."
You remind me of a comment William Buckley said many years ago. That he would rather be governed by the first 1000 names in the Boston phone book than by the combined faculties of Harvard and MIT.
Coulter et al have turned into those elites. I like how a blogger I read summed it up:
To all you lawyers and law professor types, irrespective of political bias: Put a sock in it. The Constitution was drafted by practical men who possessed enough common sense to write it in plain English. It’s less complicated than the Tax Code. So the idea that a real good lawyer who passed on the whole academic and judgeship routine to practice in the Real World can end up on the Supreme Court isn’t one that invokes much horror in those who inhabit said Real World. We know you think you’re the priesthood, and that only the priesthood can devine the meanings of the sacred text, but don’t take our silence on the matter as agreement with that particular thesis. For the most part, we’re just humoring you.
"What I meant was her reference to President Bush "boozing it up" in her column this week"
I didn't see that, and will refrain from comment until I do.
How nasty! What the HELL has gone wrong with Ann Coulter's head???? As an attorney Meyers could run rings around Ann Coulter! I just lost quite a bit of respect for Ann Coulter. And Bill Maher. Such a horny little creep. What does she see in him?
....some jobs are so dirty you can only send in someone who has the finely honed hatred of liberals acquired at elite universities
The devil is an abstraction for normal, decent Americans....at the top universities, you come face to face with the devil every day, and you learn all his little tropes and tricks
if we're looking for lawyers with giant brains....we want the nerd from an elite law school
Being on the Supreme Court isn't like winning a "Best Employee of the Month" award. It's a real job.
To casually spurn the people who have been taking slings and arrows all these years...while ignoring your infantrymen doing the fighting and dying.
While Bush was still boozing it up in the early '80s, Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Bork and all the founders of the Federalist Society began creating a farm team of massive legal talent on the right.

Batter up.
You seem to be forgetting, I am upset with Ann for referring the Miers as the cleaning lady. This was an uncalled for low blow, not true literally, and not true figuratively. What she said stinks, pure and simple. It has nothing to do with being tough against the left, which I believe we need to do. Its about an uncalled for insult to a republican supreme court nomination.
Ann blew it.
And if this is what the party has turned into, then I guess they don't need all us poor peons to do their bidding either. What a bunch of elitist creeps. This is absolutely turning my stomach.
First, Bush has no right to say "Trust me." He was elected to represent the American people, not to be dictator for eight years. Among the coalitions that elected Bush are people who have been laboring in the trenches for a quarter-century to change the legal order in America. While Bush was still boozing it up in the early '80s, Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Bork and all the founders of the Federalist Society began creating a farm team of massive legal talent on the right.Link
Don't you think it's bizarre for AC to call someone a cleaning lady whom she believes will overturn RvW?
I don't think any more of AC for being insulting than I do of anyone here who chooses to insult instead of discuss, no matter the subject.
Thanks.
Same here. She really needs to cool her jets. She will have called a Supreme Court Justice a "cleaning lady" because Meyers will be confirmed. That is a terrible disrespect and she ought to apologise.
