Each of Ann Coulter's four books has been a slam at the Left. Liberal-bashing is her bread and butter.

Al Franken was a professional comedian and writer for over 20 years before he published 'Rush Limbaugh is A Big Fat Idiot'.

Just thought a little truth might be in order here.

That's not news to me. The difference is that Ann Coulter is successful at what she does. She doesn't NEED to sit there talking about Al Franken the way he talks about her. And in general she doesn't. He, on the other hand, talks about her all the time. It's almost creepy, like he has a crush on her or something.

An Ingraham effect? Urm, no.

How about a positive YES!

A man who thought oceans protected us, a man who apparently never heard of Pearl fvcking Harbor, a man who allowed the executions of numerous people when he was governor of Texas despite being unaware that killers can destroy innocent life, a man who was asleep at the switch on 9/11/01, would not be my first, second, or ten billionth choice to protect our country.

That's not what Bush thought. That's what the country thought. The 'we' refers to the United States of America. The concept he is talking about is called isolationism, something the nation was steeped in until we were forced out of it in World War II.

The best part about Bush's mess ups is that I get to sit back and say 'Well, I didn't vote for him.'

WWKD? (What Would Kerry Do?) Think about the screw-ups he would've caused, and had he been in the presidency, I could kick back too and say "Well, I didn't vote for him." I could do that, but I wouldn't. Sitting back and watching a person make mistakes isn't my bag. No matter who is in office, I'd rather that they succeed and do some good. I might not be fond of them or voted for them, but they deserve some dignity. I think most of us learnedabout helping others in kindergarten... sitting back and being carefree is rather cruel. So much for the "compassionate, caring, accepting liberals"...

Actually what you have here is the latest administration excuses for failure talking points being distributed to, and parroted by, all the usual suspects. Blaming the media seems like the last, and most desperate, act of a nothing's-our-fault administration.

Do you honestly think that the media is unbiased? And that they are reporting the whole story? What do you think people's views of the war are going to be when all you hear about are IEDs exploding. And little to no news coverage of anything positive happening, even though it is happening. And now the MSM is caught in a sticky spot. They DON'T talk with the troops. They DON'T talk to the Iraqis. They are completely removed and even feel that they are above talking to the "uneducated" men and women in uniform. Chris Matthews said as much recently. The MSM haven't been able to sucessfully go after Laura Ingraham's accusations. Why? Because as usual, she has a strong point, and just like most of the lefties on her show, they end up sputtering because she, as usual, outwitted them with her superior intellect and biting remarks.

But hey, far be it for me to come between you and Laura I. Carry on with the hero worship.

I don't "hero worship" Laura Ingraham. She happens to be my favorite pundit, and with good reason.
