She said WHAT?

I continue to be amazed at the narrow minded, right wing, bigotry in this country. Although I don't know why. When the poster child for the right is interviewed and shit continues to drop from her lips...Ann Coulter was interviewed by Donny Deutsch on CNBC (He is by the way, Jewish) - he asked her what the US looks like in her dreams.

The response? It would look like the Republican National Convention in 2004! Are you fucking kidding me? Followed up by "People were happy,” she said, “They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America."

On what planet are they tolerant? That is the biggest oxymoron I have ever heard. She continued the conversation to state that yes it would be better if we were all all Christian.

So let me ask this? At what point is she better than any radical Muslim who believes they must covert the world to Islam? When do we put her on a terrorist watch list - condemned by her own words?

But then I read that AL GORE WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!!!!! What a contrast...the citation for the prize praised Gore's "strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."

How sad is it though that the chairman of the prize committee had to come out with a statement saying that they weren't singling out the Bush administration for criticism.

I know that Al probably will not run for president in 2008 - but I hope that whomever wins has the intelligence to put him on the cabinet, with the power to make some real change in this country's direction before it's too late for the whole world. This isn't just our country that we are busy ruining.

Thanks Al for all of your work!

Yeah, I saw this on The Today Show on NBC this morning. Donny said that she really believes this stuff and is not just for shock value. Who would be brave enough to date this woman? She seems to spout off hateful things. I would like to find out what HER childhood was like.

Unfortunately, Tawny, she is a popular woman who has a successful business of sorts. SIGH. Maybe she will get a rude awakening one day.

Other than that...Abe Vigoda is still not dead. Thought you'd like to know.
