Run That By Me Again?

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/Idiocy1 Comment

Feminist-obsessed, UNC-Wilmington criminology professor "Dr." Mike Adams, writing at conservative Townhall: The liberal reaction to Cheney’s accident may vary slightly from liberal to liberal but there is one common characteristic; namely, these liberals feel morally superior because they’ve never shot someone on a hunting trip. Actually, he’s right.  I do feel somewhat morally superior for, you know, never having shot … Read More

Fox News Answers All Your Questions

Ken AshfordRight Wing and Inept MediaLeave a Comment

A typical day for Fox. Hume asked Cheney the pressing question — I’m not kidding — of whether or not he hit the bird.  Jeez.  Like that old joke "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?", except it’s, you know, real.  [UPDATE:  Shakespeare’s Sister’s line is good, too: "Mrs. Kennedy, did you at least get to do some … Read More

The Felonious Ann Coulter

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/IdiocyLeave a Comment

Heh: Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections records show Coulter voted last week in Palm Beach’s council election. Problem is: She cast her ballot in a precinct 4 miles north of the precinct where she owns a home — and that could be a big no-no. Coulter, who owns a $1.8 million crib on Seabreeze Avenue, should have voted in … Read More

The Cult Of Bush

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/IdiocyLeave a Comment

Glenn Greenwald has written the seminal post on the "Cult Of Bush", and everybody is talking about it: "The blind faith placed in the Federal Government, and particularly in our Commander-in-Chief, by the contemporary "conservative" is the very opposite of all that which conservatism has stood for for the last four decades. The anti-government ethos espoused by Barry Goldwater and … Read More

Guess What? Kaye Grogan Is Angry

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/Idiocy1 Comment

Today, it’s at ABC . . . I think. Shame on the Super Bowl coordinators for lining up several notables to be recognized just before the National Anthem Sunday, but failing to mention our troops for a job well done. The troops are done?  Cool. By the way, Kaye, the National Anthem?  Kind of a tribute to war.  Just sayin’…. … Read More

Malkin’s Priorities

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/IdiocyLeave a Comment

Michelle Malkin: When it comes to speaking and writing on unpleasant matters, I learned a long time ago to stop apologizing. It is a waste of my breath, time, and energy to precede every political discussion with "I’m not saying all [X] are [Y]." Or: "Of course, I don’t hate all [Z] and please don’t misunderstand me, blah, blah, blah." … Read More

What Earwax And Body Odor Tell Us About American History

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/Idiocy1 Comment

Conservative columnist Debbie Schlussel is serious: Today’s New York Times details a Japanese scientific on earwax and body odor in Asians vs. Europeans and Africans. There is actually an "earwax gene" in DNA that determines this. But the paper glosses over the most important finding. The study found that Europeans and Africans tend to have wet ear wax, sweat more, … Read More

Wanker Of The Week

Conservative columnist and pundit Ann Coulter: "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee," Coulter said. Wha?!?  Then Coulter added: "That’s just a joke, for you in the media." A joke. Oh, I get it!!  Hahahahaha!!!! Murdering a Supreme Court judge!  That’s hysterical!!!!  Hahahahahaha!  And it’s funny because it’s sooooo true! Yup.  The no-longer-crack-addicted* and irony-impaired … Read More

Kaye Grogan Is Confused

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/Idiocy1 Comment

Time to check in on our favorite Renew America wingnut, Kaye Grogan. Today Kaye writes about Kerry, the Alito nomination, and abortion.  She gets off to a shaky start: Senator John Kerry is trying for one last "hurrah" using Judge Samuel A. Alito as his whipping post — calling for a filibuster. A last hurrah?  Is Kerry going somewhere? Where … Read More

The 2006 George W. Bush Dead Kitten Survey

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/IdiocyLeave a Comment

Cartoonist (see right) and blogger August Pollak wonders how far some conservative bloggers, talk show personalities, and pundits will go in their support of Bush. So he sent them a questionnaire: I would like for you to imagine the President of the United States, George W. Bush, killing kittens one-by-one with a hammer. When doing so, please keep in mind … Read More

The Unbiased Media

Ken AshfordAbramoff Scandal, Right Wing and Inept MediaLeave a Comment

I’ve been following the WaPo story with some interest, but haven’t commented on it.  And now, when I’m prepared to comment, Legal Fiction steals my thunder. For those not up on it, it started with the Post’s Ombudsman, Deborah Howell, writing that Jack Abramoff gave money to Republicans and Democrats alike.  This created a howl from the left blogosphere, simply … Read More

The So-Called Liberal Media

Ken AshfordRight Wing and Inept MediaLeave a Comment

Right-wingers like to blast the New York Times because of its supposed liberal bias.  I never understood that. Take today’s paper.  The page one headline reads "Inquiry on Clinton Official Ends With Accusations of Cover-up".  The "Clinton official" is Henry Cisneros, who was indicted on 18 felony counts, pled guilty to a misdemeanor, and was eventually pardoned by President Clinton.  … Read More

Huh?!?

Ken AshfordRight Wing Punditry/IdiocyLeave a Comment

Michelle Malkin links to another post which discusses "the Dems’ failed approach to the War on Terror" (Malkin’s words). Yup.  We’ve tried it the Dem way, and it "failed".  So says the increasingly irrelevant Malkin.

Debating Bill

Fox News has a contest in which 6 winners (picked by Fox News, of course) get to "debate" Bill O’Reilly on the air on any topic they desire (did I mention the 6 winners — and their desired topics — are picked by Fox News?). Deep in the contest rules, we find this little tidbit of verbiage: Sponsor reserves full … Read More
