This Statment Is Not, As Far As I Know, Intentionally Funny
Tweet
And yet, it’s probably the funniest thing I’ve seen since Borat.
You know, the conservative movement features a lot of brilliant men and women. Erick Erickson, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, Ann Althouse, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham – these are names all of us know, and there are so many more.
You forgot Mallard Fillmore.

The comments are comedy gold. I actually pity people who call themselves conservatives today.
He didn’t say brilliant at what.
Excellent punch line!
Funny how you cherry pick that comment but you fail to acknowledge how the response to what Ann Coulter said doesn’t fit in with your blanket accusations a few entries down.
The response to what she said negates the fact that she said it?
The comments of the readers of Red State center around the notion that conservatives have taken the moral high ground and denounced Coulters liberal inspired tactics of hate. Give me a break. They invented disinformation and intolerance. Their self rightous moral grandstanding, while saying she is right but said it wrong makes me want to puke.
Rightwing parody writes itself.
Frankly, Coulter just drove a stake through the heart of what little chance Romney had to get the Repug nomination.
I really wonder what Romney’s campaign advisors were thinking when they so neatly associated their candidate with the likes of Coulter.
Jay, Coulter was applauded, no Republican candidate has remotely condemned her. That already says all it needs to.
“Funny how you cherry pick that comment but you fail to acknowledge how the response to what Ann Coulter said doesn’t fit in with your blanket accusations a few entries down.”
Are you going to reverse yourself when Ann Coulter is invited to speak at yet another conservative gathering? Or invited to go on Hannity & Colmes to attack liberals? Or get yet another book deal and is praised by the right?
Why would that be the case if Coulter actually represents the thinking of the Right?

Repugs like to keep their bigotry and racism sotto voce. They prefer it in doses of code-speak (ala the Corker ads against Ford), not in racial or bigoted epithets.
I suspect many GOP campaign poohbahs know Romney has handed his opponents a big, big club.
You can’t deny Coulter doesn’t speak for Repugs. After all, year after year, she shares the stage with the senior leadership of the GOP.
JWG has a point, there.
Jadegold, I don’t deny that Coulter speaks for many Republicans. If they don’t have a problem with Coulter, then they won’t shun Romney.
P.S. Not surprisingly, I’m still waiting for evidence that “Bob Ney was the Republican House Ethics instructor” that you claim to have.
Romney’s campaign died yesterday.
JWG’s nonexistent article on Ney
no Republican candidate has remotely condemned her.
Not so fast.
I suppose form letters count.
Thanks…do you not wonder why the article doesn’t exist at the newspaper’s own site anymore?
Do you not wonder why no other media outlet reported this “news”?
Of course you don’t.
However, I do thank you for the link. You did provide the evidence.

Not at all. Newspapers frequently delete or archive old news stories after a period of time from their online editions.
Ney was head of the House Administration Committee since 2001 until he went to the hoosegow. As part of his duties, he was reponsible for instructing incoming Reps on ethical standards.
There’s no evidence that Ney actually instructed anyone.
NOT this particular newspaper. I can find articles about Ney all the way back to 2001 on their website.
Their article was false, so they deleted it.
“Ms. Coulter, asked for a reaction to the Republican criticism, said in an e-mail message: “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.””
She.just. can’t. help. herself.
