Looks like another south FL "trial by media" attack on the opposition.

This area is becoming a southern branch of the Duke Lacrosse prosecutor's office.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Seeing as this happened MONTHS ago, and is just now coming to media attention (mostly because your namesake is being a nonresponsive douche about the whole thing), well, I'm going to have to go with "You're wrong, sport."

Yeah, just now coming to the media's attention...a week before the election...if this was Al Franken, it wouldnt be a story. But then again, thats because the American public would go, "who the hell is Al Franken?"

We'll be seeing a lot of this in the coming days. It's called recency of events. It's political strategy to keep ideas fresh in the minds of the voters. If it works or not is another issue.

Then again, it probably does work on certain people.

shinerbock 11-02-2006 03:16 PM

Oh I know. Sometimes I am baffled how somebody can flip-flop so much, especially between distinct candidates.

Or because Al Franken grew up in Minneapolis and understands where to vote.

Give it a rest. If it were Franken, it would still be a story.

I agree with you on the timing, though. I'm not listening to either side for the next week.

But, then again, I've already voted.

shinerbock 11-02-2006 11:41 PM

Haha, I'd love to see Al Franken challenge Ann Coulter's intelligence. This is laughable.

Al Franken graduated from Harvard, and Ann Coulter graduated from Cornell and U of Michigan Law. I think that they are an even match in terms of intelligence.

I really hate the days before an election. All the news stories and commercials are nasty as hell and make me cringe.

It doesn't take intelligence to be a giant attention-whore she-he. You just have to say the most outrageous things possible and pretend you believe them. Then you write books about it. Hell, I might try it, it's working for Cooter.

Haha did you see the commercials that showed a guy driving his car into a brick wall over and over?

shinerbock 11-03-2006 01:37 AM

Al Franken is probably intelligent, but Coulter went to Cornell, was editor of the LR at UMich, clerked for the Court of Appeals, and now just generally makes more sense. I'll take Ann, any day. Ask Al Franken about how Air America is doing, oh wait, America could give a damn about liberal talk radio.

sdsuchelle 11-03-2006 01:48 AM

I actually listen to conservative radio just as much as liberal radio (which isn't very much), but only because I like laughing at the crazy ass conservatives. They seem to have more radical views and say stupid things more often.

Anyway Ann Coulter is just a media whore.

shinerbock 11-03-2006 01:49 AM

She's a smart, rich, mediawhore.

Why is South Florida such a clusterf--k?

Are we talking about the same Cooter here? Because nothing she says ever makes sense. It's all sensationalist bullshit. Also, I know you've got it in for 'hurrr lie-berals' but can we give the arch-nemesis on the political spectrum spiel a rest. Please?

Al Franken went to Harvard. Did that stop being a good school?

You should hope not, otherwise you may have to transfer.

True. Of course, he went to Harvard, so that pretty much means they both should have some smarts.

again true, but as you'll see, there can be more than a little bit of crazy in that.

True.

Hahahahaha! That's good. That's like saying a babbling chimpanzee makes more sense than a babbling gorilla.

They're both media whores who add little of value to public discourse.

shinerbock 11-03-2006 11:44 AM

Harvard is a good school, but I think Coulter's resume is a little more accomplished. Franken is a celebrity in a political pundit's costume.

What makes Coulter anything more than a celebrity in a political pundit's costume? Sometimes called a mediawhore.

shinerbock 11-03-2006 12:28 PM

She's got quite a resume, check it out. Its on wikipedia, always the reliable source.

She's a man in a celebrity costume in a political pundit costume. Nothing he says is of any value whatsoever.

shinerbock 11-03-2006 12:40 PM

She's great.

OK, I looked at both resumes on the always reliable source.

One graduated Cum Laude from Harvard, one from Cornell.

From there the paths are different but have some similarities. One went to law, one to entertainment. Both are authors. Both are described as "pundits."

In my opinion, both are now "entertainers."

shinerbock 11-03-2006 01:13 PM

I think they're both entertainers as well, but I think Coulter has substantially more experience in the legal/political field.

Franken's degree is in Government, often known as Political Science.

That was one of my minors, not that it's relevent to this discussion.

Did you hear the Adam Carolla show when he hung up on her? It was FANTASTIC. Stupid twat got what she deserved.

Maybe. Too bad she doesn't take better advantage of it. She presumably has the legal education and experience to know how to construct persuasive and supportable arguments, yet intead she is, as you conceded, a media whore. A rich one maybe, and smart enough to laugh all the way to the bank, but a media whore nonetheless.

shinerbock 11-03-2006 03:45 PM

Government and Political Science are not impressive degrees. They teach you very little about policy and politics. Now if he graduated from Kennedy then that is quite impressive.

I shall refer you to XOXO on the Kennedy school.

"I am my kid's mom"
 
Al has used some low tricks to sell books (like using other's names on his crummy books: Rush, God, etc.) but this is the lowest:

If you now order his boxed set (and he has plenty returns to stick in boxes), you get a free "Dr. Laura Talking Action Figure".

It's described: The figure stands 11 inches tall and "preaches, teaches and nags" on demand. With each push of a button, the Dr. Laura doll speaks one of 23 of her most well-known sayings in her own voice. These sayings include, "Now, go do the right thing," "I am the proud mother of an American Soldier," "Don't argue with me, it makes me testy," and "I am my kid's mom."

If you really want to support Al, for a $500 contribution to his midwestvaluespac.org, he'll call a conservative of your choice and lie to him or her.
