Coulter's voting trouble

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.

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.

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.

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

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 · #10 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.

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?

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.

Cornell is a safety school!

Why is South Florida such a clusterf--k?

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.
