The Hot Blog

Ha ha! Me thinks that the only line crossed there was from funny to hilarious!

Great cover!

Okay David, 2 questions:

First why were you watching The View.

And secondly, why were you watching The View?

The same reason everyone watches The View -- that Whoopi Goldberg is smokin' hot.

David watches a lot of daytime television. His more passionate blog entries often follow hard on the heels of particularly torrid episodes of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL.

I have explained this before... I was a fan of the chat segment even before Rosie. I rarely watch the show past that point. But when I sit down to the computer with a up of coffee, it is often the first thing to come up on the HD/DVR after a quick check of CNN to make sure the world is still moving slowly towards self-destruction and not speeding up that morning.

It is the same for me as watching a bit of O'Reilly or The Daily Show or listening to Randi Rhoades or Michael Medved... I don't tend to get factual insight, but I do get a whiff of some of the perspectives out there, more often talking points than not.

What amazes me this morning, driving around LA, is the male, right wing, Jewish support of Ann Coulter. Frankly, I don't care if she wants me perfected, but any Jew who doesn't chose to see that for what it is seems to be bending towards ideology rather than whatever degree of offense is appropriate.

Well, either that or they just want to bang a blond shiksa.

I've noticed that support for Coulter too, David, from a lot of my right-wing family members (we're all Jews). I really don't understand it, the closest I can come up with is the Repubs policy of having close ties with Israel, but Coulter is in her own freaking world. I think all the attention that is focused on her is exactly what she wants and we all play into it by expressing our shock at whatever incendiary thing she says.

But I do think it's important to get a wide variety of perspectives; that way, it's easier to be suspect of everyone and cynical about everything.

"What amazes me this morning, driving around LA, is the male, right wing, Jewish support of Ann Coulter."

I guess if you look like, say, Andrea Dworkin, and spout a bunch of spongiform-brained rubbish, you're a loony tunes. But if you look like Ann Coulter, Jews start throwing themselves in the ovens for you. What's so amazing about that?

Ouch.

Ouch is right. The over metaphors are beyond uncalled for.

I love fold-out covers :)mmmm Scarlett

Coulter is a about as mook as a mook can get. How anyone can treat her as a focal point of any moment is beyond me. Seriously... the affect on her voice is enough to make me want to ignore everything that she says.

One of the liberal bloggers wrote an interesting piece in which he said Coulter is not as bad as Michelle Malkin--the difference being that Coulter is more of a performance artist who just wants to shock people in order to sell books and land speaking engagements, whereas Malkin really is a true believer; he says he could never imagine Coulter stalking the Frost family the way Malkin did.

And while all of us Jewboys want blonde shiksahs, we do prefer them to be born female.

I read that post a couple of days ago too and thought it was the most insightful thing I have read on either woman in ages. It only leaves out one point - both are bat shit insane

So Hilary is the nominee of the three?
