Even with Michael Moore disappearing from publicity or Democratic Convention view, the Talk Show Right still loves to label the Democrat (sic) Party "The Party of Michael Moore." Why not? It's a classic. Associating someone or something with your rival, who you know your base will hate, works.

And while we're talking about something that people hate: Ann Coulter.

No need to go through the plethora of Ann's detester d'object cred...but just to bring you up to snuff, last night on Hannity & Colmes, Ann explained that the word "faggot" was not a demeaning slang for gays, but a "schoolyard" term used by kids to humiliate other kids. See? Now it's funny.

Why liberals and 99.9% of West Hollywood didn't get the "joke" the way Ann meant it can probably be traced to their lack of getting beat up enough in the schoolyard.

Is there now any doubt that the Republican Party is wholly familiar with Ann's other hysterical schoolyard jokes, like 9/11 widows being "self-obsessed women...enjoying their husbands' deaths" or her "raghead" reference at previous CPAC conference? Yet they still invite her to pump up the CPAC crowd. And she is still guest-staple throughout the Fox News (sic) Network.

They love the girl and her "schoolyard" jokes." It's time to remind the voter that they do. Everyday. Every way.

From now on, when talking about the Republican Party or their candidates, let's call them like they are...

THE PARTY OF ANN COULTER.

They deserve each other.

We Malign Coultergeist

Of course it was a joke. And not only did she mean no offense by it, but she thunk it up all by herself.

Clearly she was sending a mixed good/bad, but not that bad, message about John Edwards.

Fag: A student of a British public school -- that's good.
Fag: A hard worker --that's good.
Fag: A cigarette -- that's bad.
Faggot: A bundle of twigs, stick, branches -- that's good.
Faggot: A bundle of iron or steel -- that's good.
Faggot: A method of creating decorative hourglass designs in cloth. -- that's good; who doesn't like an hourglass?

What she was really saying is that John Edwards is a hard working public school student who collects sticks and twigs for recycling, scraps of iron and steel for art projects and designs fabrics while smoking.

Nothing wrong with that. How could anyone possibly think she meant it as a vile, contemptible, obscene, malicious slander that she pulled out of her bony ass.
