If you don't already know what the image above references, read Kim's post on the latest stupid statement from Rosie O'Donnell. I can't help but wonder what Barbara Walters thinks of her controversial View host. Is that really the direction she wanted to go with the show? Terrorist sympathizing and Christian bashing makes headlines, and maybe it even helps ratings, but is that really what The View wants people associating with the show?

Man it's a toss up which of the two wins the award for being ugly. There is no toss up which is the most stupid, that award goes to the bitch. (didn't mean to insult women, just her)
Is there any proof they threw the baby away and kept the after birth and named it Rosie?

Fortunately, most of us politically savvy Americans don't formulate our political views based upon what entertainers like Rosie, Rush, Coulter, or Michael Moore say, RIGHT?
Ann Coulter says something stupid, and the left freaks out. Then someone like Rosie says something, and the right freaks out. Does pop media pundits/personalities dictate our politics? I sure as hell hope not.
Point: Rosie is a former comedian who makes her living by creating controversy and headlines. She is not a politcal analyst, and certainly does not have the most nuanced political views of all time. She is an entertainer, just like Rush, Coulter, Colber, O'Reilly, Moore, etc.
It's humorous and sad how much pop TV personalities can make both sides of the political spectrum freak out pretty much on command.

There is no comparison between Rosie O'Donnell and Ann Coulter.
I doubt Rosie O'Donnell is educated whatsoever and she's an actress and comedian with a long history of mental illness.
Ann had an Ivy League education, graduated from Michigan Law School, made Law Review, clerked for the federal appeals court, was a constitutional attorney, clerked for the senate fidicuiary committee etc. etc. Go read her impressive resume on her blog.
Let's not compare apples to oranges. People may not like the way Ann says things, but no one can question her credentials. No one can question her patriotism either.
Ann is brilliant and she's extremely accurate. Rosie is an idiot who has no idea what she's talking about as none of the liberals do.
So let's not compare the two.

Jo:
Ann Coulter makes a living by making statements which create headlines, Rosie O'Donnell does the same kind of thing. Coulter may indeed be well educated, but she is still more of an entertainer in my opinion.
I understand that Coulter has a nice resume. But I have also read her writing, and have not been impressed by either her logic, or her rhetoric.
Credentials are a nice resume are nice and all, but they really don't have much to do with the actual arguments that people make. Coulter is simplistic, one-sided, and highly partisan.
She is just another polemicist who makes a living by getting people worked up. Beyond the cute little political slams and the caustic statements, her arguments tend to lack depth. Sure, they get people upset and they sell lots of books, but none of that really does much to actually inform people.
Folks like Coulter are a part of the problem, or at least, a symptom of the problem these days. The same goes for Michael Moore.
Rosie, well, she's just a comedian who spouts her opinion because she has a pulpit.
I dont listen to any of them. They're media personalities, that's all.

Lorie, Rosie puts The View in the news, and she certainly beats the formerly obese black woman she replaced as measured in entertainment value. Would you rather have a current events rant or the latest hip hop gossip? Me too. And it's funny how Ann Coltish and Nosey O'Donnell are each sides' stalking horse. The lesbian versus the fag hag. Speaking of which: 1)Malkin meets former gay porn star, 2)then dissappears and leaves her beloved blog to gay porn star's Milfriends to fill up with whatever. 3)can we get an APB? 4)Is "Hot Air" a Front? Videography practice for some new line? The ribald readings under the heading (excuse)"Amanda Marcotte" struck me as odd at the time, but see (1) above.

Good remark about Trump. Makes me believe stronger than ever that i'm right about Trump. If he tried to pay his debt's there isn't enough money in his corporation to pay a penny on the dollar owed.

Again, there is no comparison between Ann & Rosie. Rosie has no idea what she's talking about, and Ann has a long history of working in law making, particularly constitutional law, policy making in Washington and the judiciary. She's not an entertainer, she's a pundit and analyst. She may say something shocking now and then but her regular analysis is brilliant.
Rosie is an entertainer, with some idiotic opinions. And most of the time she's not really a decent entertainer.
Ann is right, that's why the left hates her so much. Rosie is an idiot and that's why the right makes fun of her.

Ok, Ok. I understand that you like Coulter. What analysis of Coulter's do you find the most convincing, or as you put it, "brilliant"? If you point me to it, I'll read it.
I'm not concerned, at all, with Coulter's credentials. I am more interested in looking at what she actually argues in determining what I think about her. And yes, I have read some of her work. I have not, however, seen any analysis that I would call brilliant.
She seems to engage more in hyperbole and mud-slinging than any kind of actualy political analysis. But maybe I'm just reading the wrong things of hers.
But I'm not trying to stop you from reading her. I'd just be interested to see why you agree with her, and what you find the most compelling.

Yes, here she is, the darling of the far (and getting farther all the time) right...
From MMFA:
"Coulter first came to national prominence as a legal correspondent and pundit for MSNBC, which fired her for insulting a Vietnam veteran. The conservative National Review dropped her column after she responded to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, by stating that America should "invade their [terrorists'] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." In an interview with The New York Observer, Coulter stated that "[m]y only regret with [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." USA Today also removed Coulter as a columnist covering the 2004 Democratic National Convention after she referred to the gathering as the "Spawn of Satan convention."
She has become a highly visible pundit on the cable news circuit, noted for her particularly coarse and inflammatory invective directed at Democrats and progressives."
Ann enjoys her current level of prominence(?) among the uber-right because her bilious spew makes the rest of the fringe dwellers seem tame by comparison.

This is clearly one disturbed woman(?!). What is she so lacking in her life that she finds it necessary to bring such ugly attention to herself, to hate her country, to hate her countrymen that are willing to defend her rights, to mock the good and decent and to defend the deplorable.
I wasn't one bit surprised when reports came out that that she announced being treated FOR YEARS for clinical depression. The woman(?!) is a fruit basket of pyschological maladies ingesting serious drugs and in another (saner) time would be happily residing in an insane assylum.
Instead she's hailed on the public airwaves.

I would offer Ann Coulter's High Crimes and Misdemenaors as some very good writing. Not brilliant; she is prone to repeat some arguments several times over the course of the book. But better than many and certainly better than I could come up with. And her analysis of the lasting stain that Clinton was then inflicting on the country remains true to this day.
Her forte is rhetorical overkill, inflammatory invective, yea verily even unto the point thermite incindiary. So what? It is better quality and about the same corrosive pH as you get from Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Howard Dean. And that is before we get to the second tier democrat luminaries like Sheila Jackson Lee, Maurice Hinchley, Portnoy (Pete) Stark, and that raging loon from Seattle Jim (I had to look him up on google) McDermott.
What is most interesting is everyone in and out of the enemedia realize Ann is tossing bombs. But the LSM and leftards at least feign to regard that cast of clowns above as serious and sober (Kennedy, hic) statesmen.
