I've never seen Ann Coulter and Ted Danson at the same time!  

Alright you got me.  I'm Ann Coulter.

It was also a sign of prestige (and wealth) to be "Portly."

It must totally suck to be Anne Coulter -- to be so filled with self-hatred that it comes boiling out of you daily in a tirade of vile, bilious lies aimed at everyone you blame for your unhappiness.

As for the right treating Obama the way the left treated Bush, that was how the right treated Clinton, and the left treated Reagan, and the right treated Carter, and the left treated Nixon, and... Why should anyone break a pattern of childishness that's worked for so long?

I would respectfully disagree, midsize. Reagan got a lot of respect from the left, mostly for his persistence. Carter got a lot of respect from the right, mostly because he cleaned up most (but not all) the mess Nixon left behind.

It is appropriate for all of us to keep an eye on public officials. One source of the weirdness now has been the pointless attacks on Clinton: Whitewater, the suicide of the aide, while missing some really big problems, like Hillary's rather remarkable run of commodity trades. On the other hand, the left has completely ignored Bush's drug use. Go back and get a clip of his 2004 victory speech, then look up the symptoms of Xanax intoxication. George is still one heavy stoner.

Sadly, that explains so much.  But he played the Jesus card, so it won.  Worked in Jamestown and throughout history, but thankfully no longer.

The Dems also gained seats in the House and the Senate. They best keep a leash on Nancy Pelosi, and don't let this success go to their heads. The last two times a party controlled both the Presidency and Congress, they overreached and lost Congress in two years.

That's been my biggest concern. I've heard Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and a pile of Congress people say comments at least as stupid as some of the stuff Sarah Palin has said. Of course, they all have a lower profile, so much of it's flown under the radar.

Hi, Pendonbio;

Maybe it's a matter of the negative stuff sticking more in my memory, and I'll admit that your political memory is likely better than mine, but...

I *do* remember a lot of fanatical demonization of Reagan by the left - casting him as a trigger-happy nuclear cowboy who was going to start WWIII; going to town on him for napping in cabinet meetings; the "Ronald Wilson Reagan = 666 mark of the beast" connection. I really don't remember the left showing Reagan much respect, except maybe early on.

As for Carter, same thing. Maybe the right was ok on him early, but they savaged him over the Iran hostage crisis, the various ethics problems in his cabinet, and now he's mocked and hated probably more even than Clinton is among conservatives.

I agree that things reached a new level of organized intensity under the attack machine that developed against Clinton, but it seems to me that as long as I can remember people have been ripping the shit out of the other guys' Presidents.

I've heard on some overseas (to the USA) gambling sites you can already place bets on when Obama makes his first big screw up.  It looks like the smart money is on Vladimir Putin eating him alive.

No fear of that happening, since we have Sarah "Africa is one big country" Palin on the case, when Putin does his head-rearing thing again.

Oh, and Ann Coulter is a rat bastard. Bush 43 did not get respect because he neither gave nor deserved it.

Early on Reagan term he had all those warmonger in his administration. Some were from the Gerald Ford terms and some were put together by Sr Bush. When Nixon became impeach, Gerald Ford took over and IMHO got bowled over by the cabinet. Reagan Exclaim that "the crazy have taken over" after he got shot by Hinckly, whom was a family friend of Sr Bush(I know....smell like conspiracy)Reagan did 2 things, he cleaned up house and he change security from the secret service to the military. Many of these people that work under Sr Bush became part of the Jr Bush administration. Also right after the hostage crisis Rumsfield was accuse of negotiating for the hostage to stay put until after the election. I think the left showed Reagan respect later on as oppose to early on. To me he was known as the "Jelly Bean" president. As an actor he smoke a lot on and off screen, and he quit his habit by switching to Jelly Bean.

As for Jimmy Carter ethics??? He may be the first to be the most honest president, and maybe too honest to even work in the DC Washington!!!

Notty, you have to put that insult in the insult thread!

I really think that Obama is not going to fall prey to a lot of the same crap most politicians do. He is pretty damn smart, seems honestly to want to do the right thing and knows how to sell his schtick. Most politicians are one or two, but not all three.

If he keeps making smart moves, Putin will not try to cross him just because, Putin really wants to fix his country and save face. The only reason Russia got aggro was because the Bush administration was provoking them by placing missiles on their border and courting their border nations for NATO while simultaneously showing weakness in our two current wars.

I think you'll see that Obama will negotiate where he can because he knows we can't afford an arms race right now.

On Monday, the Obamas met with the Bushes in the White House. History continues to roll along right before our eyes...

Wow.  Ann Coulter...

Can't reply from such horse-evil replies.
