The hypocritical, whiney, hysterical rightwing has melted down over my speculative comment that Karl Rove's poor behavior as human may have inspired his mother to commit suicide (whoops, I did it again). Poor taste? You bet. But no worse than Karl Rove spreading rumors that John McCain fathered a black child out of wedlock, attacking the patriotism of war veterans like John Murtha and John Kerry, or using the lie of alleged links between Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. No one has died because of my comment, but Karl Rove's lies and fabrications played a direct role in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers in Iraq, not to mention the tens of thousands of Iraqis who have died. So, in taking on Karl Rove I apologize for nothing.
What is truly funny is that I have become the "leftist" version of Ann Coulter. She may have a bigger Adam's Apple than me but I bet I look better in a dress. Also, ignore the fact that I am still a registered Republican and consider myself a traditional conservative (not one of those religious nuts). Now, while I would love to have the exposure and reach of Annie, I am thoroughly puzzled how my one mean spirited comment puts me on par with the gal who has said, among other things:
About the media: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."
About John Murtha: The reason soldiers invented "fragging."
About the 9-11 widows: "These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation, and acted as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. . . . These broads are millionaires lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities. . . . I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much. . . .
Ann Coulter regrets the New York Times was not blown up like the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, suggests a Congressman be murdered, and whacks widows who have the temerity to complain that their government failed them on 9-11. Yet, I'm the bad guy?
