3. Speaking of Ahhnold
Did you see what Molly Ivins said about him? OMG I can hardly stop laughing. OK call me slow, but someone just gave me a link to it today. I spit up my coffee!


AUSTIN -- One problem I have with Arnold Schwarzenegger is that he looks like a condom stuffed with walnuts. I realize that is superficial, shallow and unbecoming to a semi-serious-minded liberal like myself, but there it is. The other is that he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to public policy.

12. Ivins has pushed increasingly to the far left
Which is good, she's got a book coming out later this year. As the NYT Bestseller list of this week shows, liberal books are the NEW KING.

2. The tolerant, high-minded title of Laura's new book: "Shut Up and Sing"
...their stridency is getting to the level of self-parody.

Thanks for opening the rest of the country's eyes, Al!

4. The funny thing about "Hollywood elites" they hate is that they're labor
and, in Hollywood, aren't really the elites. The elites in Hollywood are the CEOs who run the companies, and they're all super-conservative (they're the ones making sure Arnold gets good coverage).

It's similar to the liberal elite charge they make against regular people. Sure, a lot of upper middle class people are liberal, because they know what it took to have an environment in which they could succeed. But the people who are really on top in society, the real elites, who spend a lot of energy shutting out the upper middle class from having the opportunities they have (think, the Bush family) are fascistic right wingers. Yet, you rarely hear the media talk about our fascist overlords (except that David Brooks little piece of soft porn about how the elite boys schools produce such wonderful leaders is about the closest you get, and that was a masturbatory,fawning piece of crap).

6. Just a sprinkle of Hypocrisy and everything is magic
Let me see conservatice poltical talking heads: gained celebrity status by politics.

Actors and actresses whom are poltical: gained their celebrity by acting.

How can they defend themsevles?

10. Alan Colmes exposed her hypocrisy by asking why Charlie Daniels
wouldn't fall under the "shutup" mandate since he supports the Chimp. She started to stutter and stammer.
