Okay, I've decided to do this as a short story or maybe a novella.

I've aligned Rush Limbaugh with a super-villain called "Lowbrow" who has the power to numb minds and mentally dominate people. I'm looking for others to include and want to find the perfect aliases and super-powers to reflect the various RW figures.

Part of me is tempted to do the same thing with notable LW figures, but maybe that would be a little over the top. I'm thinking perhaps I should stick to the plan as it stands now.

Besides, I already named the heroine in my next novel, Sword and Shadow, Val, after Valerie Plame. Not that it's obvious or anything, but I named her in tribute to the woman. Silly, perhaps, since no one else will ever know that but those I tell.

I don't NEED DU's help with this, but I'm thinking it might be a fun diversion for some of us.

Huh. Another one just hit me. How about a villain called Insanity (Sean Hannity) who can induce paranoia and phobias in other people with just a look. Maybe even other mental illnesses.

I'm trying to think of something for Coulter. Any ideas? Or do I need to plumb the depths of my own imagination for this one too?

:evilgrin:

1. The Sean Hannity villain should be able to hypnotize people with his shiny hair helmet. nt

[msongs]

2. maybe you could plumb your bathroom and get some ideas & similarities! nt

3. Anyone as hateful as Couter

deserves a damn good name. Insanity is good Hannity. Damn I'd have loved to heard his radio rant on Nov. 7!

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Michael Medved should be The Obfuscator

Whenever someone starts to discuss anything rationally, The Obfuscator screams "Think of the children!" and everyone has to table the subject.

5. Coulter the hag

spends her days beside a steaming cauldron of ______, which she stirs and tastes and spews on anyone who gets near her.

[porphyrian]

6. The villians could all revere a now-deceased villian/leader...

...whose power was to make most people forget everything he did wrong, himself included. They leave jelly beans at his grave instead of flowers, because he loved them.

9. Oooh, I like it.

The Raygun. heh heh

[cool user name]

7. Attila The Coulter or Ann Khan

Either way, she's the scourge of any rational and decent thought.

8. It was a dark and stormy night.

You could smell the putrid rain falling over eves of the outhouse behind the town hall where the citizens had gathered to discuss the great unraveling. In the brief staccato of lightening you could see the clumps looking like brown and yellow snow falling from the sky, striking the roofs below, and oozing over the edge to the ground below. As it piled higher and higher, you could see the Fellowship of the Just, lead by Cony er the Humble struggling to overcome the putrid sludge being rained down upon them...

11. Interesting...

Not sure how it relates, but excellent descriptive prose. Lose the first sentence and you've got a winner. :)

13. It's allways a dark & stormy night as far as the 'cons are concerned.

It's up to you to finish the story.....

14. There is that, isn't there? n/t

10. You could figure out something to do with a swan for Coulter.

Swans are beautiful and graceful birds, but meaner than hell. I really always thought of her as a mean swan, because she has played on her appearance a lot in the past and is deceiving until she shows what she is.

[stillcool]

15. I like a bird for Coulter...

but a vulture would be more my choice....flying solo, searching for sweetness and innocence that she gobbles up and when mixed with her highly acidic stomach acids turns into the vilest of bile which she then regurgitates with a big, throaty to shrill crow, that drives sane people mad.

[1monster]

12. Anne Coulter should be SCREAMIN' MEME, able to temporarily

deafen anyone anyhere within a five thousand yard radius of her screamin' meme...

[valerief]

16. Eve-Ann the Coulterrible, Tsar of Vile. nt

[EstimatedProphet]

17. How about Bill O'Reilly as Ozymandias?

He is able to project his super-sized ego, so that anyone seeing it would become overwhelmed at his superiority and be terrified.
