USA Today doesn't get much


iconAlthough I rarely read Ann Coulter, I laughed out loud at this. What's funny is not so much what Coulter had to say, but the reaction of the nitwits at USA Today who were tasked with editing her column. I can picture their faces as they try to pretend that they truly don't get what Ms. Coulter is trying to say. (USA Today comments are in CAPS)

A speaker at the Democratic National Convention this year, Al Sharpton, accused white police officers of raping and defacing Tawana Brawley in 1987, lunatic charges that eventually led to a defamation lawsuit against Sharpton and even more eventually, to Sharpton paying a jury award to the defamed plaintiff Steve Pagones. So it's a real mystery why cops wouldn't like Democrats.

    My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention.

  • USA Today: NOT FUNNY, I DON'T GET IT.

    Looking at the line-up of speakers at the Convention, I have developed the 7-11 challenge: I will quit making fun of, for example, Dennis Kucinich, if he can prove he can run a 7-11 properly for 8 hours. We'll even let him have an hour or so of preparation before we open up. Within 8 hours, the money will be gone, the store will be empty, and he'll be explaining how three 11-year olds came in and asked for the money and he gave it to them.

    I'd say I love all these Democrats in Boston so much I want them to go home, but I don't. I want Americans to get a good long look at the French Party and keep the 7-11 challenge in mind.

  • USA Today: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "THE FRENCH PARTY"? I DON'T GET IT.
  • Michelle Malkin points out that their not getting the reference to the French Party just goes to show that they aren't reading their own paper.

    Actually, I have a lot of respect for Dennis Kucinich. I may disagree with him 100 percent, but I can trust him to be him. That is a lot more than I can say about many politicians of ANY party.
