Life is but a Dream

Well Ms. Ann Coulter's latest work takes aim at the CIA. Apparently the CIA is to blame for the Governments inability to prevent September 11th. Also, President Bush should be exonerated for failing to make any changes at the CIA since September 11th. She doesn't say that, but it's assumed.

But even that little tidbit pales in comparison to the whopper she tells later on in the article. "For 50 years liberals have called Republicans idiots, fascists, anti-Semites, racists, crooks, shredders of the Constitution and masterminds of Salvadoran death squads. Only recently have they added the epithet "liar." Even noted ethicist Al Franken has switched from calling conservatives "fat" to calling them "liars.""

Minor point first. Actually Franken in his book, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot," relayed that he originally planned to call it "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar." So it's not entirely a switch.

Major point second. Can anybody think of a five letter name that refutes Ms. Coulter's larger point. Starts with N, and remarkably it has a X right in the middle of it. That's right--it's Nixon. You remember Nixon, Ms. Coulter? Liberals did call him a liar as I recall. Of course this isn't technically a lie. You can't believe that Ann expects anybody to take her literally.

Oh and how about this particularly nasty phrase. "Clinton also lied every time he said "God bless America," though he doesn't believe in God or America, and I don't recall any Republican ever ripping his skin off about that." Thank God for Clinton, eh, Ms. Coulter? Without him to attack, you'd have to figure out some way to actually suggest that George Bush was good for America. A task which is presumably beyond you.
