With thanks to Booman Tribune.
It's not just Ann Coulter that we have to counter for the filth that comes out of her mouth.
It's the echo chambermaids that take up the slack when she's quit the field:
I saw this on BT this morning, a little squib by WaPo columnist Kathleen Parker:
Now, thanks to the omnipresent and unforgiving YouTube - and the incessant linkage of Web sites - John Edwards isn't just associated with hair. He is hair.
He's also a stand-in for Narcissus, mesmerized by his own beauty reflected in the small mirror he holds up to appraise himself. I feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and ... oh never mind.
And frankly, it riled me to no end.
These people have nothing else to talk about?
This is a fucking noncontroversy compared to our waiting to hear what John and Elizabeth Edwards have to say to us this morning.
But I just wanna know whether some of you greying Boomers remember this show on ABC?
It was 77 Sunset Strip. With Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., Roger Smith, and the ubiquitous hip wannabe--to fluttering females of that time--Edd "Kookie" Byrnes.
Kookie was perennially combing his "wet-look," Brylcreamed hair. Women thought that this was behavior--in the sexless Fifties--leading up to some heavy breathing.
The Fonz was like this, too on Happy Days--checking out his pompadour faithfully before he scored some chick.
This is no big deal. I've seen guys from junior high on check themselves and even primp before they went out on some important errand, interview, date, whathaveyou, whether it is before men or women. It didn't matter if they were straight or gay.
Guys wanna look good, period. Hence the variety of hair styles, bearded or shaven looks that they present. And it doesn't matter if they are fat or slim, short or tall.
AND THIS IS CALLED 'FAG' BEHAVIOR that John Edwards wants to look his best and show his best side before thousands of people?
So 'real men' don't think about how they look? Or that there is something 'wrong' with a man if he seems fixated with perfection? Or that vanity is something attributable to women, and not men?
Not with all the male cosmetics on the market...
I'm on the fence now as far as supporting a particular candidate. I once supported Edwards until I read about his AIPAC foray in Israel. It was a difference in tactics and opinion, not a personal qualm about him or the way he conducts himself.
Compared to Wolfowitz using his own saliva to wet comb his hair before a video interview during Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911, this isn't half so off-putting or even important. I've never seen the You Tube video, and I don't think it's necessary, even for a laugh. Because it is not about issues.
Shall we imagine what Hillary's stylist has to do each time her employer appears on camera and among audiences?
Swear to gods below and above, the MSM are a bunch of GOP enablers. They don't know what else to do with themselves except to be propagandists or echo chambers for the very worst haters in this country. There is no level to which they won't sink.
It has nothing to do with gender when I say that these are some evil, evil bitches.
