Coulter and O’Donnell Find A Point Of Agreement And Guess What It Was . . .

A couple of past students went to the debate between Ann Coulter and Lawrence O’Donnell and were surprised b one exchange. Despite being continents apart, I became a point on which Coulter and O’Donnell agreed. While some would say this is a sign of the apocalypse, I say it is merely an expression the great unifying healing force that I send throughout the world.


One student sent me this tape, which was taken at a bit of a distance. Around the 40 mark, O’Donnell agrees with my take on the Citizens United case. I am told that Coulter then also agreed with my take, though it comes in part 5 of the tape (which my student could not locate).

This has opened up a whole new horizon for me. In light of my success in uniting Coulter and O’Donnell, I have decided to first move on to the Middle East to open talks between Iran and Israel. Following resolving that dispute this week, I will tackle the more difficult and potentially explosive Martha Stewart/Rachel Ray divide.

  1. If I ever found myself agreeing with anything mAnn Coulter said I would immediately change my opinion – it MUST be wrong. If further study somehow showed the blind squirrel affect (she accidentally found an acorn) it could be classified as a miracle.

  4. Professor, when you finish bringing peace to the Middle East your talents might be productively applied to negotiating a re-unification of The President and his base. Just sayn’.

  5. Tony C. and Gene, I would like to throw another factor into your discussion, the national party organization. Maddow spent the first 12-13 minutes detailing how the state Republican party in several states have been fixing the race for Romney. I and a couple of others here have said the game is fixed for Romney previously. It’s obvious.

    As long as the national organization is in control of the convention it won’t matter how much money Newt or Rick or their sugar-daddies spend, they won’t be the nominee. As broken as the national party is it is still going to pick the nominee, ruthlessly if necessarily, if they find the field of potential nominees a threat to their ‘brand.’

    Once the nominee is picked the big money enabled by CU will play a part, and in state races that money can pay a really big part but I don’t think that in the run-up to a Presidential election it’s going to force the RNC/national power-players to pick a candidate they do not want. Or more to the point, is unacceptable to them. They haven’t spent 30 years reaching this point (even if it has semi bitten them in the butt) to field a Rick Santorum for president.

  6. Tony C., would one rather have the cake in the linked photo or an anemic albeit traditional white cake? I had a chocolate cake w/chocolate icing/flowers, because THE BRIDE GETS WHAT SHE WANTS, as Blouise counsels. (Yes, brides eat Bobcats for breakfast, not ‘the Bobcats’, real Bobcats.) I had a tasty cake, a mini-dress to get married in, and bar-b-q. It wasn’t a big reception but it was outdoors and fun. The bride and groom should have fun, it is after all a party. 🙂

  7. I don;t know HenMan a title like that certainly belies any attempt at scholarly.
    I know if she is writing that book it is really a lovesong in disguise. ((*_*))
    AY projecting her hate onto ‘liberals” or hiding her true feelings, either way someone as hateful as she portrays herself to be has something evil lurking in her closet.

  8. Carol Levy-

    I understand that the book Ann Coulter is currently writing is tentatively titled “I Hate Friggin’ Libtards- The Stinkin’ S.O.B.s That Ruined Everything”. It will be a scholarly analysis of the history of Liberalism in America.

  9. HenMan,

    Brides are the most dangerous of all creatures on the face of this earth. I like Tony C. I want him to live. He must find out what the Bride wants and immediately side with her.

    Even the bobcats cower in the face of an angry Bride.

  10. Carol,

    I hear that what bothers others abut someone else resides in the one doing the objecting…..

    Some may call it projecting…

  11. Blouise-

    Your wise counsel once again trumps my snark. I still prefer carrot cake- I have had some wedding cake that I suspect sat in the bakery window for several days before it was delivered to the reception.

  12. Seriously, though- In Econ 101, I was taught that a corporation was an artificial entity created basically to shield the officers of a company from lawsuits or prosecution for their own personal wrongdoing in running their company. The idea that a corporation is an actual person with Constitutional rights is ludicrous to me, and the fact that an earlier Supreme Court set that as a precedent doesn’t make it any less ridiculous. It just indicates to me that the earlier Supreme Court was also in the pocket of the corporations.

  13. Tony C.,

    “Is carrot cake appropriate for a wedding cake?”

    After having spent umpteen number of years dealing with umpteen number of Wedding participants I am going to give you a piece of advise that will literally save your sanity, if not your actual life.

    Whatever the bride wants is the only thing that is appropriate.

  15. Tony C.-

    The important point to be made here is simply this. Carrot cake is perfectly acceptable as a wedding cake. However, I would forego the use of the orange and green frosting “carrot” on top- it’s a little tacky. I would instead go with the traditional tacky plastic bride and groom.

    Dredd,

    Isn’t Ann a liberal…..
    ============================
    Here are the titles of some of her books: “Godless: The Church of Liberalism“, “How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter“, “Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism“, “Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right“, and “If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans“, to name a few.

    Wouldn;t it be great if this was just a reaction formation and she just can;t stand the fact that she is actually a liberal? ((*_*))

  17. This post brings me to raise the subject of the morality, amorality, immorality of corporations. IBM was on topic here on the blog for their role in killiing millions in the Holocaust. They skated for years and no one knew until a book came out in2009. That book was written by a guy last name Black and the book has been ignored and blacklisted by the media. There are a few people left on eartth bearing tatoos on their arm with ID numbers put there by the Nazis to keep track of them in work camps and death camps. IBM was there to keep track of them with data cards–punch cards. The gist of the article on IBM the other day on this blog was that corporations owe no duties of moral thought to their actions. Our Supreme Court says in Citizens United that a corporation is some person that can give unlimited money to elect our fearless leaders. Seems to me then that they have to be accountable for war crimes. I sold my stock in IBM this week when I learned about their role in the Holocaust. I wonder if Ann Coulter bought my shares when she learned of their behavior in the Holocaust. When I saw her photo I thought of mouthpieces for Hitler at the Nuremberg rallies prior to the war.

    Some of these topics do touch upon each other.
