"Coulter has a dick! I saw it! Yeah, yeah, when Coulter came on to me in the parking lot after the CPAC convention. Yeah, that's right. Rush has a harem of four-year old Dominican boys that he regularly replenishes because he eats them when they turn five." @nojo: Next, he’ll have to turn on his sponsors to get attention. “Coulter has a dick!

Certainly those in the business of serving dreck to idiots do. Joe does not have his own radio show, nor one on Fox. He does not seem to be a regular guest anywhere — we only hear about him when he turns up in the <i>oddest</i> places. He couldn't even get folks to buy his book when CPAC was in town. Instead, we hear about him being a "correspondent" for a wingnut website only other wingnuts know about, and see him as a hilariously inept pitchman for an online DTV conversion-box retailer. Point being: If Joe had any traction, we'd see him in more prominent places more frequently. But we don't, since was always a disposable prop, and even the propmasters have no further use for him. Joe the Plumber makes a lousy tool. @blogenfreude: I think a large part of the country just ignores him. Certainly those in the business of serving dreck to idiots do.

Any conversation this freak has with a female begins with the presentation of a contract. @Benedick: It’s alleged he marries occasionally to draw attention from the alleged fact that he flies to the Caribbean regularly to have sex with 4- and five-year old boys before killing and eating them.

We elect a black president, after a disastrous republican president, that alone is enough to make a large number of batshit racists and conservatives completely lose their marbles. On top of that, it happens during an economic crisis that has everyone on earth shaking in their boots. And a crisis which has swung the general tone of american popular opinion away from the republican view that government is evil and unfettered capitalism is great. The conservative movement and the republicans and the hate radio fringe, they are seriously out of their minds, panicked, casting about left and right for a message, a way to be relevant, and they can't come up with shit, they are flailing, and yup, they are so in disarray that fucking circus clowns like JTP actually get notice from them. I mean, come on, this is sad. I miss Bob Dole, he was at least halfway dignified. This is a flaming tailspin we are watching, we should not bemoan it as a sign of a degraded times, we should celebrate it as a sign of a degraded political party. @blogenfreude: These is interesting times, ain’t they?

Sure he gets served with papers a lot and doesn't show up for important shit, but I'm betting a pretty decent percentage of the country sees him as just a normal guy, trying to better himself. That's why it's crucial to catch him doing something so stupid that, if publicized, will render him mute. On the other hand, Vitter got caught, and it hasn't silenced him even a little. @Promnight: My point is that he gets away, in large part, with his act.

You know that one of his marriages was officiated by Clarence Thomas? Wonder how long that one lasted. Its the fucking stupid, I know, stupid has always been with us, but in our society now, I think we have reached a point unprecedented in Human History, in which stupid is revered and glorified, and intelligence is villified and hated. Its, well, fucking depressing. @Benedick: Yeah, its amazing what a couple of million will buy, I am sure that if any of them tried to tell all, he has their balls in a vice.

Limbaugh. Been married three times. But no tell-alls from ex wifeys. Wouldn't you think someone would have made a substantial offer for tell-all on Limbavian mating habits, etc? So what? Divorce settlements that guarantee silence? You realize that I have nothing on which to base this but conjecture but I refuse to let that stop me. It never stopped Rush. BTW. What the fuck kind of name is that? Is it short for Rushdooney or what? BTW. I was thinking today…. Limbaugh. Been married three times. But no tell-alls from ex wifeys.
