Dana Perino Mulls Over Ann Coulter

I would buy several copies of a Dana Perino book, and might even read one of them, if that could contribute to removing Anne Coulter from the national stage. Her presence in cultural life is a sufficient reason to avoid all television viewing.

OMG, you are crushing on Dana Perino. ADMIT TO ME RIGHT NOW THAT YOU LOVE DANA PERINO AND WANT TO KISS AND MARRY HER or I will stuff you in your locker!

Perino needs to tell mainstream conservatives her thoughts on Coulter. Odds are that they don’t share the same opinion…

I’m suddenly reminded of much of what goes on on these threads here. There are plenty of decent and well meaning people who are nevertheless self-identified Conservatives. Unfortunately none of them seem to be inclined to show up at forums such as this one so instead we get a feast of moronic invective and poorly-veiled racism.

It would seem that a similar force is at work in the larger world.

But she doesn’t represent Republican women. Correction, she doesn’t necessarily represent sane Republican women. What is unclear is what percentage of Republican women are sane, and what percentage are insane. I mean, Minnesota just re-elected bat-$hit insane Michelle Bachman.

I care so little.

hey, I like Dana Perino. She took on a completely thankless task and did it with grace and dignity. (somebody had to do the job…)

Of course, she’s still in “flack” mode (holding up Laura Bush as some sort of idealized Republican woman is difficult to take), but that’s her job.

I’ll give you that she is attractive, and that she is able to lie calmly with a cute little smile. But anyone who took on that job either did it knowing that they would be lying almost constantly in a way that harmed the American public, or did it unknowingly because they were a total delusional ideologue.

Palin, Bachman and Coulter appeal to the GOP base. Laura would likely be left in the GOP political dustbin if she ran in Texas.

As for attractive women who don’t lie and aren’t delusional, anyone notice that they gave Rachel less of a blow dried look last night. She looked like herself, finally.

So called Republican women, such as Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter seem to play better with Reublican men, as opposed to women. I’m from a conservative state, but only hear from men who are fans of these two. Never another woman. And then men only seem to like Palin and Coulter because they are “hot”. Which hardly indicates that they take these women seriously as people. So my question is what does that say about how Republican men view women?

For those who were discussing the NY Senate vacancy created by Clinton, digby has done an interview with Carolyn Maloney, who I think would be a great choice.

Reaction to the USAirways airplane crash, apparently caused by a mid-air collision with geese:
.
Liberals: I blame USAirways for provoking the confrontation and believe they must change their policies.
.
Conservatives: We must retaliate. These geese only understand violence and power. I say we carpet-bomb Canada, turn it into a parking lot and take their oil.
.
Media: We conducted an on-line poll and asked: Do you find PE Obama slightly to blame; Moderately to blame; or Totally to blame for the crash- and found that most Americans polled agree that Obama bares some responsibility for this tragedy.
.
Bush: USAirways faces the Epic Existential Threat of this Century. But we are a brave and resilient commuterate. I have decidered- and you may disagree with the dicideration, but you cannot say I haven’t been deciderive- to commit our brave soldiers to confront this threat. My administration is prepared to invade and liberate Mexico- in fact the plan is already written. God bless you and God bless the USAirways.

Dana’s right about Coulter. We all know Gayle Quinnell represents republican women.

Seriously, why do I care about this? Not having to listen to Perino’s chirpy faux-clueless lies again is just one of the side benfits of the new administration.
-
At least Scott McClelan got all sweaty when he told bald-faced lies.

McClellan of course…

Well, Michael, if things fall through at Time, there’s always People or Us.

Perino happens to be right about Coulter, who is clearly not representative of most Republican women. But I still can’t take Perino seriously after the Cuban Missile Crisis thing.

MS — I was never able to take Dana Perino seriously, evah! So frankly I don’t give a damn what happens to her.

In short, U.S. taxpayers are paying for U.S. energy companies to buy Arab crude, ship it across the Atlantic to refineries in the U.S., refine it, and then ship it back across the Atlantic so that the Israel Defense Force can use it in its wars.

Happy reading. Good thing I started early this weekend (as evidenced by my ridiculous comment above…)

oops, linked to page two…

Everyone fails to mention the little note on the back cover of Coulter books (Pages within are printed on top-quality quilted toilet paper). I think that’s the real reason she sells so many books.

Perino has experience standing before the American people, keeping a straight face, while lying through her teeth. Obviously she has a bright future as a television pundit.

I’ve seen reports asserting annual porn industry revenue to exceed that of ABC, NBC and CBS combined. I don’t know whether that’s true, but its plausibility goes a long way to explain the phenomenon of Ann Coulter as a “bestselling author.” Politically she’s the equivalent of a serial killer, and we know the extent of MSM coverage they get.
.
Better news judgment, please.

“Ann Coulter is very popular. She has got a niche,”
.
So did Jim Jones and Warren Jeffs…

I was trying to think of a way of describing Ann Coulter that wouldn’t have me placed in “moderation.” The best way I think of her is uncivilized but it’s not enough of a pejorative, but there is this Russian word nekulturny which means “uncultured” and is the worst thing you can call a Russian, I am told.
.
Uncivilized and uncultured best describe Ms. Coulter. Hag is also a good term but that demeans other hags and women in general. Coulter is a being all its own that lacks a gender.

Ann Coulter is like David Blaine: a magician whose magic consists of openly fooling you.

I guess Ann Coulter’s attractive, if you enjoy Adam’s Apples and large, strong, shovel-like hands.
.
Which a surprising amount of Republicans do, as we’ve found out.

Cliff she’s the Fatal Attraction character Glenn Close portrayed without the attraction.

Perino may have a future as a perky but largely affectless voice artist — see/hear, for example, the voice of the computer gone awry in Eagle Eye.

Thanks for linking to that post regarding the superbly qualified Carolyn Maloney.

Congratulations to Time magazine and its “reporter” M.J. Stephey! You are the first fools/lunatics to blame the aircraft landing in the Hudson on the “global warming” hoax. “Be afraid. Be very afraid,” indeed ….

FYI, here’s Greenwald: This week, Jay Rosen — the NYU Journalism Professor and author of the PressThink blog — wrote one of the best and most insightful pieces yet on how the American media artificially limits the range of political debate. . . .
.
According to Rosen, the diagram depicting these three spheres is “easily the most useful diagram [] found for understanding the practice of journalism in the United States, and the hidden politics of that practice.” Rosen argues — quite persuasively — that American journalists, usually unthinkingly (i.e., without even realizing that they do it), control and restrict political discussions by using these categories for virtually every political issue of any significance. No theory regarding how the media controls political debate is complete without reference to Manufacturing Consent, but Rosen’s explanation is quite compatible with it and, standing alone, has great value.

He’s my guest on Salon Radio today to discuss his critique a

Perino was by far the most competent and gracious of Bush’s 3 press secretaries – which, I will grant, is not saying much. Yes I know she knows squat about the cuban missile crisis, but she presented the best face of the administration. She was straightforward and didn’t either perform McClellan’s absurd accusative dance with the press, or Fleisher’s condescending disdain.

I have three words:
.
See Oh Too.
.
Shhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone, but it’s a greenhouse gas.
.
Dumber than a warm rock on a windowsill…

In my opinion Tony Snow was the most competent of the lot. Did anybody ever believe anything that Perino ever said? For that matter, did anybody ever believe that Dana Perino believed anything she ever said?
-
And she had her own brand of condescending disdain.

OMG we have preview!

@Andy#26: And to think that I drove the streets of Ann Arbor while she was busy getting her masters’ degree in our fair city. Oh, the opportunities missed…
.
@Andy#29: “Fatal…” Yes, that is truly a risk while reading her “books”.
.
@p_luk#7: Still puzzling about that comment. I can understand if you’re hetero feeling ambivalent about Perino, Coulter, and Palin.
But, seriously, do you feel the same sturm and drang about Gonzales, Powell, McClellan, et al? “flaks” as you said. Unsexy.

If Miss Perino and Miss Coulter are willing to settle their differences with some dignified mud wrestling, I am willing to bet on the blonde one.

If Ann Coulter has a niche, it was put there by a surgeon.

I’ve had dreams about Ann Coulter. Nazi uniforms terrify me.

whatever happened to Ann Coulter? she seems to make a fewer public appearances nowadays
