republican debate fun: "it'd...it would be ok."

yeah, ten rich white men all trying to be ronald reagan. there's some damn sad tv. however, there was one interesting exchange on, of course, abortion. see if you can find the two formerly pro-choicers:

Moderator: Starting with you, Governor, would the day that Roe v. Wade is repealed be a good day for America.
Gov. Mitt Romney: Absolutely.
Moderator: Senator?
Sen. Sam Brownback: It would be a glorious day of human liberty and freedom.
Moderator: Governor?
Gov. Gilmore: Yes, it was wrongly decided.
Moderator: Governor?
Gov. Huckabee: Most certainly.
Moderator: Congressman?
Rep. Hunter: Yes.
Moderator:Mayor?
Rudy Giuliani: It'd...It would be OK.
Moderator: Congressman?
Rep. Tom Tancredo: After 40 million dead because we have aborted them in this country, I would say that that would be the greatest day in this country's history when that, in fact, is overturned.

...and it's nice to see sen. brownback is brining iraq talking points to other issues as well.

zell miller has all the answers

zell miller, the former democratic senator from georgia and current foxpert (fox news 'expert'), whom you may remember for coming out agaist kerry in '04, challenging chris matthews to a duel, speaking for the president at the republican national convention, and foaming at the mouth over and over while slamming his own party, has once again come out with quite the interesting statement. no, he's not challenging anyone else to a duel or calling john kerry "more wobbly than any other national figure." instead, he claims to have discovered the reason why social security is in trouble, illegal immigration is up, and why the armed forces are in desperate need of additional members. i'll let zell explain his magical answer in his own words (Miller was speaking at a fund raiser for Save a Life Center of Macon, Georgia, an organization which tries to persuade women not to have abortions):

"How could this great land of plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed...[if these] children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security."

you know senator, there may be another reason no one dares to mention it: because it's stupid. stupid and misleading. but, what do i know? i mean, zell is certainly not wobbly like that filp-flopper kerry.

"Leave it to the woman, her God, and her doctor." - zell miller

what? zell used to be pro-choice? wow. and he compares an aborted fetus to dred scott? yeah, thanks for that really bad historical comparison, zell. a black person is like a fetus. sounds like the level of debate i'd expect from a foxpert.

coultergiest goes after doctors

yep, she's going even more off the never ending deep end that is her craziness...now she's repeated the edwards homophobic slur and gone after doctors who perform legal abortions, saying that these doctors are in need of an operation themselves, what she calls "a procedure with a rifle": (oh, that's hilarious)

"Speaking at the recent Reclaiming America for Christ conference, (televangelist D. James Kennedy's annual political rally), Ann Coulter not only repeated her now infamous anti-gay slur to the Christian group, but she declared that she can 'understand' the assassination of doctors who perform legal abortions."

...in some other news, some sensible conservatives (yes, they do exist...somewhere) have stared a petition to stop having coultergiest speak at CPAC. but what all of this really means, is that Law and Order can now do at least 2 more coultergiest-themed episodes this year. you know they can't pass up an opportunity to do a show where someone takes coultergiest's advocation of violence seriously and gets Jack McCoy all hot and bothered over it.
