I can only assume the not smoking thing is going well?????;-)

I wouldn't say "well", but I'm gonna get there!

Re: Ann Coulter STFU!

Well, if you are willing to accept Bill Maher as a Demo pundit, the reaction to his recent lament that Dick Cheney didn't get killed in Afghanistan (to loud applause from the losers in the audience) has been tepid at best. And that is fine with me, his show has low ratings and nobody cares too much what he has to say. I think the left could best deal with Coulter by simply ignoring her.

i didn't see that, so i really can't comment, i don't watch maher except when surfing through. so, is the tepid reaction(from the Republicans?) due to his low ratings? or something else?

i definitely ignore coulter as best i can(she's a couple of cards short of a deck, imo) but, every now and then she pulls a doozie and it's hard not to watch the trainwreck. with all the attention of the media focusing on Isaiah(sp) Thomas, p hilton, mel gibson, and the like tossing out hurtful labels, it appeared that she did ths exactly for the reaction she could garner, fueling her visibility.

RO, sharpton and jessie really don't make a blip on my radar anymore, it's just the same rhetoric over and over. the (supposed) message has become sooo diluted, as not to carry weight.

Maher likes to yank chains. But AFAIK he really does not represent anyone but himself.
The difference between Maher and Coulter is that she is, IMHO,a mouthpiece for the neocons. She continues to be asked to speak at these events, and she continues to provide lots of colorful, comical chatter for their amusement.
Last year it was raghead.
If the Republicans are indeed so appalled at the things she says and writes, they should say so loud and clear, and they should *isolate* her from their cause.

Maher is so awful and funny. I like to tune in for a good laugh. I find some of his humor rather insightful as well. I also enjoy his "new rules".

true enough Cil - he represents himself.

Is Maher the same guy that has George Carlin on. I use to think George was funny until he became so political. He now seems like a miserable human being! It is hard to watch unless you like getting depressed....

He's always been very cynical, but perhaps in recent years he's lost his mojo.
He really changed after his wife died ('97, liver cancer). Plus I think he has been really frustrated with the apathy and inertia during the current political administration; it's not like it's the 70's anymore.
That bitterness may have shriveled up his funnybone. I'll always love his fart routine though. ;-)
