    This should be decided by a cat-fight. Coulter would decapitate Dana in the time it takes Glenn Beck to shed a single tear.

    As for Ms. Perino, her comment is taken somewhat out of context. "There were no terrorist attacks on our country during President Bush's term."***

    ***= Unless you count September 11, 2001, which we in the Republican party no longer acknowledge as a date on the calendar. In fact, when we in the Republican party need emergency help via telephone, we don't even use the numbers 9-1-1.

    We have the hired help dial it up.

    This is tough, on one hand, Perino outrageously ignores the largest terror attack on U.S. soild in American history, thereby dishonoring all the dead from that day, plus the thousands who have died since in the name of that day, just to score imaginary points for her culpable boss. Then again, she's gotten a huge assist from the media --all of the media -- who have never treated 9/11 as the scandalous lapse in American security that it was, the blame for which rest squarely at the feet of her bosses.

    On the other hand, Coulter's comment would just be par of the course on any given Tuesday in that gal's life if she hadn't fallen back on the, "of course, I wouldn't have made my racially charged comment were I an actual racist" defense, which is the surest sign I know of that the person in question is, actually, a big fat racist.

    By the way, it's Ann Coulter, 48.

    I just noticed something: Ann Coulter is NOT wearing a black cocktail dress. Is something wrong? Is she okay? What happened?

    I'd say what Dana Perino said is pretty effing awful, but I doubt she said it thinking "9/11 didn't happen on Bush's watch." I'm pretty sure she knows it did. Forgetting is just sloppy, but Ann Coulter is just blatantly racist and awful and should have her human card revoked.

    I've heard wingnuts (many of whom I will be seeing in the next 24 hours; hi Mom & Dad!) say many a time about how Bush "kept us safe" for 8 years or some similar platitude. No Bushy, you didn't.

    @mimigoliath: I don't know. Considering that Perino was the spokesperson for the administration who arguably made Sept. 11th their single, sole talking point for virtually every policy decision of almost seven years, that's pretty unforgivably stupid. Like, single-celled organism stupid.

    @Atilla the Bun: I've seen Maxine Waters speak in person. Hate to break it to you, but she doesn't have two brain cells to click together. Perino was quite stupid in this video (assuming it wasn't edited in some way that deleted some context).

    So both white and black women can be stupid. Guess it really isn't racist but sexism.

    @momof3wildkids: I don't care if Waters has the I.Q. of a soap dish, that doesn't mean she got where she is because of affirmative action, e.g., her race. It is Coulter's knee-jerk assumption about that issue that makes her statement outrageous.

    And frankly, I think Coulter would be offended if people DIDN'T find her statement outrageous. She could have easily just said that she found Water dumb; she brought the racial angle in for the controversy it would cause. Now I just got off of work and have to deal with wingnuts all day tomorrow, so where is the damn booze....

    @Atilla the Bun: Getting where she is because of her race isn't the same as as affirmative action. She was duly elected by her constituents.

    But yea, Coulter added the whole piece about affirmative action so we'd be talking about her now. Doesn't make Waters any less of a tool though.

    @mimigoliath: The black cocktail dress may have finally disintegrated in the wash. On the same note, Dana Perino seems to be less cute and perky than her days in the WH Press Office. I guess the worry of having a Kenyan muslin in the Oval Office is wearing on her.

    I remember when Dana Perino was a guest on the Daily Show and it was so painful to watch her. She had to be one of the worst guest in the history of the Daily Show. Her appearances on Fox News aren't any better. Why do they keep letting her on air? Is it because she is a pretty blond lady?

    @anchower: I still cringe with disgust when I think of that interview. It sure explains why so many bubble-headed beauty queens are fronting the right side of the political spectrum.

    In his interview with Lou Dobbs, Jon Stewart managed to say to his face that he finds his beliefs "wrong and abhorrent", yet he couldn't once ask Dana Perino a substantive question, let alone any question without giggling or fluttering his eyelashes?

    In reply to The 99th Percentile Bowl: 2009's Harvard-Yale Game, A Compiled Air-to-Ground Report
    Here's the dirty little secret: there's nothing particularly glamorous about being an Ivy League grad. (I didn't go to Harvard or Yale, but have 2 Ivy degrees, with lots of relatives/friends/co-workers who are Ivy grads.) If you look at us (not just me, but my cohort, in our 40s), you'd probably call us successful.

    But we're not Kennedys or Bushes. We tend to make decent money, but we're still dealing with mortgages, trying to avoid getting fat, filling out paperwork all day, figuring out who's going to drive the kids to soccer practice, wondering if we're going to end up divorced, trying to keep our values and our sanity intact.

    I want to my alma mater's game Saturday. Game sucked, but beautiful weather, and a nice way to spend some time with my kids. It's nice to reminisce; I had a good college experience.

    But Sunday when I did the grocery shopping, no one at the store cared where I went to college. Today I'm back at work, which is alternately boring and interesting, just like always. It's not any different from my friends and neighbors who went to State U, Adequate Catholic University with Famous Athletic Program, or Liberal Arts College You've Never Heard Of.

    This isn't meant to be a whine; I recognize that I've got a pretty good life, particularly on the monetary side. But if going to an Ivy League school was as wonderful as Kamer makes it seem, why are so many of us wasting time commenting on Gawker?

    Smithhimself was at The Game on the Yale side. A cheerful day with the usual drinking that continued at the Elizabethan Club. Compared to watching Nebraska or Florida play football, the Ivy League is really... well, it's high school level sports activity. But the sky was blue, my shirt was blue and, yes, a good time was had by all.

    I would say that one aspect of the contest is not false. I truly do believe that Harvard is a vile institution.
