Do you remember who said that?
I don't agree. She is nuts and I thinks she hates herself and humanity.
I hope she finds empathy and happiness, I really do.

No, I really don't. But what I'm saying is that she pobably believes the saying. And up to a point, the saying is valid. It's hard to know where that point is for some people. I think she has crossed it here, but who's to say the Freepers agree with me? They are her audience.

Pretty sure it was James Brown about the time he was in some trouble... in context it was him making the best of the situation.
I don't agree, coming from someone who used to be in that business... you have to decide at some point to be an artist or celebrity. I guess if you only wish to be the latter it may hold some truth.
In her case, do you want to be a pundit/talking head or celebrity?
What little credibility she once had is on fire.

Actually, what I would like to do is this.

Invite Ann Coulter and Fred Phelps to do an interview.
Wait until both of them are in the Green Room.
Lock the door and walk away.

In a news article this morning, Hillary Clinton called Coulter's remarks concerning these women "vicious". I have to agree - which, as far as I know, is a first.

It bothers me that anyone could make the kind of vicious and mean-spirited attacks that Coulter has made. But even more, I fear that there are many folks out there nodding their heads in agreement.

Didn't you hear? If you're not with them, you're against them.

Coulter is a cunt, no ifs ands or buts.

The people nodding in agreement might have a reason.

9-11, Mr A and Mr B head out to work in NYC.

Mr A gets to the WTC but doesn't make it home.
Mr B doesn't make it home either because he was run over by a bus.

Mrs A gets a million or two bucks and the sympathy of the world.
Mrs B get an insurance settlement that will pay off the car but not the mortgage, credit cards, orthodontist or kids tuition.

Mrs A keeps appearing on TV.
Mrs B & kids have now moved in with family and working at the Quicky Mart on the overnight shift.

Maybe Mrs B is nodding. Ya think?

And Ann, knowing which way the wind blows, has been reminding everyone of her Christian values.

I think the woman should join the Westboro Baptist Church. She seems to have the kind of Christian values that Rev. Phelps is looking for.

There are a lot of people who have taken control of their lives after misfortune and spoken up about issues. Christopher Reeve, Dana Reeve, Alexandra Scott. Maybe Miss Coulter just thinks that they're 'whiney'.

Normally, I don't wish misfortune on anyone. However, it would be interesting to see how Miss Coulter would handle the situation that the 9/11 widows or any of these three people went through.

God, however, has his own plan and I somehow have the impression that Miss Coulter will become a dried up old conservative in a wool suit smelling like lavender and running something like the Eagle Forum or the Family Research Council.

I see the irony, Bruce. But I don't blame Mrs. A for it. Blame our sick society that makes a carnival out of other people's trauma.

You really think that she would not find another way to get attention?

Yes but by doing something more socially positive than what she is doing now, for example doing a donkey show on the Capitol steps.
