Liberal Forms of Torture

Wouldn’t it be funny, not to mention appropriate, if old Teddy Kennedy bent Ann Coulter over a chair and fucked her from behind? Would Coulter consider being fucked from behind by an old Liberal a form of torture?

Interesting to contemplate, though I don’t give people of Ann Coulter’s ilk much thought, except to wonder why anyone with a moderate IQ gives what she says or writes any credence. Do they give her the benefit of the doubt because she’s thin and blonde? How do they know she doesn’t spend her evenings sucking on a crack pipe?

Coulter is the poster-girl for this dumbed-down, sound-bite age. If you read newspapers or listen to radio broadcasts from other countries, the world looks completely different than it does from the commercial perspective of the American corporate media. The American media treats citizens (consumers) like morons, too stupid to consider the many sides of an issue.

Instead of background and context, we get the carnival life & times of Anna Nicole Smith. While the world around us burns, we get American Idol. While George W. Bush and his criminal posse rape the middle class and invade other nations, we get frantic over Dancing with the Stars – all of whom happen to be has-beens. We get Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts fawning over one another breathlessly, like a couple of teenagers who recently discovered that they are attracted to members of their own sex.

Now, suppose Dick Cheney got to feeling frisky and decided to bend Ann Coulter over a chair and fuck her up the ass. Would that be OK with Ann, even considered an honor? I don’t know and don’t particularly care. As Bob Dylan so aptly put it, “People are crazy and times are strange.”

Amen, brother.
