In A Nutshell
"Nut" being the operative word. From Ann Coulter:
"I can remember vividly my dad after church once Sunday, when I was about 10 years old, taking us — it's our whole family — into a restaurant. I was dressed up. I was very proud to be there, and we sat, got our menus, looked at the menus, and the waitress came over and my father said, 'I'm sorry. We have to leave.' I didn't understand. 'Why? Why do we have to leave?' And I was embarrassed. I found out when we got outside the reason we had to leave is he couldn't pay the prices that were on the menu."
This was from Opie Edwards during the Democrats' press conference masquerading as a debate a few nights ago. Admit it, you want to barf when you hear this multi-gazillionaire reminisce about how tough he had it as a kid. Give me a break. His phony play to make himself seem "just like everyone else" is almost as transparent and pathetic as this:
Of course, it took Obama less time to remember an American ally than it took John Edwards to remember Jesus. Edwards was asked who his "moral leader" was — and he was stuck for an answer.
I had time to shout "Jesus" at the TV 20 times, exhaust myself, and have a sandwich before Edwards finally coughed up "mah lowrd." Even then it appeared that Edwards was not actually naming the Savior but exclaiming, "Mah lowrd, that's a tough question!"
What a real, genuine person, huh?
The BEST part of the whole column, though, is this:
Edwards then put "mah lowrd" (assuming that was his answer) on a par with other moral leaders such as his father — who had embarrassed him so as a child — and his wife. (When he mentioned his spouse as a "moral leader," Hillary visibly tensed for fear that she might be asked the same question.)
In fairness to Edwards, asking a trial lawyer to name his favorite moral leader is like asking the president of Iran to name his favorite Jew. (Answer: George Soros.)
Yup.
JASmius adds: Remember when George W. Bush was asked this question eight or so years ago? And when he said without the slightest hesitation, "Jesus Christ," he was ridiculed mercilessly by lefties in and out of the media. I guess if he'd perfunctorily flipped through a mental religious rolodex ("Buddha? No....Gaia? Nope....Allah? {snicker} That's a good one {snort}....Hillary? Well, that's what Dad's always trying to tell me, but I can't picture a goddess with upside-down legs...."), he might have gotten the benefit of the doubt.
Nahhh. But Bush became president, and Opie never will, which is a blessing for the former, all of us, and the latter, since he'll never have to take so steep a pay cut.
