Put down your coffee mugs before you continue, sports fans, for conservative columnist Ann Coulter wrote a review of Monday's Democrat presidential debate, and your computer is in grave jeopardy if fluids are nearby.
In a column entitled "Obama Hails a Unicorn," Coulter first skewered the junior senator from Illinois' claim that "he couldn't get a cab in New York because he's black" (emphasis added throughout):
Last year, a black writer in the [New York Times] pointed out how things had changed in New York in the 10 years since he had been out of the country. Not only did he have no trouble getting a cab, but he cited statistics from taxi sting operations that showed a 96 percent compliance rate among cabbies in picking up blacks.
However, her best shot was taken at the junior senator from New York:
Hillary raised the Bush-stole-the-2000-election fairy tale, saying: "I think it is a problem that Bush was elected in 2000. I actually thought somebody else was elected in that election, but ..." (Applause.)
Coulter then referenced three separate New York Times articles by three different authors stating that "‘George W. Bush would have won even if the United States Supreme Court had allowed the statewide manual recount of the votes that the Florida Supreme Court had ordered to go forward.'"
Her conclusion:
If three prominent articles in the Treason Times isn't enough to convince Hillary that Bush won the 2000 election, forget the White House: ABC ought to hire her to replace Rosie O'Donnell on "The View." I know that's a big seat to fill, but maybe she can finally convince Elizabeth Hasselbeck that 9/11 was an inside job.
Actually, I think even Hillary couldn't convince Elisabeth of that.

Great analysis from Coulter
July 26, 2007 - 13:47 ET by Gary HallJust another sad day for the MSM. Columnists, etc., are required to do the job of journalists.
Anderson Cooper should have set the record straight for Obama, on the spot, and posed the question: "Rudy's achievements on crime in NY are almost legendary (see, just treat him like Bill Clinton). What is it that the Democrats will have to come to grips with, in order to be as effective in fighting crime, and in assuring that black people will be picked up by cab drivers?" Solid analysis from Coulter - thanks NS. gh

July 26, 2007 - 13:55 ET by Gothampc"Anderson Cooper should have set the record straight for Obama, on the spot"
The correct followup Cooper should have asked was "If you can't get a cab in NYC, why don't you have one of your taxpayer funded bodyguards to get you one?" Or are they all black too?
OR
"If you can't get a cab in NYC, how do you expect to get Osama bin Laden?"
I'd like to add .

July 26, 2007 - 14:17 ET by MightyMouthDamn right! Dubya would stand in front of the speeding cab and make him stop! We don't need a milktoast politician who can't even get a frigin' cab. Think about it folks!

It's just that Obama's comment is such a sissy comment. If John Edwards had said it, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. When did these men stop acting like men and start acting like sissies?
My father (who is white) used to go to NYC on business trips in the 1960s. He said it was difficult to get a cab, but he would use his ingenuity and go to a hotel entrance where there were a line of cabs waiting to pick people up.
Your father was no sport
July 26, 2007 - 16:47 ET by SanityClauseCome on now--You mean your father knew from past experience that taxis line up at hotels and WALKED over there to get one?
Aren't you supposed to stand in a doorway, put your hand up like you are holding an imaginary umbrella, and expect a cab driver to see you?
Getting a cab?

Ignorance is bliss. It's easier to repeat a mindless slogan than to do some actual research.

Disputing the election
July 26, 2007 - 14:00 ET by kbworkmanIt's funny that when the dems are complaining about Bush beating Gore, they always forget Kennedy beating Nixon. I can still remember my dad complaining about that one. Nixon won more states, but Kennedy was Pres.
We didn't see Nixon run crying to the supreme court.
Nixon and losing the election
July 26, 2007 - 14:09 ET by dagdaThe story is that Nixon knew of the voter fraud in Chicago and Texas, but decided against contesting the election because he felt it would be detrimental to the United States. Clear signs of an honorable man.
Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow. Dwight Eisenhower

July 26, 2007 - 14:14 ET by sarcasmoOr maybe just a smart man, who suspected the Democrats had some equally-dirty (looking in the direction of the late Howard Hughes, who'd generally buy both candidates when he could, in that era) laundry of his own...

Kennedy
July 27, 2007 - 08:51 ET by EmmyjuneDidn't Joe Kennedy rig that election with the mob? And then the mob got miffed because of Bobby's war on organized crime when John appointed him AG? ; )
Oh, Annie! You cad, you!

July 26, 2007 - 14:11 ET by FastEdBetter watch that "Hate Speech" - using facts is a no-no.

July 26, 2007 - 14:30 ET by charlietexasI dont agree with the a "big seat to fill", they both have BACK, if
you know what I mean! and I know you do. Not only is Hillary
muti-lingual but shes got that big onion butt. She can take Rosies seat
and Star Jacksons seat with both cheeks.
sorry. charlies wife...xoxoxoxo
Good for you, Ann!!!
July 26, 2007 - 14:45 ET by Cape ConservativeOnce again, an accurate report on the so-called debate of Democrats.
It was all "touchy-feely" and NO substance WHATSOEVER! FACTS???? RELATIVITY???? who needs those?????
And this woman wants the population to believe she would make a good president! WHOA! She can't remember anything (i.e. her testimony regarding Watergate/Travelgate/location of files etc) and then she has the brass to use this platform to continue the dead issue of the 2000 election. Why, she doesn't even believe the NYT!!!

How about Bill for The View
July 26, 2007 - 17:07 ET by Lame CherryFrankly, Ann should have suggested Bill for The View. Being a white liberal he was the first black president, so being a white liberal he could be the first woman on The View.
It would be his dream job for the following points:
A woman would rub make up all over his body 5 days a week and Hillary could not complain.
Being a woman Bill could install ABC gender showers and he could soap up with Elisabeth and all the current cute fill ins.
Bill could sit on the couch and keep his hands on women's thighs during interviews as it was being "Oprah personal"
Lastly in a fast blog, Bill could cover all kinds of subjects like.
1. Hugh Hefner comparing Viagra.
2. Hugh Hefner comparing Cialis.
3. Hugh Hefner comparing 3 women.
4. Hugh Hefner personal tours of the Playboy mansion.
5. Bill Clinton investigates Geraldo Rivera's sex life by personally touring all the Nevada brothels to see if Geraldo had ever slept there.
Bill could even have a couch to lay down and take naps with the staff.
Bill should do it. Liberal women would love him like Oprah...and liberal women would be molested by Bill.

Hey L.C.!
July 26, 2007 - 17:24 ET by Mica the MagnificentDon't forget the segment where Bill measures his d**k and wonders if the rest of the world's men are greater or lesser than his . . due to cultural differences, of course.
"I am innocent of that woman accusing me of exposing myself. As I said, your Honor, I thought my d**k died, and she freaked out during the 'viewing.' "- - - Would you be surprised if this was a Bill Clinton defense?
