S.E. Cupp Wants To Be The New Ann Coulter

I had never heard of S.E. Cupp before stumbling upon this David Letterman/Barack Obama takedown clip from Sean Hannity's abortion of a show. Now, having seen Ms. Cupp in action, I wish I could erase all knowledge of her from my mind. No, Ms. Cupp has not yet dyed her hair blonde or taken to flashing her tranny legs, but make no mistake...she dreams of being Ann Coulter. And if she continues making outrageous allegations in a smarmy, vaguely Valley Girlish voice while flipping her hair around like a bad Cher impersonator, she will succeed.

13 Suitcases?

The Washington Post says Sarah Palin bought 13 suitcases to carry all the clothes she purchased using Republican party money and the credit cards of McCain staffers. 13 suitcases. And silk boxers for Todd. But it's all just bitter McCain aides getting revenge on Palin by making up lies about her. Right? Well, the Republican donors whose money went for Palin's shopping spree aren't amused anyway, and have reportedly sent a lawyer to Alaska to get her to give the shit back. The bitch is basically a criminal. And there are still some people dumb enough to stick up for her, like Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin. What a farce. McCain would strangle her if only his arms...oh, forget it.

But Can She Spell Potato?

I didn't watch much of Sarah Palin's Republican Convention speech from last night. I don't need to sit there at home and listen to a bunch of right-wing malarkey spewing from a vapid airhead. I can get the same crap listening to Sean Hannity or walking into any local tavern and sitting down with the first group of guys in camouflage vests. The only thing Sarah Palin has going for her is her hair-stylist. The Fox News/Bill Kristol/Ann Coulter crowd is of course gushing about this woman anyway - they think they've found their young, dynamic, inspiring answer to Barack Obama. I'm no Obama Kool Aid drinker but comparing this empty hair-do to him is an insult. As far as I'm concerned, Sarah Palin is George W. Bush with tits. A vaguely charming person with nothing in her brain, who's ripe to be molded and shaped by whatever wing of the Republican party holds power. The game plan is obvious: Get McCain and her into office, let McCain have his four years so he can shuffle off to the nursing home, then find some grizzled old Dick Cheney-type to latch onto Sarah and let him coattail her into a VP spot from which he can pull the world's strings. Hell, Cheney himself isn't even 70 yet - let him take four years off to recharge his batteries then give him another eight. Meanwhile, Sarah can distract everyone with her adorable tales of family life at the White House. It'll be so great - unless you're an Iranian.
