Ärende: Coulter's credit
========================
>>> February 20, 2008 -- Ann Coulter suffered a serious embarrassment over the
>>> weekend when her credit card was declined in Palm Beach.

>>> According to our spy,

RS>>By any chance, did you notice precisely *WHERE* this story is from? The NY
RS>>Post.

 TR> Its from a dirty little `spy'......who follows lone women
 TR> around late at night hoping to catch them straightening
 TR> their slip, or flashing too much knee as they climb into or
 TR> out of their car.

 Coulter? Flashng too much knee? She doesn't flash it, she
 displays it. As Bill Maher used to describe it, her usual slut
 wear. That's how he described it to her. Never heard her
 complain.

RS>>Face it Tim, even the right-wingers can't stand Coulter anymore.


 TR> HOW TO KEEP REAGAN OUT OF OFFICE
 TR> February 20, 2008

 I wish they had told us that back in 1980.

 TR> Inasmuch as the current presidential election has come down
 TR> to a choice among hemlock, self-immolation or the
 TR> traditional gun in the mouth, now is the time for patriotic
 TR> Americans to review what went wrong and to start planning
 TR> for 2012.
 ...
 TR> It isn't the early primaries, it isn't that we allow
 TR> Democrats to vote in many of our primaries, and it isn't
 TR> that the voters are stupid. All of that was true or
 TR> partially true in 1980 -- and we still got Ronald Reagan.

 Yep...hemlock *AND* self-imolation *and* the traditional gun in
 the mouth.

 TR> We didn't get Ronald Reagan this year not just because
 TR> there's never going to be another Reagan. We will never

 The curse of the Coulte-geist.

 TR> again get another Reagan because Reagan wouldn't run for
 TR> office under the current campaign-finance regime.

 Thank God for campaign-finance reform.

 ...

 TR> Reagan, too, had a happy life and, having had no trouble

 Other than his miserable childhood.

 ...

 TR> After the astonishing response to Reagan's speech and
 TR> Tuttle's continued entreaties, Reagan finally relented and
 TR> ran for governor. In 1966, with the help, financial and

 And thus began the fall of America.

 TR> otherwise, of a handful of self-made conservative
 TR> businessmen, Reagan walloped incumbent Edmund G. (Pat)
 TR> Brown, winning 57 percent of the vote in a state with two
 TR> Democrats for every Republican.

 IOW, he bought the election.

 TR> The rest is history -- among the brightest spots in all of
 TR> world history.

 The brightness of the flames as America as we knew it was
 consumed by right wing greed and hate.

 TR> None of that could happen today. (The following analysis

 Thank God.
 ...

 TR> Tuttle couldn't hold a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for Reagan
 TR> -- at least in today's dollars. That would be a
 TR> $6,496.94-a-plate dinner (using the consumer price index)
 TR> or a $19,883.51-a-plate dinner (using the relative share of
 TR> GDP).

 They made it harder to buy the election... how sad.

 ...

 TR> A handful of conservative businessmen would not be allowed
 TR> to make large contributions to Reagan's campaign -- they
 TR> would be restricted to donating only $2,300 per person.

 IOW, it's that much harder for the rich to buy the president.
 That's good.

 ...

 TR> Also, Tuttle would have to tell Reagan: "We are not allowed
 TR> to coordinate with you, so you're on your own. But wait --

 IOW, they would not be allowed to cover up just how inept Reagan
 was.

 ...

 TR> This is why you will cast your eyes about the nation in
 TR> vain for another Reagan sitting in any governor's mansion
 TR> or U.S. Senate seat. Pro-lifers like to ask,

 Thank God.

 TR> "How many Einsteins have we lost to abortion?" I ask: How
 TR> many Reagans have we lost to campaign-finance reform?

 One too few.

 ...

 TR> What a bizarre coincidence that a few years after the most
 TR> draconian campaign-finance laws were imposed via
 TR> McCain-Feingold, our two front-runners happen to be the
 TR> media's picks! It's uncanny -- almost as if by design! (Can
 TR> I stop now, or do you people get sarcasm?)

 I don't see any sarcasm there... do you?

 ...

 TR> You want Reagan back?

 No... never! He was enough of a zombie the first time around.
