She has had a rough week I would say.  She imploded into mediocrity in the debate a few nights ago when she clearly would not take a consistent position on Illegal Immigrants and drivers licenses.  In the first video, presidential long shot John Edwards uses footage from the debate to show her inconsistency.

In the second, SNL, who will lampoon anyone, has a good time with her at a halloween party, with some good digs by special guest Obama.

Enjoy.

One of my all time favorite TV shows is the 80’s and 90’s sitcom Roseanne.

Roseanne when it came out could have been a portrait of my life.  At the time I was not well off financially, and was dealing with a lot of stress and unhappiness with laughter and sarcasm.

It was one of the first sitcoms to portray what life for most working class people was like:  A struggle with highs and lows. It also, as Roseanne Barr notes in her DVD commentary, clearly showcases the disconnect in class in America.

But.  One of the things I do struggle with is Roseanne herself, the actress, the comedienne and the activist.

I perused her blog and was shocked at how she can flip from crazy to wacky in no time at all.

Here are some examples from Roseanne World.   WARNING:  EXTREME LANGUAGE AHEAD

On Anne Coulter:

You read that right.  His mandatory health plan that will cover everyone also includes mandatory appointments, meaning if you are enrolled, and everyone has to, you MUST go to the doctor according to the plan.

The story comes from Ann Althouse, via Hot Air.

Edwards backs mandatory preventive care

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said on Sunday that his universal health care proposal would require that Americans go to the doctor for preventive care.  

“It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care,” he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. “If you are going to be in the system, you can’t choose not to go to  the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK.”

Repeat, with emphasis:

“It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care,” he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. “If you are going to be in the system, you can’t choose not to go to  the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK.”

I swear, just about every time this bozo opens his mouth something else elitist and ignorant pops put ans reinforces my belief that he really is that far out of touch with not just the average American, but with reality.

Edwards: Americans should sacrifice their SUVs

 Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.

The former North Carolina senator told a forum by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, yesterday he thinks Americans are willing to sacrifice.

Edwards says Americans should be asked to drive more fuel efficient vehicles. He says he would ask them to give up SUVs.

And I imagine he drove off in his Cadillac SUV, and flew away in his private jet for his next 400 dollar haircut before heading home to his 28000 sq ft house.

Putz.

I’m sick of this patronizing “do as I say not as I do” attitude, which is common in politics in general, but in the environmental matters in particular, seems to permeate the Democrats.

The idea here is that you do not buy any fruit that is imported because of the carbon footprint in transporting it.

No tangerines for you?

The politics of global warming got very concrete, and oddly difficult, In a meeting with local environmentalists in the coastal town of McClellanville today, where Elizabeth Edwards raised in passing the importance of relying on locally-grown fruit.

“We’ve been moving back to ‘buy local,’” Mrs. Edwards said, outlining a trade policy that “acknowledges the carbon footprint” of transporting fruit.

“I live in North Carolina. I’ll probably never eat a tangerine again,” she said, speaking of a time when the fruit is reaches the price that it “needs” to be.

Edwards had talked about “sacrifice,” at the meeting, but Elizabeth’s suggestion illustrated just how difficult it is to sell the specifics of sacrifice.

Asked about her comment immediately after the event, John Edwards avoided the question twice, then said he isn’t sure.

“Would I add to the price of food?” he asked. “I’d have to think about that.”

Can you say oops?

Clinton, Edwards talk of limiting debate

Democrats John Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton consider themselves among the top presidential candidates.

They were caught by Fox News microphones discussing their desire to limit future joint appearances to exclude some lower rivals after a forum in Detroit Thursday.

Edwards says, “We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group.”

Clinton agrees, saying, “We’ve got to cut the number” and “they’re not serious.” She also says that she thought their campaigns had already tried to limit the debates and say, “We’ve gotta get back to it.”

It amazes me how they both still think they are the big dogs.  Hillary has a lot of momentum, but Edwards is likely going to be delegated to being someone’s possible VP pick.  He has no credibility and his elitism will never fly. 

But in Hillary’s case I hope she is afraid of Obama and the late entry, Al Gore.

Of course both claimed plausible deniability.

The Ann and Liz show continues and as usual people spend most of the time accusing Ann of saying things she did not say.  Take this link for example, where they gleefully chortle that:

Ann Coulter Loses It, Calls Elizabeth Edwards A “Harridan”

Except she didn’t call Edwards anything.

Yes, she is upset, and when the left continually misrepresents you it has to be frustrating.  But she did not call any specific person a harridan, she made a unspecific reference to being attacked by Harridans.  No where did she point a finger, and Liz is not the only female to challenge her, so this is more grandstanding.

 Furious Ann Coulter Strikes Back

An obviously angry Ann Coulter this morning ripped into critics who deliberately distorted her comments about former senator and presidential hopeful John Edwards.

After a relentless 24-hour firestorm during which much of the mainstream media used selective quotes to mangle the meaning of several of Ann’s comments about Edwards, Coulter set the record straight while talking with Joe Scarborough host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program.
