I find it amazing that Mr. Rich can write so much about his topic. Perhaps he is paid by the word.

[RWR8189]

Much of what he says has relavence.

Government needs to stay away from my cable tv and satellite radio.

If you don't like the content, there is a knob, even better, don't pay the fee.

No wonder another recent poll, from the Pew Research Center, finds that for all the real American displeasure with coarse entertainment, a plurality of 48 percent believes that "the government's imposing undue restrictions" on pop culture is "a greater danger" to the country than the entertainment industry itself.

Gee, is that the same Pew Research Center that recently tried to distance itself from the its former head that publicly admitted they were guilty of "astroturfing." That is, faking "grass-roots" opinion?

[Mad Mammoth]

Sounds like Rich skipped his Estrogen Replacement Therapy this week.

[MattMa]

Just finished reading Mr. Anderson's book. He points out why the conservatives is making a come back. And the left just can not handle it.

Maybe Mr. Rich just finished the book also, only to discover the South Park has been making fun of his ilk for the past few years.

Might want to ping the troops...

I love South Park, but they are by no means captives of the Right. In fact, Parker and Stone do a great job of parodying the excesses of both the Left and the Right. Most episodes have Stan or Kyle delivering a short "moral" at the end of every episode--these are usually right on. They took a big swipe a Mel Gibson and "The Passion" a few years ago. The fact that they end up taking on the Left more often than the Right tells you a lot about which is more out of control, however.

...what Hillary Clinton's overreaching big-government health care plan did to the Democrats a decade ago is the whammy the Schiavo case has inflicted on the G.O.P.

Mr. Rich, you wish.

[MikefromOhio]

In other words, what Hillary Clinton's overreaching big-government health care plan did to the Democrats a decade ago is the whammy the Schiavo case has inflicted on the G.O.P. today.

boy this is guy reaching on several levels. First of all, only a dip$hit liberal would make light of the Terri tragedy. Whereas the Hillary Healthcare plan is more of a joke, at least no one was killed there, that we know of.....

SOUTH PARK PING!

For those who don't know how you got on this ping list: the initial ping list was created by copying member names from past South Park threads.

Please ping me with any South Park related articles. Thank you!

If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.

This is expected to be a low to medium volume ping list.

Create a South Park character of yourself.

[Lazamataz]

I wonder. Can the New York Slimes take ONE day off of bashing conservatives?

[dts32041]

What I find astounding is that Ms. Rich didn't mention what happened to Hans Blix, I have only one thing to say to Ms. Rich America, F*** Yeah.

A beautiful May day with the Release of TA on a few days away.

[Hildy]

Is John Stewart really that popular? Honestly? Do teenagers TIVO John Stewart commenting on the news? I think it's more hype than reality. I may be wrong...maybe wishful thinking.

Frank Rich

Not even good enough to call him "king of leftist drivel". It is lower than mediocre, maybe down to the pathetic level. Oh well, it keeps him off of welfare like his readers.

[E Rocc]

The point Rich missed is that the :South Park Republicans", at least here, thought the PSP/Schiavo episode was one of the best ever, and many of us even agreed with its basic premise.

largest number of bleeped-out repetitions (162) of a single four-letter expletive

Well, this goes to show Mr. Rich's total lack of knowledge on the subject. As every South Park fan knows, they DIDN'T "bleep-out" the four-letter word.

Plus, Rich never notes that South Park is LIBERTARIAN, which means it agrees with conservatives 9 times out of 10. The Terry Schiavo episode wasn't a reaction to Republican arrogance, it was totally consistent with South Park ethos.

[Bullish]

liberals had Leonardo DiCaprio, the Dixie Chicks and the Boss.

Yuuuch! Please keep 'em.

[ozzymandus]

Saw it was by frank rich and didn't read it. Nyaa, nyaa, nyaa, rich!

[rockrr]

That Rich bytch has got me going now --- I don't "¢¾" South Park, I "$7/8" it ;'}
