A democrats RANT about Ann Coulter and Lucianne Goldberg

For a good laugh only A must read by a Ranting Rat

LOL says TLBSHOW They seized the White House, won a Republican majority in Congress, and now they've got nothing better to do than whine about Gary Condit?

The Republican Restoration Weekend at The Broadmoor hotel had its amusing moments -- like when a panel of four conservative black men and a white guy earnestly informed a room packed with lily-white upper crusters that the Republican Party is a true haven for people of color.

And there was that hilarious flier, hyping a soon-to-be-published book titled Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda in North Viet Nam, claiming it will "prove conclusively that there was sufficient evidence to indict and convict Jane Fonda."

Jane Fonda? Or how about feminists, especially NOW? Jimmy Carter? Commies? The Liberal Media? Big Brother? With the exception of Bill Clinton, the Republicans' weekend-long enemies' list was so passé -- like a dust-off from 1980.

The Restoration Weekend, a project of David Horowitz's Los Angeles-based Center for the Study of Popular Culture, was touted as a right-wing version of the Democrats' annual Renaissance Weekend, where high-powered liberals gather to wonk at each other about public policy.

The headiest event of this $1,400-a-pop Labor Day weekend's Republican version -- attendee Robert Woodson described it as the "most honest debate and discussion" of the weekend -- was the panel discussion "What Does Gary Condit Tell Us About Ourselves?" As moderator Mike Rosen explained, "Gary Condit has been the summer of entertainment for us."

This was where the unbearably screechy syndicated columnist Ann Coultier attacked Chandra Levy -- who, let's all remember -- is missing and presumed dead.

"She was a dimwit hussy," Coultier insisted. "I don't want to be insulting, but we don't need to turn [Levy] into Madame Curie to say Condit probably killed her."

Another panelist, Lucianne Goldberg, suggested that the congressman may actually be covering up yet-to-be-uncovered fetishes.

Up until 1998, Goldberg was blessedly unknown, her only claim to fame being the author of Madame Cleo's Girls -- an obscure novel about a trio of high-class prostitutes. But then Goldberg splashed her way into the headlines for her notable role in convincing Linda Tripp to wire herself while engaging galpal Monica Lewinsky in some juicy girl talk.

Now, lucianne.com is a one-woman industry, and she counts among her clients former LA cop Mark Fuhrman, who, she informed Sunday's GOP crowd, has told her that Gary Condit is clearly guilty of murder, because "he acts like a man who is sure the body will never be found."

"That's what's made this so fun, being armchair detectives," Goldberg said. "I hope in my heart he did it -- he deserves to have done it."

Fellow panelist, Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, compared Condit to Wile E. Coyote and said the whole mess is indicative of a transformation in American politics from real life to a cartoon world.

"Republicans just don't do this. We as a party have great respect for the law," Barr declared.

Immediately after the debate, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens declined to assign a level of gradation on the morally reprehensible scale of which is worse: Condit's affair with a 24-year-old or the governor's own former re-election co-chairman and Republican political appointee Randy Ankeney, who was charged last month with picking up a 13-year-old girl off the Internet, getting her stoned and drunk, photographing her topless and then sexually assaulting her.

"What a sleazeball," the governor said of his former friend.

But for panelist Patrick Caddell, enough was enough. On Monday, Labor Day, he let 'em have it.

Caddell, who once worked for Carter and George McGovern, and more recently a consultant and writer of The West Wing TV show, delivered an impassioned chastise to the crowd, citing the hypocrisy of the weekend.

Cemeteries are full of American soldiers whose gravestones do not carry a "D" or an "R," Caddell reminded the crowd.

American journalism -- the so-called "liberal media" -- is owned by a handful of conservative corporations who give a rat's ass about newsroom budgets or operations. "We've created a world where the press is not free," Caddell reminded the crowd.

Jimmy Carter did not rape the American Constitution, Caddell reminded the crowd. Carter did not trade weapons for hostages, as Ronald Reagan did.

Both major political parties, Caddell reminded the crowd, have sold out to the highest bidders, and corruption in politics is neither free speech nor Democracy.

There are good liberals and good conservatives. "Character is the only thing that matters," he practically bellowed.

Amazingly, Caddell got a hearty applause from the audience. Many of them, gauging the looks on their faces, were just being polite.

Well, that's it for Pat Caddell. He blew it. He was making a good living on the screaming head circuit as a "disenchanted" Democrat. That way he could say all kinds of anti-Democrat things with a credibility no Republican would be granted. There were times when the only way to tell Caddell from Rush Limbaugh was that one has a goatee.

And now he's gone and done it. He has stood up in front of all those hands that feed him and told them the truth -- that they are being rank hypocrites if they don't acknowledge that the records show that Republicans are just as sleazy as Dems, if not more so.

But Caddell has a problem if he thinks he can now trot back over to the Democrat's side of the field. He's finished over there, and you can be sure he's finished in the GOP now, too. You can't talk to Republicans that way; they'll get even. Which means no more talk show appearances for Pat, no more invites to conservative events, no more speaking fees, etc., etc. (Notice how quickly Larry Klayman left the screen when he started talking about investigating Republicans?)

I don't know why Pat did what he did -- stand up alone in a huge room and speak truth to power -- but apparently he did it.

So I say more power to him -- while knowing full well that when it comes to power, the ex-ex-Democrat Pat Caddell is now going to have none at all.

These are the same people who, in the face of Clinton perjury, subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice, official corruption and the whole eight year mess, simply responded "There's nothing new here. Let's move on."

You expected maybe a backbone?  Remember, there is no
such thing as an inveterate Republican in office.  The
word is invertebrate.

Republicans are just as sleazy as Dems,

Thats your defense? We are as bad as you?

You, Hidy, make our case for us, as nothing but idiocy spews out when you open your snoot.

Republicans knew Caddell was a Democrat and likely to have dissenting views when they asked him to speak. Do you think a Republican in front of a Dem crowd would get any applause much less polite? Do you remember Bob Casey, a Dem governor, being refused permission to speak at the '96 Dem convention about abortion? As this forum suggests, conservatives are much more apt to have disagreeing views and tolerance of different opinions than libs and Dems.

Yes Pat, but most of them were sent to the cemetery by a "D", e.g. LBJ, JFK, Truman, FDR, Wilson and all those fun Southern "D"s who started the Civil War. The "R"s either ended "D" started wars, e.g. Nixon, Ike, Lincoln, or if wars started under their watch the body counts tended to be low, e.g. GHWB and McKinley. Some of the above represents bad luck by the "D"s, but poor "D" strategy and tactics to fight the wars and poor, at best naive, "D" diplomacy to encourage them deserves significant blame.

Oh come. You forgot that the "D"'s keep deliberately forgetting that the price of liberty is eternal vigilence. They constantly breed and support the conditions that require the spilling of American blood to correct.

Thanks for the post. And BTW thanks for your efforts on Capitol Grilling - some of those people aren't beyond help. I enjoy reading Capitol Grilling - but I don't go to the real demonscum.com sites.

Carter did not trade weapons for hostages, as Ronald Reagan did.

That EVIL Ronald Reagan, how could he do such a thing, giving weapons to the Iranians so they could kill Iraqis, in exchange for the release of American hostages. How EVIL EVIL EVIL!!! Ronald Wilson Reagan was the most EVIL EVIL EVIL man ever!!! Waah Waaah WAAAAAH!! </sarcasm>

Neither side won the Iran-Iraq war, both sides lost. We played that well from a foreign policy standpoint, only a liberal or a Jihadnik could be angry with Reagan.
