red and blue

elizabeth edwards called into 'hardball' this week while ann coulter was on to ask her to stop being such a bitch, basically. this was after ann coulter, when asked whether she would steer clear of making comments about john edwards after calling him a faggot a while back, said she would keep her mouth shut except to say that she wished he'd been assassinated by terrorists.

i blogged before about how much i like elizabeth edwards, and now i'm really starting to like john edwards. i'm starting to think he may be the one who can win it in 2008. and i'm a sucker for annie leibovitz photos of handsome men (see this month's men's vogue cover featuring said candidate -- and the article ain't bad, either!).

so i was thinking i would blog about how evil ann coulter is and how great the edwardses are, etc., when i read a little further in the article that her comment was a riff on bill maher's comment in march that we would be in a lot better shape if cheney had been killed in that failed terrorist attack on his group in afghanistan.

that's when i realized that i agree with bill maher and, really, aren't both his comment and coulter's cut from the same cloth? and doesn't that make me a hypocrite if i condemn her 'cause i hate her but are ok with what bill maher said? don't answer that--it's rhetorical. i'm just sayin', is all.
