Schadenfreude (Pt. III)

On Super Tuesday, Ann Coulter-- Reagan Republican and Fox all-star-- seemed to backing down from her promise to actively campaign for Hillary Clinton if Sen. McCain becomes the GOP nominee. But the overall insanity remains as strong as ever-



Sen. McCain insists that his critics "calm down a litle bit". Yea, good luck with that, John.

NY Times op-ed columnist Gail Collins sums all this up-

"Meanwhile, the Republican far right has fallen into a remarkable snit over John McCain’s march to the nomination. Rush Limbaugh is virtually gnawing his own ankle in rage. By co-authoring legislation with Democrats, Limbaugh ranted, McCain was working with 'threats to the American way of life as we’ve always known it.' James Dobson says he won’t vote if McCain is the nominee because of infractions ranging from failure to back a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage to 'foul and obscene language.' Ann Coulter claims she’d support Clinton 'because she’s more conservative than he is.'

Once again, the reason for everything terrible about American politics for the last 20 years becomes clear. These people are nuts."

That's just wrong. These conservatives are very, very serious people.
