Keep it up, Annie!

Months ago, I realized that Crazy Annie had tremendous potential to help raise money for all sorts of cool progressive causes.

It's really simple. Here's how it goes: Crazy Annie makes one of her insane remarks about liberals or journalists or Democratic presidential candidates or feminists or non-whites or gays or Arabs or people to the left of Bush. Left-wing candidates and organizations post the footage, sound files, or text on their Web sites while urging their supporters to donate! donate! donate! "Send Ann Coulter a message! We're everything she's afraid of, and with your help, we can (insert name of progressive goal here)!"

Looks like John Edwards has already figured this out. This is the second time that Team Edwards has used Crazy Annie's words against her. In fact, I suspect that Elizabeth Edwards called Annie knowing she'd say something stupid and knowing that it would be great for a fundraising pitch. Perhaps Michelle Obama should give Annie a call the next time she referred to Michelle's hubby as "B. Hussein." That would be priceless.

Please, CPAC, invite Crazy Annie back in 2008! It'll be a goldmine for Dem fundraisers!

Then there's also the fact that the MTA was urging people not to take the subways and opt for a bus instead, only for buses to be (A) few and far between and (B) crowded as anything. They forgot to mention "(C) fucking slow." Don't the people at the MTA feel really stupid when they say shit like this? MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in...

Some perspective, please

Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
