[Sniff!]
She-devil! Strumpet! Saucy Minx!
Well isn't that just like a man?
Dadgumit! For a moment the Editorial Staff was feeling positively warm and tingly. We thought he was talking about us.
Update: John Edwards lectures mean-spirited Rethugs about name-calling.... after calling Ann Coulter names!
You can't make this stuff up. Edwards:
Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling.Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media — including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh — when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.
"We know these people. We know their game plan. They're going to attack us personally," Edwards said. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is — forget the names — people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language."
Translation: ignore the fact that just now, I attacked Ann personally. Ignore the fact that I just engaged in name-calling, and vote for me because Elizabeth and I will STAND UP to the kind of people who engage in ad hominem attacks and mean-spirited name-calling!
Truly, boys and girls, the Strong Strength of Strongness has returned to America. Who said the Democrats are weak on national security? Should Evildoers ever threaten our way of life, John Edwards will be manning the ramparts; armed with the knowledge that no enemy can withstand a Fusillade of Disparaging Epithets quickly followed by a heartfelt pledge to abstain from ad hominem attacks.

Um. "Swear." I swear I don't know how these people graduated kindergarten.
Of course, many examples of their maturity and intelligence are seared, SEARED I TELL YOU!!!, into my memory...

Hypocrisy, thy other name is Democrat.

Don't worry, Cass. You'll always be "She-devil!" to me. :)

Whew!
I thought I was slipping.
Posted by: Cass at August 18, 2007 10:44 AM
I am so shocked! John Edwards is a hypocrite?
*thud*
I betcha he'll channel Ann Coulter too, just to prove it.

I guess Silky Pony Boy can change hys mynd too...after all, a mynd is a terrible thing to waste.

Is Ann Coulter running for office? No? Then why is Silky Pony running against her? He should be running against, you know, Hillary!
The following is a link found on HughHewitt.com, with the suggested voice-over: Hillary. She's coming.

John Edwards has relegated himself to mere entertainment of late.
I will say this, however. John Edwards is onto something with that whole "Two Americas" thing. With each passing day, it becomes abundantly clear that there is a John Edwards America and an America reserved for the non-Johns. And that's okay, really it is.
Although I'm of the female persuasion, I can't say that I have ever become as cozy with a compact mirror and a comb as John Edwards has, so I am pretty sure I couldn't cut it in his America. I'll just sit back in non-John land, collect beauty tips from the master and hope that one day my make-up and hair will be as "purdy" as his.
"Hope?" Did I say hope?

Oh, nevermind...

Heh, watching John Edwards make an ass out of himself is priceless. Coulter does get a bit hyperbolic at times. Mostly, she is intelligent and funny as hell. She doesn't have liveried political handlers as does Silky Pony, who is both desperate and stupid enough to pick a fight with Coulter, who has already savaged Edwards on numerous occasions. Silky Pony? Ouch.
Take a look at http://www.imao.us/ and their "Daily John Edwards Fabulous Fact", actually a collection of the snarkiest John Edwards jokes on the planet. Its a regular post, so you will have to scroll down to see them all.
And, yes, the Blog Princess is at least a 9'th degree She-Devil when the mood strikes her.

He'll fight for you. He just fights like a girl.

I mean, how did they ever graduate from KINDERGARTEN?!
What, you mean you need more than kindness to graduate from kindergarten? Which, amusingly enough, means garden of children in Germany. Literally, child garden - kinder garten
John here can garden children, aye yip.
He just fights like a girl.
He'll do okay if he uses the dirty tricks bag. Even a girl can do some damage with those techniques.
Posted by: Ymarsakar at August 18, 2007 04:43 PM
Anyone know if John ever had one of those ChiChia pets? That would make him even better at gardening.
Posted by: Ymarsakar at August 18, 2007 04:44 PM
Edwards is so far out of touch he probably dreams at night that the fair maiden will be clutching her bosom in terror while beseeching him to "SAVE ME! SAVE ME" as she lies loosely tied to the railroad tracks.
Dream on Johnny boy! Dream on! Your life is built on the shifting sands of luck, stupidity, ignorance, junk science, and hair gel.

A moment's thought might cause one to qualify that feeling;
She-devil? Check.
Saucy minx? Within limits.
Strumpet? I think not.

How can anyone call the Angel Cassandra a she devil?
Posted by: Ymarsakar at August 18, 2007 07:53 PM
Ymar, my friend, you are not observant in this case. Thread history:
Don't worry, Cass. You'll always be "She-devil!" to me. :)

Uncharacteristic of you, sir. :}

"Whew!I thought I was slipping."
Your Empress,
I find their lack of faith... disturbing.
Shall I engage the Death_Fusillade-of-Disparaging-Epithets_Star?
A cosmic disturbance, akin to a million cosmetologist foregoing $400.00+ trims, shall comb over the galaxy and gel into a fearful image, more sensed than seen.

The Angel Cassandra has many aspects and facets to her existence, socialism. She has the manifestation of the Blog Princess for example, in addition to Princess Leia, Wearing .7 of a Bikini.
Thus one of her best abilities is to show us what we want most to see and to show us that which bedazzles us. She would be slipping if she didn't keep us constantly guessing as to her true nature.
Posted by: Ymarsakar at August 18, 2007 10:30 PM
Our Blog Princess will always be our Saucy Minx. Question though. Is John Edwards hitting on our Ann Coulter? Sounds like it to me in a junior high sort of way. Y'all please tell me how wrong I am on this please.
Posted by: Rich at August 19, 2007 11:25 AM
Rich - has John Edwards pulled Ann Coulter's hair, or put her pigtails in the inkwell? Inquiring minds want to know!
Hair, hair...hmmm. Maybe it's a case of jealousy about who has the better hair!

Posted by: Ymarsakar at August 19, 2007 01:57 PM
Sort of like Star Wars. Perhaps that is why someone jacked Princess Leia's Danish Cheese...
