Too much testosterone, too few brain cells...

Self-pity self-parody is an ugly thing. And it's purveyors, like Mr. Finkelstein, just make me shake my head in amusement and wonderment:

SNL's Anti-Ann Coulter Product Placement
By Mark Finkelstein

There's nothing into which Saturday Night Live can't work its liberal politics--even a conventional game-show sketch. NBC aired a re-run of the February 24th SNL last night, and watching it this morning I spotted what you might call an anti-Ann Coulter product placement.

In "What's That Bitch Talking About?" two contestants viewing a succession of women offering bare snippets of dialogue have to guess what they're talking about. The male contestant is consistently clueless. But Tina Fey's character gets it uncannily right every time, down to details that would in reality be impossible to guess. Sample: a woman murmuring "okay" into a phone is indeed getting directions to a margarita party to celebrate her graduation from DeVry, etc.

The male loser is sent packing, but not before he receives a lovely parting gift in the form of the home edition of "What's That Bitch Talking About?"

Cut to a quick close-up of the package featuring four women: Whitney Houston, Queen Elizabeth, a beauty queen who's presumably Miss South Carolina of "US Americans" fame, and, most prominently featured . . . Ann Coulter.

If any more proof of SNL's pro-Obama bias were needed, now we have it. Imagine dissing Hillary's most eloquent supporter like that!

Seriously, Don Quixote, do you have NOTHING better to do than tilt at windmills? Ann Coulter was on the cover, so what? She's a celebrity and a hate-mongering publicity whore and is perfectly fit for the cover. Also, considering her career seems to be tanking due to her years of hate-speech and how it's tiring out even the residents of Wingnuttia; for her, any exposure is probably better than no exposure.

Also, haven't you listened to the fevered bleatings of the Obama supporters on how SNL hates Obama and likes Clinton? Come on, if you're supposed to be a "media watchdog" maybe you should, oh, actually pay attention.

Seriously, crawl out of your cave. Pull your head out of your butt. Join the 21st century. Get an education and try to make something of yourself besides your pathetic attempts at being a professional victim. Because you're not any good at it and the only people who are going to fly with your idiotic ramblings are bound to be so delusional they're beyond help and will believe anything as long as it's vile and hateful while reinforcing their sense of victim-hood.
