Taking De-bate

Pardon us if we didn't watch that much of the three-hour poo fling by the Rethuglican clown car bus last night, since most expectations were met, in that front-running gas bag Donald "Rump" Trump had a big, bright target on his back, House of Bush princeling John Ellis "J.E.B.!" Bush* tried to man up against Rump, etc. etc.  Our broken media had virtually written the script for each of the candidates to follow, and most took the bait by flailing at Rump.  By some accounts, J.E.B.! didn't land the knock out punch that his wealthy backers were hoping for.  Second place candidate Dr. Ben "Off Meds?" Carson reprised his drowsy persona and may have lost ground.   The Beltway village still seems to be enamored with icy job destroyer Carly "Snarly" Fiorina, who responded to a softball question about Rump's ugly comment about her face by saying women in America heard him clearly.  Hunter at Daily Kos has a good summary of the non-debate at St. Ronnie of Hollywood's mauseleum, a fitting site for St. Ronnie's necrophiliacs, so that will wrap up….Wait, what's this?  Nasty right-wing harpie (M)Ann Coulter twitted out a tweet during the "debate":

How many f---ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?

We wish she'd stop sugar coating her views.  Her tweet-stream suggests that she thinks there's too much pandering to "Israel" << cough Jews >> by the Rethugs (when actually, they're pandering to the right-wing Likud's reactionary government and policies), so this should boost her status among neo-Nazis as their ideal, uh, woman.

* "J.E.B.!" also provided the best howler of the night when he said, "There's one thing I'll tell you about my brother.  He kept us safe."  =cough= September 11, 2001 =cough=  Apparently that's one canard that will live on and on in the "minds" of the Bush family and Republicans everywhere.
