[...] It has come to our attention that most of you are still referring to Democratic presidential contender John Edwards as “Silky Pony“. As excellent and chuckleworthy as that may be, time moves on, new scandals emerge, and new sobriquets must be bestowed. Besides, “Silky Pony” has been criticized as both misogynist and homophobic.

[...] Hot Air throws Ann Coulter under the bus for her faggot comment, even though a few weeks ago they made a video where they portrayed John Edwards as My Little Pony. [...]

Genius.

I’m not. I just put the fingers of one hand together, kissed them and then touched both of my cheeks :)

I finally had a chance to watch the vidoe – you two are having so much fun and, in turn, we do too :)

Also, clicked on the silky pony’s home page – couldn’t believe my eyes “the right and the new racism”.

Where there aren’t two Americas, let’s invent them, while we live a cushioned life on the other side of the tracks, and where there isn’t racism, let’s invent that too because it brings us votes.

Note – the racism is more about homophobia, but not to be too exact, any -phobia or -cism might bring votes.

Were it not for his super lack of judgment, heh…narcissism is never good, but it’s silky.

Not random. Laura Ingraham dubbed Edwards the “silky pony” for obvious reasons, and it stuck.

And I’ve had that song in my head ever since editing that show.

That was hilarious!
I still don’t really get the my little pony connection though. Was it just random?

Thank God.

Great Vent gang. I think the Breck Girl’s presidential hopes have evaporated. Forever.

I loved this one. When was the last time any of us heard that “My Little Pony” theme? Now I’ll have it in my head all day! Anyway, I agree with Edward that their faces should have been on the other end.

Very funny video. Um…just one thing though….the heads of Amanda and Melissa should be on the other ends of the ponies, under the tails. It much more accurately reflects their stature and the level of the conversation that they bring to the public square after all. I shan’t say more.

I went over to the Edwards blog and argued that they needed to get rid of her, eventually identifying myself as (horrors!!) a Republican. Most of them believe that you don’t listen or talk to Republicans. I argued that Edwards should adopt a higher standard than Ms. Marcotte, and not just whine about the Republican Hate Machine(TM). In a real strange turn, some of the nutroots would start posting recipes on threads of which they disapproved — the weird blog-equivalent of trying to shout someone down.

It’s good for this type of thing to happen, because it makes many things clear for the rest of the world.

I mean, I shan’t (word of the day) belabor the obvious here, but if you put MadMarcotte in a room with 100 other normal women, and asked any American man to pick out the far left moonbat who likes to rant on about The Great Patriarcy in the Sky …. he’d pick out MadMarcotte in a heartbeat.
I’m really not trying to be superficial, I’m just curious: is it impossible to be a far left lunatic and still, I don’t know, get a decent haircut? Take care of yourself? To try to look like you aren’t frozen in time in the middle of Lilith Fair 1998, perpetually listening to your Indigo Girls CD’s while you speak truth to patriarchal power?
Just wonderin.’
Professor Blather on February 13, 2007 at 12:27 PM

So are you picking up on the signals from my tinfoil hat Prof?

…or do great minds just think alike?

Again, I had the same thought, when I saw the picture of the new president of Harvard.

Not quite gaydar but….? rabid left-wing femi-nazi ‘dar?

Edwards gets blogged down - good article on blogging and politics.

Once a campaign starts stroking checks to bloggers, they're sharing a bed. So while the blogs remain great hunting grounds for Democratic voters, candidates must choose their online partners with great care.
