Laura is great, a joy to listen to. AC is lost in space.

… people of girth, like Hillary and Teddy…

“People of girth”? Yeesh. Alan Colmes has become a caricature of himself.

As soon as I heard him say it, I snorted and Googled “people of girth.”
Michelle on July 19, 2007 at 10:25 PM
That was great, wasn’t it?
Bad Candy on July 19, 2007 at 10:27 PM
People of Girth. . . Is that like a New Religion or
something. A new liberal cult.

OT: Hey, Allah, what gives? The bloodbath Compeon-Ramos Post of Death by Patterico is long gone, and the “Top Picks” posts still twisting in the wind include HairAldo’s Self-Immolation (7-14), Osama-Hot or Not? (7-15), and the Umpteenth Episode of Blogging the Cowron (2-12).
What did Patterico promise you to make that mess go away? A case of Nut Brown? More?

What are you talking about? It didn’t get added to Top Picks and so it slipped off the page. Do a sidebar search for Ramos and Compean and it’ll pop right up.

People like Skeletor not only want to commit suicide, they want to make sure that they take as many of us down with them as they can.No wonder they side with the jihadists.

Aha! I’m gonna start a grievance group for heavy folks called Girth First! It’ll be great, I’ll be like the Jesse Jackson for people of girth, shakin’ down people for money…I’ll be rich!

I just wonder if Colmes thought that up ahead of time, or do euphemisms just come so naturally to liberals now?
reaganaut on July 19, 2007 at 11:23 PM
Yeah, there’s a lot of that going around.
Jaibones on July 19, 2007 at 11:24 PM
It’s not just a funny comment–it’s revealing: Colmes is a prot-typical Lib in that he reflexively avoids Uncomfortable Truths ( and for him, many truths are uncomfortable ) He’ll and his Ilk will make up new words and phrases to avoid reality and pursue cheesy political agendas
and truth is often the victim, which is why he is loathed while being ridiculed
Janos Hunyadi on July 19, 2007 at 11:25 PM

Janos Hunyadi on July 19, 2007 at 11:26 PM
We need more lettuce for everybody.
The blame is on us according to Chertoff for causing a shortage in cruciferous vegetables.
The people of girth is a byproduct of deporting illegal aliens.
Solution:
Boeing has just rolled out the all new wider, lighter 787 Dreamliner, due out in August.
See how American genius works!!
Always on time.

After what the Dems did today “Big Boned” is what CARE will

Uh, Michelle’s not being unreasonable, maybe you should have emailed Allah instead of complaining on a fun, goofy post, its kind of a buzzkill.

jambus59 on July 20, 2007 at 12:24 AM
Give Alan “people of girth” Colmes credit where it’s due.
As usual, he has his head in the sand about this, like it’s not really happening. The way he is about the War on Terror.
But, at least he doesn’t support the bloody thing.
Don’t give him a medal, mind you, but it’s something.
Hawkins1701 on July 20, 2007 at 12:25 AM
Alan must have pulled that out of the Big Book of PC Expressions.
imshocked on July 20, 2007 at 12:28 AM
Here in the Peoples Republik they have their own town but it’s called Dunlap for Dun laped over their belt buckle.
Actually if the Airlines sold all tickets by passenger and luggage weight on a public scale (pardon the pun) discrimination would be impossible.
Speakup on July 20, 2007 at 12:31 AM
Didn’t Bill Cosby once play a character named Girth Albert? What about girth chance? PC is killing use and the liberals are pushing it so hard that I hope they don’t over-exert themselves.
TruthToBeTold on July 20, 2007 at 12:35 AM
People of Girth?? I always use “horizontally challenged” to describe my condition.

Girth Smith: Shut up thin man.

Person of Girth = POG. I submitted it to the free dictionary’s list of acronyms, but I don’t think they’ll accept it.

As a member of the People of Intelligence minority, I feel I am being unfairly targeted by people like Alan Colmes.

It’s a cookbook! It’s a cookbook! :-)
Watcher on July 20, 2007 at 1:10 AM
Putting aside all of the hilarious asides about girth, did anyone notice that AC based part of his defense on the fact that ‘the media’ got the story wrong?
So, he’s basing an argument of media error? Not on what actually happened, as reported by eyewitnesses?
His argument must be that the eyewitnesses over-reacted, then media blew it up out of proportion.
I have this feeling that Colmes really does understand the threat we face from jihadist Muslims, but he’s so invested in holding to the Liberal position that he can’t admit that there are dangerous Muslims who want to destroy our civilization.
Liberal beliefs are sadly a shoddy house of cards, and no matter how they defend their beliefs, they are arguing against Reality. In Vegas we called those people losers.
Doug on July 20, 2007 at 1:16 AM
people of girth sounds so much better then calling them fat pigs.
Mojack420 on July 20, 2007 at 1:27 AM
Keep the one-liners coming!
My favorites:
“People of Girth, we come in peace.” – MirCat
Cartman: I’m not fat, I’m a person of girth! – Bad Candy
Is girth a country I’m not familiar with? – lorien1973
How does he know about their girth? – AlexB
Are there such things as cancles of girth? – Entelechy
How ’bout the Prince of Middle Girth? – Connie
Mine: “I’m not big-boned, I’m a person of girth”
BTW, I think Colmes realized how stupid that sounded as soon as he said it.

This moron was born with a dotted line around his neck. And when he saw his son did not have one, tattooed it one.

Ahem!
Those of us who are, shall we say, “girthbound,” well some of us anyway, object to certain comments and inuendos made against portly fellows like me in this thread.
You’ll note that those of us who are, um, calorie-challenged, are NOT making fun of those of you who are, um, on other side of the spectrum.
While I have the utmost respect and affection for our hostess, and find her very attractive, it is a fact that she is slight of build and is petite. However, you won’t find me (or any other girthling) insulting her based upon her looks. Well, my late mother would probably want to feed her second helpings and fatten her up, but to my mom like many other ethnic mothers, food is love.
So, let’s get the yuks over with. That way we can focus our energy on defeating the enemy (both foreign AND DOMESTIC) and getting our laughs at the expense of Silk Pony.
Thank you for your support.
The proceeding was a paid political announcement.

Always Right on July 20, 2007 at 7:15 AM
No Spirit,
Rotund is a polite way of saying fat. People of Girth is just PC run amok (once again). It’s the first step in liberals passing laws making the “people of girth” a protected class when it comes to civil protections. In other words, employers will be forced to prove they don’t discriminate against fatties in their hiring/promotion procedures. That means that everytime a plus-sized employee doesn’t think something is fair in the workplace, they can blame it on their “condition.”

It’s not openly spoken of in Islamic society, but it really takes an Imam of girth to issue a FATwa that will carry any weight with the faithful…

“People of girth” and “Children of Earth” please understand basics of life. Girth is caused by excesses (intake exceeds outflow).
Uncle Ted suffers from an excess intake of adult beverages, and Aunty Hillery (check the pics of her a Billy Bob on their secluded beach-so secluded the press was around to photo the embrace) stores her trans fats in the back of her thighs (there is more than enough cellulose material there to produce miles of film or cordite.

AC is a girth head and has a girth mouth.
Perhaps he should go smoke a girthy blunt and mellow out?
csdeven on July 20, 2007 at 10:06 AM
Since we have people of girth, shouldn’t have “people of delicacy” so we can stop calling Colmsey a cadaver?

Isn’t that anyone who weighs over 12 pounds to AC?
