Strange Bedfellows!

Sooooooooooo.

How do I explain this to my cortical synapses? "Ya see sometimes, when a former Democrat President nuclear physicist peanut farmer, & an arrogant tempestuous egotistical conservative share the same oxygen source, the two of them are going to sound pretty much like the horses asses they are." Got that?

Here we have a week during which former United States President Jimmy Carter announced to the world that he's positive that this Administration tortures people. When pressed by interviewer Wolf Blitzer, Carter said, "I don't think it, I know it!"

• During the same interview Carter voiced his assuredness that if he'd had just one more helicopter during his botched Iranian rescue attempt, those 52 American Embassy hostages held by Ahmadinejad and his cohorts for 444 days, would have been home much sooner!

REALLY??? Well, I have to give you credit Mr. Former President, your hateful anti-Americanism is at least consistent! ( Geez, somebody pinch me - we really elected this man the Leader of our country? What were we thinking! )

At the very same time we had best selling author and conservative pundit Ann Coulter, pushing her new book while being interviewed by Donny Deutsch on CNBC. During the interview - (don't ask me how they got from political conventions to religion) - Deutsch asked Coulter, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" Coulter said "Yeah."

Here's the next few lines of conversation as reported on CNN.com. (Careful folks! This becomes a train wreck very quickly! It's even painful to read!)

• Deutsch, himself Jewish, continued to press Coulter on her remarks, asking, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians then?"
• "Yeah," Coulter responded, adding "Well, (Christianity) it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track."
• "You can't possibly believe that," Deutsch responded. "You can't possibly. You're too educated."

(Everybody hear the train? choo choo choo choo !!) Back and forth it went for a minute or so and then finally Deutsch asked Coulter if she doesn't want any Jews in the world?

• Coulter responded, "No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say." (BOOM!! Train wreck!)
• "Wow, you didn't really say that, did you," Deutsch said.
• "Yeah, no," Coulter replied. "That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know we're all sinners."
• Deutsch said he was personally offended.
• "No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be," she said. "I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to live up to all the laws. What Christians believe — this is just a statement of what the New Testament is — is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament."

Now, I've always thought Ann Coulter was a mostly funny, sometimes haughty, always bitingly sarcastic, uber-conservative. As of this interview with Donny Deutsch she's really given me the creeps! I'm getting that same gut feeling I had when I listened to Mel Gibson trying to explain his drunken anti-Semitic "rant" after being arrested ...... yuck! creepy! Shame on you Ann.

To both Jimmy and Ann - as you pull the bedcovers up over your heads and try to forget this week - I only have one question ...... Do you ever worry that your head will explode after saying something that STUPID?

Have a nice weekend everyone!
