I (hate) America

So last night the Daily Show had author Bernie Goldberg who just wrote The 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America( and Al Franken is #37). Jon Stewert took this guy to school as most of the list is left wing commentators... like Al Franken BUT Bill O'Rielly and Rush are no where to be found.
Jon( and most of my American hating friends) further pointed out that perhaps we should be less worried about cultural damage and more worried about say Rove who violated National Security.

I've decided to list the 100 here as I just find it VERY funny, esp as Tad Rall a political cartoonist that I link to is #15- and David Duke, a known Klansman, is a mere #66.

And I love that my Senator- Kennedy, made #3 but as I say in the title... I hate America.

Looked at the 100 book today... I specifically looked at #37 and #3
#37) Al Franken... in which he just writes a 'satirical' script to make fun of Al Franken's satire. It was stupid, annoying and NOT funny.
#3) Ted Kennedy- First the author brings up Chappaquidic, rumors of Ted cheating as a youth and the fact that one of his cousins was accused of Date Rape. Gee... unlike W. who's grandfather worked with Nazis or Ah-nold who's father WAS a Nazi.
His three big bones with Ted is 1- The fact that Ted Kennedy lead the charge against Bork being a member of the Supreme Court. And he goes on to point out that Ted did such a good job that whenever a president puts up a candidate they worry that the candidate is gonna get 'borked'= shut down completely by congress. 2- Ted accused a black CONSERVATIVE of being a sexual predator( Clarance Thomas). How DARE he! And what would've the dems done if the Republicans had accused a LIBERAL black of being a sexual predator.
[drew- funny but I thought the repugs did that ALL during the 60's]
The third 'strike' against Ted, was Ted ACCUSING W. of going to war against Iraq for political purposes. Ted had the gall to say that W. was committing TREASON just so that W. would get good poll numbers. Never mind the fact that WMDs have never been found and there was more of a terrorist connection to Saudi Arabia then there was to Iraq.
