The issue is his integrity not his intelligence. He's a smart gal.

Take a look at the list of Rhodes Scholars and their accomplishments. S/he ranks right up there with Kris Kristofferson. TV personality and social activist.

Not cool. Firstly, Rachel Maddow is not a transgendered person. Secondly, even if she was, that is a totally inappropriate attack. Disagree with her ideology? Fine. Disagree away, it's what makes us Americans, total disagreeability.

And, yes, I have indeed chastised liberal posters for using the same tactic regarding Ann Coulter - another non-transgender woman. I disagree with virtually every word she utters (verbal vomit, anyone?), but I would never attack her in that terrible and inappropriate way.

So what? People need to quit being so offended so easily. Like it or not, she fits the stereo type of a butch. You cant deal with that, oh well.

I went to a restaurant tonight w/ my g/f. Nearby table had two gay men, flamboyant and strange looking as one can imagine. If they choose to carry themselves that way in looks, how they act, dress etc, and fit the stereotype of some gays, then they have to be able to deal with some thinking they are odd and strange and ridiculous looking.

And really, if she go on tv and call a Supreme Court Justice a troll, then poking fun at her butchness is even more fair game.

As for this story, I dont make much of it. It falls into the who cares category no matter what side you are on. I happen to find her full of it most of the time and a far left delusional loser who carries the water of people like Obama. But I find this story to be a whole lot about nothing.

I have more disdain for Coulter than Rachel.
