Big props (as the kids say) to the folks over at Media Matters for their comprehensive — but hardly exhaustive — list of the year’s “best” quotes from our favorite dancing entertainment monkeys: the right-wing pundits/mouthpieces.
Some of the highlights:
CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck to Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minn.: “OK. No offense, and I know Muslims. I like Muslims. … With that being said, you are a Democrat. You are saying, ‘Let’s cut and run.’ And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, ‘Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.’ ” [11/14/06]Ann Coulter on Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I.: “They Shot the Wrong Lincoln.” [8/30/06]
Fox host Geraldo Rivera: “I’ve known [Sen.] John Kerry [D-Mass.] for over 35 years. Unlike me, he is a combat veteran, so he gets some props. But in the last 35 years, I’ve seen a hell of a lot more combat than John Kerry. And for a smart man like that in a political ploy to set a date certain only aids and abets the enemy, and the Democrats are at their own self-destructive behavior once again.” [6/22/06]
Fox News host Sean Hannity, two months before the November midterm elections: “This is the moment to say that there are things in life worth fighting and dying for and one of ‘em is making sure [Rep.] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] doesn’t become the [House] speaker.” [8/29/06]
Trust, it only gets better. And once you check out the entire list, ask yourself the following question:
Why do the networks still let these people (and often pay them to be) on TV?
