metrognomeParticipantI thought people might need a good laugh to start the weekend …
first, according to uber-conservative pundit Ann Coulter, soccer represents this country’s ‘moral decay’ because individual achievement is not celebrated the way it would be in a real American sport. It can be co-ed. It’s a foreign sport. It’s Teddy Kennedy’s fault because he got an immigration law passed in 1965. If your great-grandfather was born in America, you’re not watching soccer.
Ann Coulter: Growing popularity of soccer ‘sign of the nation’s moral decay’
next, we have frequent Fox ‘News’ contributor Dr. Keith Ablow opining that the World Cup is all an elaborate plot by Obama to distract from the world’s problems. Shockingly, the rest of the Fox panel members disagreed.
Wonder what self-professed soccer mom Sarah ‘Going Rogue’ Palin thinks about all this.

HappyOnAlkiParticipantPalin probably agrees, Metrognome — she’s a HOCKEY mom, remember? None of this namby-pamby soccer stuff for HER, I’m sure!

JeannieParticipantPity poor pundit Ann. She hasn’t been in the news for a while, so she’s desperate for attention. She knows saying something offensive, stupid, and outrageous will put her in the news. That’s the formula publicity ho’s use.

datamuseParticipantNot only have I watched soccer, I used to–gasp–PLAY soccer. I’m Ann Coulter’s worst nightmare!
…I’m okay with that.

maplesyrupParticipantShe’s just trolling for attention. Don’t give it to her.

metrognomeParticipantHOA — thanks for the clarification. You can tell I pay no attn. to SP, but I hate making mistakes.
Wait, don’t they wear namby-pamby things like pads and helmets and face guards in both football and soccer? Don’t recall seeing any such protective devices in futbol/soccer …
datamuse, I’ve started work on a script for a blockbuster movie where you battle ZombieAnn for the soul (and brains) of humanity. Of course, you will play yourself; I imagine she will not return my calls.

metrognomeParticipantBen Gazzara? Why in heaven’s name are the Republicans investigating Ben Gazzara? He’s a perfectly good actor and I think he’s kinda sexy. Just because he was mean to Patrick Swayze in ‘Road House’ doesn’t mean he’s a terrorist, fer cryin’ out loud? Besides, he’s dead! What? Al Ben Jazera, is that it? No? Ben Gauzy? Never heard of him … what movies was he in? Oh, never mind!
apologies to Gilda Radner (aka Emily Litella) whose comic genius I am so bad at imitating. Rest In Peace.

SmittyParticipantFor years (and this is coming from a conservative, mind you) I thought she MUST be a liberal plant. Saying things as obnoxious as possible to make us look bad.
Alas, I think she really thinks this way – or at the very BEST is just trying to sell books.
Hey, we’re a “Big Tent” party! :~)

PatrickKeymasterThe cat likes to sit on the couch and help me watch the World Cup and he can trace his lineage all the way back to the alley behind the Yen Wor. So I don’t think there’s much to what she said.

HMC RichParticipantEver notice the mole next to Obama once in awhile. Oh wait, that is Vice President Biden.
July 2, 2014 at 6:27 pm #810204
JoBParticipantSorry rich…she’s your bimbo.
You get to own her..
Along with Sarah and Michelle and the best hope for the Cheney family.
The choices Republicans have made about which women to spotlight are eerily consistent: (
July 6, 2014 at 8:26 pm #810205
HMC RichParticipantI don’t pick on women like you do.
July 7, 2014 at 6:07 am #810206
JoBParticipantYes you do
Every time you vote republican
I truly wish that the choices republicans were making about the women they choose as spokespeople reflected a respect for women
But they don’t
The biggest difference between the republican mouthpieces And me is that they pick on all women
I only pick on those making an arse of themselves

The Velvet BulldogParticipantI wasn’t going to watch any World Cup simply because sports aren’t really my thing. However, thanks to this post I actually watched bits of a couple different games (including the end of the US Team’s run–alas.)
So I have now done my part to contribute to the moral decay of America.
You’re welcome!

redblackParticipantno “individual achievement,” eh? aren’t all FIFA players basically free agents, as long as they’re at least partial citizens of the countries they play for in the world cup? and isn’t that the very epitome of individualism?
then there’s the nationalism. i know conservatives luuurve them some nationalism.
and, umm, IIRC there’s no commie players’ union in soccer.
July 10, 2014 at 9:38 pm #810209
redblackParticipantoh, and patrick: you have great avatars. love “the prisoner.”
but i was wrong about your harry dean stanton. i think that picture was actually from christine, not repo man.
want your generic 6-pack of beer back?
