So you have no examples of her "distorting" the facts.

Thank you.

My favorite Coulter lie.

In a highly publicized stop at Monticello during Clinton's 1993 inaugural festivities, Gore pointed to carvings of Washington and Benjamin Franklin and asked the curator: 'Who are these guys?' He was surrounded by reporters and TV cameras when he said it.

If the Coultergeist and your MessiahRushie and the Weekly Sub-Standard, etc., were not all scripted by the GOP, how could they all independently make the same mistake? I have often said that CON$ lie in packs, and this is a perfect example.

Now Gore pointed to the wall sconces when he asked "who are these people?" There are only 4 wall sconces and the curator named 5 people, Franklin, Lafayette, John Paul Jones, Adams, and Washington, with Washington on "the extreme right." Which means that Washington was not part of the group of busts Gore pointed to, which also means saying Gore pointed to Washington was a lie.

Then on the video we hear Gore name the bust of Franklin HIMSELF, without any help from the curator. Gore ends his pan of the busts with his pointing finger at Franklin on the left end. He then starts to lower his arm, but almost immediately after he lowers it he raises it again and re-points to Franklin and names the bust with one word "Franklin." He is talking over the curator who is saying the words "Washington on the extreme." So the Franklin claim is also a lie.

We also do not see Gore surrounded by "reporters and TV cameras" in the video. There were no reporters and one camera provided the same government feed to all the networks. So Coulter is three for three in lies in just two sentences.

Below are two interactive panoramas of the Tea Room, one furnished and one bare, so you can see there are only 4 wall sconces and also the semi-circular niche that was once a stove, where at the bottom the bust of Washington sat at the time of Gore's visit, to the right and lower than the sconces. Gore's arm was at the same height when he panned the busts so he never saw or pointed to Washington tucked away in the niche.

Jefferson referred to the Tea Room as his "most honorable suite" because in it he displayed many likenesses of his friends and American heroes, including busts of Franklin, John Paul Jones, Lafayette, and Washington. The room had a reading and writing arrangement perhaps similar to the one Jefferson kept in his Cabinet. One of the coldest rooms in the house in winter, it had, at one time, a stove in the semi-circular niche in wall.

It was a scene that would become a favorite among aficionados of Al Gore's frequent but often under-reported verbal bloopers. On Sunday, January 17, 1993, just days before the
Clinton/Gore inauguration, the vice president- elect was touring Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home outside Charlottesville, Virginia. The visit was an important photo-op; Gore and Bill Clinton were about to start their showy retracing of the trip Jefferson took to Washington for his own inaugural in 1801.
Guided by Daniel Jordan, executive director of Monticello, Gore came upon a row of white marble busts. "Who are these people?" he asked. A little taken aback, Jordan hesitated and quietly answered. That's George Washington on the right, he said. And that's Benjamin Franklin. And Jefferson, too.
Gore had asked an almost breathtakingly stupid question, the kind that when uttered in public can result in a barrage of mocking reports in the press. But the soon-to-be vice president's comments didn't attract much coverage.

4. He ( Quayle ) became a political punch line after correcting a youth at a spelling bee by asking him to add an "e" to the correct spellingof "potato." ... While Quayle was routinely roasted in the media, current VicePresident Al Gore seems to have largely gotten a free pass from the media for bizarre gaffes that surpass Quayle's. ... In 1993, in a tour of Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate of Monticello, Gore asked about a row of busts: "Who are these people?" The New York Times explained the curator "helpfully identified the unfamiliar faces: `This is George Washington on the extreme right,' with Benjamin Franklin close behind." TV coverage? Zero.

Edwards thinks Gore ought to tend to his own pot before attacking Bush's kettle.

Dan Quayle caught a lot of flack for being a moron, which is not a nice thing to do to a guy -- harmful to the self-esteem and all. Well, the media must have been convicted that endlessly pointing out the mental vacuity of veeps is morally wrong, because, when it came time for Al Gore to become the most important substitute player in professional sports, the pundits, journalists, and anonymous sources all stayed home any time Gore used his wingtips to wipe the drool from his mouth.
While Gore may be capable of spelling potato without a hitch, considering the many moronic mutterings he's made since donning the mantle of vice president, he definitely needs the "Be a dolt for free" pass the media decided to grant him so many years ago.
Remember the incident in which the VP was strolling through the halls of Monticello, ogling at the busts of the Founding Fathers? "Who are these people?" Gore asked the tour guide. Without a chuckle, the gracious man was kind enough inform the vice president that he was staring at the figures of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin -- folks who he had hopefully heard about, I should think.

Ann Coulter refers to Ted Kennedy as, "Glad he's gone human pestilence" on Morning Joe.

Human Pestilence?

The entire crew sits there wide eyed and silent. Once she's gone, they talk about what a "great guy" Ted Kennedy was. If they felt that way, why not say something to her face?

And she goes on about "conservative values".

Let's recap:

Human pestilence.

"Let him die".

Applauds executions.

Wants to get rid of the EPA because a certain number of birth defects are "acceptable".

Turn Medicare in to a "voucher program".

Blackmails the nation, holding the unemployed hostage to push for a Bush Tax cut extension.

Supports removing the payroll tax break to lay more burden on the Middle Class.

These just aren't my values. Thank Gawd.

Maybe they were afraid of her confronting them with Ted Kennedy being the murderer of Mary Jo Kopechne?

He was a low life piece of shit and should have NEVER been voted into the senate after he killed that girl and ran away from the scene.

The term "Chappaquiddick incident" refers to the circumstances involving the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, whose body was discovered underwater inside an automobile belonging to her driver, U.S. Senator Edward M. ("Ted") Kennedy. During the early morning hours of July 19, 1969, Kopechne's body and the car were found in a tidal channel on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts. After the discovery, Kennedy gave a statement to police saying that during the previous night Kopechne was his passenger when he took a wrong turn and accidentally drove his car off a bridge into the water. After pleading guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury, Kennedy received a suspended sentence for two months in jail.
