I don’t know if you read DearCoquette, née Coketalk, but I’ve always thought what she had to say on the matter was pretty smart:

Her views matter less that her judicial nominees. One more left leaning jurist and it would be gone.

This is why we have to have a Democratic president. The death penalty is barbaric and we have to get rid of it once and for all.

I can’t comprehend how we even do this anymore. It’s just horrific. This is why I will not be apathetic about politics. We may very well be able to end the death penalty in the next decade if we don’t end up with another Scalia or Thomas on SCOTUS.

No one wins here.

This is a national tragedy. The actual killer received a life sentence. Kelly has made a tremendous difference in the lives of many others during her time in prison. No one wins here.

Yep. God bless Ann.

I love her response that her mother taught her better than that... her mother, Ann Richards, governor of Texas.

I think the fact that she’s doubling down about something that is demonstrably false is pretty unusual, especially since she is stamping her feet and claiming media bias when even the conservative media says she’s full of shit.

Seriously, he sounds like he’s running for junior high class president with the amount of ridiculous things he is promising. “I promise, if I win, homework will be optional, tests will be scored by a friend of your choosing, lunches will be catered by Per Se and school will only be three days per week.”

We can ship them out on planes, great planes, huge planes, I have lots of planes and I know what to get. The plane guys, they respect me. I can work with them. Right now, we don’t have that.

Nuke him from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

He parodies himself. You don’t even need to write jokes about him, the comedy is just there.

Why send that card back with her new promotion? That was so cruel.

I wrote it down. She said 39. I added the “like” for fun. Sorry you were not charmed.

Even if it doesn’t turn out very good, it will still be better than a joyless Adam Sandler cash grab.

Or maybe they just want to have some fun?

Hey, who knows, maybe this movie will stink. It’s entirely possible. Lots of movies do. But at least these people are trying to put a little more joy into the world. They’re getting out of their chairs and giving it a go. What the fuck are you doing with your life?

This movie is going to be marvelous.

I would have hope that you’ll be fine, but then again, it *is* Bobby Jindal making that promise...
