You want an asshole on that show, let me point you to Paul Shaffer instead. All he does is guffaw slightly at each non-joke, repeat a few of Letterman’s words, and try to sound as cool as he thinks he looks with that shaved head and those indoor sunglasses. Pathetic little weasel. ---

And yet Al Franken will go through Coulter’s cites and debunk them point by point, rather than just saying “Well, she called liberals traitors, therefore anything she has to say isn’t worth listening to.” That’s the main reason I respect his intelligence. ---

The same principle applies to **Shayna**. My god, an actual response! Now we’re getting somewhere. In fact, it is research into those very cites and exploration of those very statements that lead one to conclude whether or not a person is worth listening to, otherwise it’s simple prejudice. Coulter’s have been shown repeatedly to be bullshit. **Shayna** ’s, not so much. I followed those election-time threads too, and nobody was able to show that **Shayna** was full of shit, they could only say it. ---

> [@Mr.Moto](#): > > I do not accept your attempts to restrict “political experience” to include elected office and nothing else. That frankly makes no sense. My point about Washington was made specifically in _response_ to an attempt to restrict acceptance of political qualifaction to include elected office and nothing else. I think you might have missed that context. If you want to argue that prior elected experience is not the only qualification that should be considered for higher elected office, then you’re only supporting my point (while, ironically, simultaneously missing it). My enitire _point_ was that political qualifications should not be limited to elected experience. ---

Well, since you seem to have a better memory than I, perhaps you can link to the threads in question? There were so many election threads that I can’t look through them all, and [the](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=456591) [ones](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471523) I did glance through don’t show **Shayna** being refuted in any real way, only ignored. You’d think this whole discussion about Obama’s accomplishments and her linking to them would have been hashed out already. ---

> [@Mr.Moto](#): > > Got it fine - but making points with bad data doesn’t sit well with me It wasn’t bad data. Washington had [del]no[/del] next to no elected experience before he was President. The whole point was that qualifications should include _more_ than elected experience. The fact that you keep trying to harp on this same point under the misapprehension that you’re somehow contradicting me only makes it appear like you don’t understand my point at all. ---

The disturbing thing here is that Dio doesn’t… know… what the House of Burgesses is, and how its dissolution led directly to the American Revolution. (Look up the Raleigh Tavern some time.) Nor does he know it was the first representative government in what became the USA. (The House of Assembly, the senior house, was held in Bermuda, which was part of Virginia Colony at one point.) Nor does he know that Jefferson and Patrick Henry were members, it being more or less the highest self-government in the state. It’s really hard to overstate the importance of that body for the creation of the Revolution. Briefly, between 1759 and 1774, he did nothing _but_ politics. In the crucible that essentially created the backbone of the United States. Well enough that the other colonists chose _him_ as a delegate to the Continental Congress. Right up there with General Lee’s grandfather and Patrick Henry. ---
