Wellll, sort of. Thing about Coulter and Limbaugh is, they’re clever and savvy. I find them pretty despicable, but I won’t deny their competence at their job.

Yelton? He WISHES he were Coulter, and indeed had a public-access TV show for awhile modeled after his conservative heroes (I only ever saw one episode: it featured a ficus or something to which he had taped a bunch of dollar bills, and he called it the “money tree” that government thought existed, and tried to milk that joke for half an hour). He’s got the outrageous and contemptible politics and the willingness to say obnoxiously offensive things.

But he lacks the charisma or the quick-wittedness to make it work as entertainment, and moreover seems completely unaware of his lack.

Thus his willingness to go on the Daily Show.

I’m sure the Republicans would agree to a vote as long as it’s a fair vote, meaning a vote at a county fair in the rural south.

Except unlike the first interview where he quoted others using the “n-word”, in this interview he actually refers to people as "n-word"s. That would seem to me to be quite a bit worse, if we’re keeping track.
