	And then there is Ann Coulter. The Republicans don't get to 
complain about Michael Moore, or Kos, when they will cuddle up to 
Coulter, who is more dishonest, less principled, and so partisan she 
has left sanity behind long ago.
	I'm happy to admit that when I say Moore is less dishonest 
and more principled than Coulter, its damning with faint praise (and 
Moore is still damned), but damn that woman is a vile evil skank.
	I'll admit I'm just picking one example because as a 
foreigner I'm not that familiar with your whole range of pundits, but 
she makes the point pretty well.
	Republicans complaining about Democrats looks frankly just 
nuts from here. Your whole system is locked in an ugly partisan 
confrontation.
	And the worst of it is, that given the basic rules of the US 
political system, these people probably are doing the right thing to 
achieve their goals, just at the cost of a functional political 
process.

	Sadly, all too often in US politics it isn't, its about how 
many of the fringes you can pull into battle.
