Is there nothing sacred anymore? Can't at least ONE media venue be safe from the swamp gas?

First, of course, in a long line of losers there was the Dixie Twits.

There have been the Penns, the Sarandons, and the ever-exciting Streisands to keep me up at night WAITING to hear they finally boarded a plane with a one-way ticket to Venezuela.

There has been every manner and form within the so-called entertainment world to step forward, rattle their little bully-pulpits to throngs of half-empty heads, and rail against SOMETHING, ANYTHING, in the name of "protest", "activism", or "progressivism". I have adapted.

THIS, however goes too far - and that it is a Texan causes my hair to spontaneously combust.

More below the fold...

That people like Bill Maher would make headlines suggesting Vice President Cheney's death would save lives is not surprising. That Ann Coulter would make headlines making a fool of herself with her own "shock-jock-esque" antics is also not surprising.

That it would be a headline that Coulter's antics got more play than Maher's is also standard fare. The last straw for me, however, is when Sportscasters decide to chime in. Is there no decency left? And just why in Sam Hill would a Texas Sports Show Host be piping off that Maher might have a point?

Well, he is actually a "former" sports show host, and apparently has found his new calling.

NOW he's doing local San Antonio talk radio, and apparently this allows his Blue Dog democrat ways to shine. A flavor of his opinion on the HPV vaccine Mr. Brylcream Perry plans to force on us-both to receive AND to pay for with no opportunity to express an opinion on the matter:

Over the last week, controversy has raged over Governor Perry’s request that all 6’Th grade girls should have access to a vaccine that could very well save their lives. A vaccine to protect women from most types of Cervical Cancer. I guarantee this, if this fight was about boys and the possible avoidance of Testicular Cancer. There would be no debate, because “boys will be boys”. The deal would already be done. All 6'TH grade boys would be in line already, even if they didn't know why.

STOPPING A FORM CANCER IN WOMEN BEFORE IT STARTS! Yes HPV is an STD. Yes the word SEX is involved. Yes a big Pharmaceutical Company really wants us to use their product, Gardasil as the possible cure. As my brother put so eloquently put it, "name a candidate for State or National office that hasn’t received money from Pharmaceutical Companies". They are big business. That’s what all big businesses do. This time, and I know it’s rare, Merck is right. They have even announced they will stop their lobbying efforts to use their Gardasil vaccine, because their involvement as the manufacturer evidently clouds the minds of the already thick headed. Isn’t it time we shut the Conservatives up. How many prayers and actions do they have to say and do against us before we shut them up? You don’t want to give your child access to the HPV vaccine, fine. You put a bullet in the gun that is cancer and hope it doesn’t “accidentally” fire off in ten years. How dare they fight to deny our children access to a possible life saving preemptive strike? Their argument about cost is as foolish as their belief that all kids will just say “no” to all the bad things in the world. I think we should all look to ex-convict G. Gordon Liddy for guidance. He called the vaccine a “slut shot”.

That should sum things up for us normal people.

How much is one woman’s life worth?

God knows we put enough money into killing people, and we should.

The very least we can do is sink a few dollars into saving lives.

I feel better now. This helps me understand why this guy is quoted in a Fox News piece moderately agreeing that Maher has a point while suggesting Coulter is "intellectual chewing gum ... a lady in a dress who likes to spit out things that cause a little bit of unrest, and she'll go away for a while. She'll crawl back in her hole and we'll hear from her in about six months."

It is pure coincidence that Fox quotes this man of San Antonio obscurity AND that his radio station is WOAI (owned by Fox). It is completely unrelated that his former life in the sports show business was in the Fox Sports Radio Network. Don't be paranoid, silly.

Enjoy his comments on Maher:

"Unfortunately some of that comment is true."

"If Dick Cheney wasn't in office today, I don't think there'd be as many people dead today. Apart from that, we have to realize that too many people think they have a right to say whatever they want. But they forget that there's a privilege that goes along with that right. Bill Maher likes to stretch that envelope. He likes to see how far he can go. This time he went too far," he said.

I defy anyone getting away with that were it to be said by a Republican about a Democrat.

This man, Thompson, makes me sick. Maher already did. Thompson gives "recovering" (or former) sports casters a bad name.

He gives Texans a bad name.
