Ann Coulter's anti-liberal/anti-logic/anti-common decency stance has made her one of America's most polarizing public figures (I imagine you can tell where I land on this issue). But sometimes, she crosses even the most basic boundaries of taste.

In this video clip from CNBC's The Big Idea... Well. First, she dreams of a world where the Democratic party looks like Joseph Lieberman -- you know, a second Republican party. Then, she cites an episode of Seinfeld to make a sweeping generalization about mixed-race couples in New York. Then, she tells host and practicing Jew Donny Deutsch that America would be a better place without any Jews. Because in order for America to be perfect, Jews have to be perfected. Which means they have to become Christians. Because Christianity offers a "fast track to Heaven." Because Christians are, in actuality, "perfected Jews."

Seriously.

A friend of mine got fired from her job a few weeks ago, and that night we tried to puzzle out why she was let go. After all, she was smart, responsible, punctual, and pleasant -- what could have inspired her boss's displeasure? We tried and tried to figure it out, but eventually just gave up. "Bitch be crazy," we muttered to ourselves. "Bitch be crazy."

Because sometimes, that's all you can say.

"I told my party's leaders that it is now our duty to put the elections behind us and work together with the Democrats and independents on the great issues facing this country." -- President George W. Bush, the day after the Republican party got wiped out in the 2006 midterm elections.

Did anyone ever really believe that even after losing both the House and the Senate, Dubya was going to swallow his pride and engage in a little domestic diplomacy with his Democratic colleagues? Yeah, didn't think so. And now the proof is in the pudding. Yesterday, it was reported that the Prez broke the all-time low for getting his legislation passed in the House of Representatives.

The stats are comical -- an 86% percent failure rate in the House as a whole, and a 94% failure rate with Democrats. To put this in perspective: when Bill Clinton was on the verge of impeachment, he still beat Bush by 12%. And, yes, Bush's numbers are the lowest ever recorded.

So, in honor of Dubya's silky smooth political skills and ingenius strategizing, we reach across the aisle to present you with the following mash-up.

Senator John McCain's campaign for president could be going better; 2008 looms, but his fundraising and polling aren't nearly what they could be. So his decision to tackle questions about his age (he just turned 71 on August 29th, making him the oldest candidate in the race) is a solid one -- better to address those concerns head-on than let them fester in the minds of the voters.

But in this Concord, New Hampshire town hall meeting, when a high school student asks McCain if he's too old to handle the presidency, there are a few missteps in the senator's answer. First off, when he claims that he's "very active" and still "enjoys life," he kind of sounds like an commercial for Ensure. And when he calls the young man a "little jerk," he sounds like Old Man Withers, telling kids to get the frick off his lawn. John McCain, if you're going to insult the kids of today, maybe you should watch Superbad first. Learn how to cuss in their language.

When I was sent a link to "If Larry Craig Were Gay," I thought to myself, "Oh, my God, if they used 'If You Were Gay' from Avenue Q, that would be the most awesome thing ever. *sigh* But they won't, and I'll just be sad, and have the song stuck in my head all day, as if to mock me." I've never been so happy to be wrong. This video puts the embattled Idahoan senator and the zany puppet musical together in a way that actually exceeds anything I could have imagined.

For those who have been living under a rock: After pleading guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct in an airport men's room -- that conduct being trying to get friendly with the undercover cop in the next stall -- staunchly anti-gay-rights Senator Larry Craig has been running around like a big closeted gay chicken with its big gay head cut off, saying, "I'm not gay, I'm not gay, I'm not gay, notgaynotgaynotgaynotgaynoooootgaaaaay."

Avenue Q is a show in which puppets sing songs like "It Sucks to Be Me" and "The Internet is for Porn." It also features a character, Nicky, who suspects his roommate Rod is gay. (And that's okay.)

The combined result is genius. And afterwards, you may be in the mood for another song from Avenue Q. It's called "Schadenfreude."
