The following video made the front page of Digg today, so You’ve probably seen it. I just thought I’d comment quickly on how it perfectly encapsulates the problem with Republican thinking.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, Ann Coulter says that if she could be anyone in history, she would be F.D.R. so that she could prevent the New Deal. Al Franken, who is also at whatever event this was filmed at, responds that he would be Hitler, so he could prevent the Holocaust.
As is usual, the Republican has a ridiculously self-centered and biased view of the world, which, in this case, is that the worst thing that could possibly have happened in history is the New Deal, resulting in some small portion of her tax dollars going to feed someone without a job (gasp). On the other hand, you have a liberal thinker who immediately wishes he could prevent one of the greatest (if not the greatest) tragedies in human history.
In short, Ann Coulter is a stupid bitch, Al Franken is not.

The narrow scope of the Republican mind
