Wow ECB, your bitterness just festers as you nurse it on your feminist sensitivities.

You’ve been waiting for a long time to have the opportunity to make this post haven’t you?

Silly, silly girl.

@3, shouldn't ECB be called a "silly boy" by the logic of this story and its thread?

and if anyone needs to be mocked and have their masculinity called into question, it's football players.

I have to agree with Erica. If calling some hetero jocks "faggots" is demeaning to gays, then why is calling them feminine slurs any lest disrespectful to women. If next year's team is so bad why not just call them the "Shithawks"? I mean, everyone shits.

Apples and oranges. If Dan had called Mikey Holmgren a f@ggot, different story.

That's why I stick to "Seahags." It is only insulting to Alice the Goon.

Let it be known that I support building strip clubs alongside a brand-new viaduct. And allowing dogs in them.

Dan, she did not call Edwards the faggot. Relisten to the conversation as a journalist. You will find it is not there. And you need to get the comment in context with the I. Washington situation.

Ever heard of Cicero's favorite rhetorical device, praeterition? Maybe you should.

praeterition 1. The act of passing, or going past; the state of being past. 2. A rhetorical device in which the speaker emphasizes something by omitting it.

Coulter used a praeterition in that statement. She said it by not directly saying it.

I was going to leave a comment about Baffles, but it turns out that calling someone an ignorant jackass is rude, so... *shrug*

Josh needs to go into rehab.

And dw, I agreed with what all of you were saying after I listened to it for several times till I caught what she was referring to.

The reference to I. Washington going to rehab for using the word "faggot" was what she was referring to.

I mean that "joke" was way over my head, too, but that is to be expected for an "ignorant jackass". Oops, does that mean I have to go into rehab, too?

What are you talking about? I never called you an ignorant jackass. Re-read my comment. You will find it is not there.

You got me rolling Josh. Good one.

"Erica nailed me."

Just so long as she didn't peg you, Dan. That would make my head assplode.
