Hey, Saturday Night Live! I have a funny comedy sketch idea for you! What if Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Bill Richardson and other Democrats went to a Halloween costume party? And their choice of Halloween costume directly related to their Presidential campaigns! Funny, right? Right?

Damn, you guys beat me to it. With some timely jokes about Bill Clinton's sexual proclivities, even! But I must say that I'm impressed, because you also worked in Barack Obama, wearing his Sexy Barack Obama costume. Well-played, SNL. Well-played.

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.

Everyone has their own way of dealing with unpleasant facts about the world. Some of us confront them head-on. Some of us snark about them on the Internet while doing nothing substantive to fix the problem. Some of us drink heavily. (Some of us do two out of three.) But there aren't a lot of adults who admit to the "nah nah nah I don't know what you're talking about" approach. It's fun to know that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of them.

During the Iranian president's controversial Q&A at Columbia University, he was asked point-blank about the treatment of homosexuals in his country. And apparently, it's fine -- because there are no homosexuals in Iran. Cue the laughter of the student body. But he's not joking.

I suppose what he actually means to say is that the openly gay lifestyle is completely non-existent in Iran, which is true. This is because persecution is rampant and public hangings of the openly homosexual are not unheard-of, given that all penetrative sexual acts between men are punishable by death. Given what that says about the state of human rights there, maybe I'll take a cue from Mahmoud, and try avoidance for a little while.

Some might want to tell Rudy Giuliani that the 2000 election for the New York Senate is over, and that Hillary Clinton won. How else are we to explain this bizarre campaign ad attacking her? After starting out by accusing Clinton of flip-flopping on her the Iraq War, the spot goes to accuse Clinton of standing "silently by when MoveOn.org ran [a] venomous ad in The New York Times" about General David Petraeus? Earth to Rudy: Hillary hasn't won the nomination yet, and she never publicly supported MoveOn's ad.

Could it have been that Rudy's real fight wasn't really with Hillary, but with MoveOn, the liberal nonprofit group which has been relentless in its criticism of the Bush Administration and the Republican party? (The day before, Giuliani went after the New York Times for giving MoveOn preferential ad placement.) If it wasn't then, it certainly is now. Today, MoveOn released another ad that directly targets Rudy, accusing him of blowing off the opportunity to contribute to the Iraq Study Group in order to stuff his pockets with public speaking fees. Its tagline: "Rudy Giuliani. A betrayal of trust."

How will Rudy -- who has never shied away from taking off the gloves for a good scrap -- respond? We have a feeling that answer will come sooner rather than later.
