When Trash (Tammy Bruce) Trashes Class
Talk show loudmouth Tammy Bruce is a near textbook case of trash trashing class. The class in this case being the Obamas. In a well calculated outburst she branded them trash in the White House.
But I can't say I'm really surprised. Bruce made her rep as a professional O.J. Simpson trial baiter/hater. The times that I'd bump heads with her on various talk shows I could always count on one loose lipped, acid tongued long fast talking, shrill, manic harangue after another from her. Invariably, the harangue was about and against black men.
Bruce continued her rants on her late night local Los Angeles talk radio show. That didn't last. She got the ax and mercifully disappeared from the radio dial for a while. But in hate talk radio land, Bruce's shrill acid race and liberal baiting venom is at a premium. So it wasn't long before she submerged again. But even then she remained a mostly forgotten, local yokel hack, a sort of poor woman's Ann Coulter. But Bruce burned the midnight oil racking her brain(?) trying to figure out how to change that. She figured if Ann can hype and hustle and parlay her airwave poison into notoriety, then why not me. And of course what better way to do that than by blurting out an outrageous, over the top, ear screeching whack at the Obama's; especially Michelle Obama.
She took her cue from Queen Ann on that. A couple of months back the Queen displayed her special genius again with a well-leaked drib from her liberal bash book Guilty about Michelle. Her knock was not about Michelle's education, politics, or her marriage to the president. No, she skewered Michelle's dress, jewelry, hair, and her alleged poor woman's imitation of Jackie O. Unlike her ritual liberal hit pieces, Coulter knew that a Michelle hector would get the tongues furiously wagging.
Queen Ann banked that there were just enough literary voyeurs, masochists, and attention deficit readers to get the book flying off the shelves. Thankfully, there weren't. The Queen's books have taken a much deserved dive since then. The lesson, though, wasn't lost on Bruce. But even by the low life standards of Queen Ann and her fellow right wing talk yakkers, Bruce was off the map with this loony blather about the Obamas. But that's what happens when trash trashes class. And like trash, let's hope it gets dumped in the airwaves garbage pile, this time for good.

People who are capable do...., people who can't do a single damn thing, trash everyone else who can to make themselves feel better. We are all responsible for what we put out into the universe.
Ummmm.....
Bingo!
Why would anyone bother with watching a TV show or talking head or a radio program if the TV or radio show if they were offended by the show? Maybe if you were in a car pool & the driver had lousy taste you could be stuck with listening an obnoxious, right wingnut during the drive. But transistor radios are very cheap. Use a transistor radio & earphone to avoid listening to something you don't like.
I'm old, divorced & live by myself. I don't listen to or watch something which offends or bores me. Do people who live together really feel that they must tolerate a mates bad talste when the mate listens to right wingnuts? If that is love, who needs it?
People are strange. Why get excited about this obnoxious, nonentity? Let her blither to her ditto head audience & ignore her.
In another country, many years ago, good citizens turned a blind eye and ear to the hate and demagoguery that spewed over the media, ensnaring the ignorant and angry. One day, the good citizens awoke to find their country was ruled by thugs, freedom was gone, and soon the thugs were coming for them. Many of these formerly apathetic good citizens were rounded up, put on trains, and taken to a camp where they had a nice shower. Good citizens who lived near the camp still chose not to see, hear, or smell the truth and did nothing, until their country was destroyed. Then they were heard to say, "We never knew!"
Know thine enemy.
After reading about the horrid comments, I listened to the show on my way home last night. What a hateful, bitter woman that Tammy is. No moral compass, no ethics, just hunger for fame. Sad.
I can't understand why people can just say anything without something to substantiate it. Not only is Michelle well educated and married to an extraordinary U.S. President but her brother has excelled and has a great job too. It's no fluke that their parents have done something special twice. The rich and affluent must be crapping in their pants knowing all Americans can achieve a special class too.
The very idea that people can think they are privileged enough to talk this garbage says much about class or lack of it.
It's difficult to take people like Tammy Bruce--whoever she is, seriously. To her I would say, just keep talking and intelligent republicans will keep voting for democrats.
IGNORANCE is just what it is IGNORANCE this woung woman has the lion share!
Truly sad commentary to speak with so much of it
Which radio station is she on? I would like the call numbers to find out who their advertisers are so that they can be pointed out -- we need to get people like her and her ilk off the air. I am a liberal libertarian and sometimes the thought of the Fairness Doctrine sounds goods...li
I'd bet that Michelle Obama is classier and much more intelligent than Jackie O. Jackie O was a product of priviledge. Something of a stepford wife. On the other hand, Michelle Obama was a product of a strong desire to excel and achieve greatness. No disrespect to the former 1st lady, but Jackie O couldn't hold Michelle's coach purse.
Holla...
Great. The less attention the acid spewers get, the faster they'll go away.
I don't even want to mention the names because it'll count as another hit.
Michele Obama is one of the classiest women I've ever seen. She literally has it all, brains, looks and more importantly, common sense. She should rightfully be a role model for young women all across America. It is no small wonder why a hack would be jealous of her.
