My rebuttal to Ann Coulter's "government workers worse than the unemployed" comment [View All]

I think it's safe to say Ann Coulter smokes because stale cigarette smoke tastes better than that foot she keeps sticking in her mouth.

Today's foot-in-mouth exercise: Coulter pulled out the very old, very tired comment that government workers don't produce anything.

Well, since "producing things" is the only measure of a person's worth, at least according to the Republicans, the following people are ALSO worthless:

Ann's hairdresser...come to think of it, Ann's hairdresser really doesn't do much now--it doesn't take all that much talent to cut an inch off the ends of it the day after payday
The people who use their considerable makeup talents to make her presentable for the camera, and covering up the horns and tail is no mean feat
The nice lady at the shoe store who knows where the "special shoes" that hide the cloven hooves are kept
The bartender who keeps Ann supplied with white wine
The guy who fixes the brakes on her car
The guy who puts new tires on her car
The guy who pumps gas into her car
The woman who cleans her house
The man who cooks her meals
The engineers at television stations all over the country who manage to stifle their collective gag reflexes long enough to put Ann on the air

What do all these nice people have in common--well, besides having to put up with Ann Coulter on a regular basis? That's right! They're all SERVICE EMPLOYEES! And so are government employees! Two-thirds of the people in this country work in a service industry. Are Republicans actually saying two-thirds of the American people are worthless? (Don't answer that.)
