About Us
Political Bitches:
Political Bitches was created as an outlet for two college students (Elysa Montfort and Laura Thompson) to vent their outrages and share their laughter and tears at the state of the union. And what better time than the 2008 elections? Come bitch with us! (bepolitical@gmail.com)
Laura Thompson:
Laura is made of win and Jesus. A 19 year-old college freshman majoring in Communication and Spanish, Laura loves travel, podcasting, mocking Mitt Romney, and photographing the elusive Ann Coulter.
Elysa Montfort:
Elysa is a 21 year-old college junior majoring in Political Science and minoring in History. She enjoys political theory, activism, Led Zeppelin, Beethoven, and treating Fox News like the curiously degenerate gossip tabloid it so clearly is.

Great stuff! Even if I don’t necessarily agree with everything you say in the blogs, it opens up my mind to other ideas. I really think you should do a podcast also. I know I’d subscribe, if that means anything?

Jesus christ. These new fashioned young people are a plauge upon our country, and deserve nothing better then an exportation to some god forsaken country like Japan, who we should have nuked to a pulp in the WW2. The foul oaths uttered from their mouth will earn them a place next to such devils such as this “Obama” in the depths of Hell. Well, I’m off to go yell at some gay people and be the countries largest fuckover generation problem.
Nah, I’m just kidding. I love the site, and think it’d be cool to see some thoughts from both of you on some past “managment styles” of the goverment, like the American Indian massacre or the Japanese American concentration camps.

Hey guys
Interesting blog! I was just wondering if you could post some of the various sources (i.e. news magazines, websites, etc), which you glean your information from. Not to impune your blogs- because I generally agree with most of the stuff you’re saying- but it would be interesting to read where you get your information from, so as to better understand the topics. It might be cool if you guys maybe posed like 2-3 sites, where you got your info from, just so the readers can read exactly what you were reading/watching as well. It would be an intersting way to really open up the discussions.
Thanks and good luck on your blog!
Best,
Lisa

Lisa,
Usually we provide links/screen caps for reference when there’s outside information not being fully referenced in a post, but we will certainly be happy to throw some links at the end of our posts for you to read at your leisure.
Thanks for the idea!

I heard about this blog from Mugglecast. I LOVE you guys! Thank you for sharing your thoughts - this blog makes me laugh and makes me think. Someone suggested that you add your sources to your posts, or show a few websites that you get your news from. I second that!
You guys are awesome and very inspiring!

I was listening to MuggleCast, decided I would check your site out. To put it simply, it’s pretty amazing. I found your comments very entertaining and find myself agreeing with about 95 percent of it.
“and treating Fox News like the curiously degenerate gossip tabloid it so clearly is.”
When I read that I laughed out loud, so true.
Keep up the good work, and as well as some others I agree that a podcast would be amazing!

Like pretty much everyone else, I found out about this site through MuggleCast, and I’m glad I did. I agree with almost 100% of what you say. And, I too agree that a podcast would be great.

Oh, and Laura–I wish I could give you a high five for majoring in Spanish, because Spanish is honestly one of the best languages ever. [/spanish dork]

Your website is a breath of fresh air! As voters in the next election it’s important we all get the information we need, and this is such a perfect and HILARIOUS way to do it! Turns out announcing this on MuggleCast was a great idea
Keep up the great work!

I died laughing at the Ann Coulter photo. And as such I am writing to tell you how great your blog is from the 6th corner of hell were I’m told the elusive Ann Coulter will be waiting tables shortly. Keep up the amazing work!
