Ten pithy quotes from Tammy Bruce. Yeah, pithy’s a good word.

We’ve said it before here at IHateTheMedia.com, but it’s worth saying again. We love Tammy Bruce.

She’s a radio talk show host, bestselling author, blogger, and contributor on Fox News. She’s also a bit of a paradox because she’s a gay, pro-choice, gun totin’, pro-death penalty, Tea Party conservative.

And best of all, she’s a convert. To conservatism, that is, not lesbianism.

Yeah, she used to be a liberal. We started listening to her radio show on KABC/Los Angeles way back in the early ‘90s when she was a liberal. So damn liberal, in fact, that she was president of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW. But damn it, she was also so damn smart and and so damn funny and and so damn entertaining that we forgave her those minor indiscretions.

Tammy served on Arnold Schwarzeneggar’s transition team after he was elected governor of California in 2003. We’ll also forgive her that indiscretion because many of us here in the former Golden State actually made the mistake of believing that Arnold was a principled conservative.

If you’ve never heard Tammy Radio, give it a listen. You’ll quickly understand why we love the damn woman.

But enough of this idle fiddle faddle. Here are ten pieces of wit and smart ass wisdom that make us love Tammy:

1. “Trials are no longer about freeing the innocent, punishing the guilty, and making restitution to the injured. They have devolved into a contest over who will win.”
2. “When the courts decide that murderers, rapists, and others who maliciously break our social contract deserve health care that most working Americans can’t afford, they are condemning good people to death.”
3. “Yes, we have the freedom to do what we please, but it only works because we don’t do everything we might please – we should exercise some degree of personal, and corporate, responsibility.”
4. “Manipulating pop culture is the Left Elite’s sure-fire way of forcing society to bend to their depraved view of themselves and this country.”
5. “For those whose goal it is to twist wrong into right, a good starting point is to convince young people that the vulgar is beautiful.”
6. “In my opinion any man who thinks simply having his penis removed, having breast implants, and taking hormones turns him into a woman needs to be in a psychiatrist’s office, not in a parade.”
7. “Believing a person deserves a defense is not the same as doing anything in your power to get him off scot-free.”
8. “The Left Elite only pretend to be concerned about what’s best for everyone else because it is the most effective way to manipulate you and your children into their abyss.”
9. “For the gay establishment, the death of right and wrong began when gaining civil rights ceased to be enough.”
10. “For women who turn to welfare, Big Brother becomes Husband.”
