The Coulter Cult...
2002-07-19
Right Wing News covers a Telegraph inteview with Ann Coulter titled "I love to pick fights with liberals." Nice picture — my wife sez her skirt's too short, the brazen hussy, and to wipe my chin.
Since I have no sense of humor, I avoid joining cults. But I confess I've always liked Ann Coulter, even though I kept confusing her with Barbara Olson — both of them bright, witty, and unwilling to suffer fools gladly. I came to like Coulter even more when she wrote about Barbara's death and ended up getting fired from National Review. I don't really think we should "convert them to Christianity" — though introducing some healthy schools of agnosticism would be a good idea — and I don't think she did, either. But I admired, and continue to admire, the authenticity of Coulter's anguish at the time. She felt the same thing I was feeling. She just happened to be the one who put it down on paper. I also admire and share the depth of her anger both at the people who brought the war to us, and those who support them, whether actively or passively. She's out there hollering at them, so that kinda-sorta makes her my spokesperson.

Ann Coulter, I salute you! And you have nice legs.

Mr Arafat, may I borrow one of those baby wipes? It's for my chin...

#4  She's also taken apart both Bill O'Reilly and Phil Donahue. I watched the O'Reilly episode - it wasn't pretty... Well, maybe it was.

#3  Yeah, I think it's just you too. If Slander got fact-checked by anyone besides the "There's No Liberal Bias" tin-foil hat crowd, I must have missed it. In the most famous episode, it's Coulter-1, Couric-0.

#1  Huh, I see her as an opportunistic media whore who's very obviously taking advantage of her looks and peddling knee-jerk, hateful, thoughtless attitudes -- and a book that needs stronger fact-checking -- by being intentionally irritating and confrontational on every show she's invited on. But maybe it's just me!
