The tall leggy blonde’s favorite phrase is “douche bag” and she’s “all for” public floggings. She’s a good friend of Bill Maher; rumor has it they were once lovers.
Maher has called her a “witty, fun drinking companion.” During the debates they engaged in across the country in 2009, he said, “Unlike so many people in America, she was not afraid to be booed.”
She’s cornered the market on bombast and cojones. A self-described “pot stirrer,” she admits to being neither fair nor balanced on her views. I see her as a circus performer, a trained seal, incendiary, but nonetheless, an entertainer. I believe she epitomizes “hack,” and flamboyantly so.
Her latest cause was Herman Cain, maligned for alleged sexual harassment of former female employees.
During an interview with Sean Hannity, she said, “Liberals detest, detest, detest conservative blacks,” and. “. . . This is now the second time a conservative black has had outrageous and what appear to be false allegations leveled against him.” The first, she believed, was Clarence Thomas.
Hannity asked why Cain threatened liberals, she said, “Our [conservative] blacks are so much better than their blacks.” “To become a black Republican, you don’t just roll into it. You’re not going with the flow . . . and that’s why we have very impressive blacks in the Republican party.”
On John Walker Lindh: “We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors.” I thought if we stopped shopping, the terrorists won. Huh?
Another Coulterism: “God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’ ”
If God condones rape, I guess Ann can hack. She does it so well.

snowden, you got that right. She's laughing all the way to the bank.
fernsy, I hear you. I used to think she was insane, but now I think she is deliberately crafty and manipulative.
Charlie, Yes, isn't he? Thanks for stopping by.
Joan, I know, I was being facetious.
Amy, good idea! Thanks for stopping by.
It's like reaching down in the cess pool to throw the shit back at them but it gets your hands awful stinky in the process.
Lea, Indeed. A manipulative puppet.
...we shared a laugh.

Good one, spumey!
Chiller, nazi cabaret singer would suit her perfectly! What a visual!
Bee Gee, that might be true. My husband says she suffers from a disease called "Marfan syndrome" that results in those incredibly, excessively long limbs of hers. Check it out.
I agree, tr ig.

Good choice!
I wish she wrote with the humor in which she often speaks, but, alas, she does not.
It is important to recall that Mr. Thomas was accused of talking about porn and making a joke about something on a coke can. This is tacky, crass, and stupid. It is not leaving a woman in the water to fend for herself, nor is it groping her in the office or trying to get her to service you in your hotel room after she has been escorted there by a state official. (BTW, that is not harassment either. It is boorish and dumb, but not a "sleep with me or else" situation.)
I think Cain is a playboy. I suspect Thomas is a boorish flirt. I think Clinton is a serial adulterer and playboy. I also believe he had a long-term affair. Ditto for Cain. Ditto on the playboy for JFK, etc., etc., etc. I don't care.
And Coulter is right about her core point - which I think you don't get - and that is that "blacks", conservative ones, are attacked so viciously by the left because they have gone off the "liberal" track and that is not allowed.
And wasn't her remedy for peace in the Middle East to assassinate their leaders and convert the rest to Christianity?
i guess putting "bimbo" and "ann coulter" together in the same line is just what the open salon editors feel is the height of political humor, eh?
Coulter is the bitter lemon that you whipped into this nice frothy lemonade. Yum.
dirndl skirt, Thanks for stopping by.
Stim, I believe a large chunk of the conservative base divorced themselves from her after some of the outlandish statements she's come out with.
Roberto, Absolutely! Thanks for reading.
RT, great title, maybe you can ghost write it.
Unfortunately, she's laughing all the way to the bank.
I though that this was extremely shallow and my first thought was maybe your the one that is a skank. Eventually I actually heard Coulter talk and the first thought that went through my head was something like, "damn she really is a skank; Maher was right!"
Since then I've heard her more than I care to and can't see how or why anyone would take her seriously.
