Boy, Does Ann Coulter Tick Me Off
Andrew Sullivan points me to
Ann Coulter's post-election wrap-up.
Boy, does Ann Coulter tick me off.
It's all there: the misrepresentation, the distortion, the vicious character attacks, the outright lies.
She writes:
Now that they've won their elections and don't have to deal with the hicks anymore, Tester can cut lose [sic] the infernal buzz cut, Casey can start taking "Emily's List" money, and Webb can go back to writing more incestuously homoerotic fiction ... and just in time for Christmas!
But according to the media, this week's election results are a mandate for pulling out of Iraq (except in Connecticut where pro-war Joe Lieberman walloped anti-war "Ned the Red" Lamont).
Nice. So Jon Tester, a farmer and butcher from Big Sandy, Montana—current population, 703— suddenly hates "hicks." Bob Casey, Jr., who's been anti-abortion forever, is suddenly a hypocrite. And Jim Webb, a former Marine, has a penchant for "incestuously homoerotic fiction," with all that implies. And Ned Lamont? Well, he's "Ned the Red," although I've never seen anyone but Coulter call him that, because, well, who else but Coulter, who wrote a book apologizing for Joe McCarthy, would red-bait in 2006?
Coulter concludes:
The Democrats certainly have their work cut out for them. They have only two years to release as many terrorists as possible and lock up as many Republicans as they can. Republicans better get that body armor for the troops the Democrats are always carping about — and fast. The troops are going to need it for their backs.
I know, I know—I shouldn't take this stuff seriously. But she really is vile. The only good thing to say about her is that she has peaked and is now sliding into irrelevance...
