Conservative commentator Ann Coulter expressed confusion over the hype on royalty during an “Insider” interview that appeared online Thursday, the day before what would have been Princess Diana’s 50th birthday.
Coulter, author of the new book “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America,” told “The Insider” co-host Kevin Frazier that she was baffled by Newsweek’s latest cover story about the late Princess Diana. (Newsweek photoshops Kate Middleton, late Princess Diana together on magazine cover)
“I find it a little baffling when Americans get so gaga-eyed over a princess,” Coulter told Frazier. “Particularly Lady Di, who was just this anorexic, bulimic narcissist.”

Actually, the video is consistent with everything that was said about Ann’s comments.
Do you see no irony whatsoever in Ann Coulter (of all people) calling another woman an “anorexic, bulimic narcissist? lol
The irony is beyond belief.
A classier way for her to describe Diana would be: “rejected, self absorbed, lonely even among an unnaturally adoring “public”, who married a royal twit who never loved her, but who is now long dead and strange that the press is reviving her image”— and then maybe “makes me wonder if Dodi Fayed is behind the revival— since everything in British media is for a quick hit of popularity”.
Anne likes to punch the brutal truth out— Diana had several real psychological problems having nothing to do with marrying into the royal family- there is a better way to say it than she did.
Di is none of those people. There is no moral equivalence to speaking ill of Hitler and saying what Ann Coulter did.
But if you think what AC said was cool, we’ll agree to disagree.
To me, she is one of the nastiest-tongued bitches around, and other commentators get a lot farther in making converts to conservatism than that sharp-tongued hag.
This is a totally unnecessary, unkind, and gratuitous comment. The only reason for it is to gain attention. Let Princess Diana RIP and focus on obama, Pelosi, Reid, obamacare, etc.
She’s telling the truth and when anyone, even a dead anyone is constantly held up as a paragon of virtue and goodness then they are opened up to criticism. The Kennedys and their mythology are an american example.
She was all of those things and played on her popularity and the subsequent sympathy as if she were a saint. Her fans continue to propagate the mythology.
Who cares? There are more pressing matters in this country than someone’s comments about a dead British princess.
“Princess Diana was a perfectly nice girl, who became a princess and a mother who was mortally injured emotionally by her marriage, and died desperately concious. Diana’s memory deserves better.”
Princess Di was an emotional mess long before she married Prince Charles. She was a narcissistic, bulimic, and nasty mess. She tossed her pregnant self down a flight of stairs with Charles at the base of those stairs as one of her attention-getting performances, thus endangering her unborn child. She was what is known in shrink terms as a delicate cutter, people who make small slices up and down their arms, as a part of her psychopathology. When she had had it w/Prince Charles, she went about trying to destroy the royal family with a fine stiletto. This woman was a mess, Ann knows it, and anyone who knows anything about Princess Di knows that she wasn’t screwed on tight. So, live in your little lovely Princess Di moment; the best thing that has happened to the Royal Family is Princess Di not being a part of it. She did one really good thing, she bore the future king and the spare, and they turned out well. Di did a good job when they were young; Charles did an equally good job after Di passed away. Don’t martyr Di, she isn’t one. And she joined the fast living high society crowd upon her divorce, ended up with Dodi, and then ended up dead. A tragic tale of mistakes made.

Obviously you care. You took the time to click on the article and comment.
And I agree with you completely that Ann Coulter’s opinions are largely irrelevant, and are getting moreso each day.
That's what I love about her! She reminds me of my last girlfriend!
LOL, as someone else called her on this thread “Every man’s ex-wife.”
Very fitting.
Ann defines svelte to me, and I have read that she has a healthy appetite.
She is confident and comfortable in her own skin, but I don't see an iota of narcissism in her demeanor (as compared to John Edwards, for example).
Actually Diana was bulimic, was a narcissist, so it’s not like she’s not telling the truth. Diana was also someone who lied on a frequent basis and ended up nearly destroying her husband’s family. Diana was no stranger to the royal game (having grown up around the Queen and actually referring ot her as “Aunt Lilibet”) so Diana knew the drill and I am sure that if Charles had not had a title, she would have never looked twice at him.
That needed to be said.
>>Actually Diana was bulimic...<<
So now illness is a character flaw, and something to attack her for, after her death? Interesting.
Sorry, there is such a thing as decency, and Ann showed none.
Di was “anorexic” and “bulemic” and that is a fair line of attack?
Reagan had Alzheimer’s, and the left used that as an attack.
Somewhere, class and dignity has to enter the picture.
Out of all that mess, it’s telling that after the divorce, Diana never got her life together and sorted things out, while the RF, after the shock and chaos, ended up actually returning to normalcy and routine. Diana still made one mistake after another and she never did figure out that her lifestyle was not healthy for her.
I obviously DO NOT care about Di or about the controversy surrounding Coulter’s statements other than Coulter said nothing untrue and that people are wasting a lot of bandwidth and time on comments about a pimple on the ass of time persons and events.
Sounds like you need a WAAAAHmbulance.
lol
“Actually, I agree with Ann on this. I’ve always found Diana worship to be distasteful.”
Me too. When she died my first husband was in the hospital dying of a rare form of cancer. He had just turned 30yrs old. Every T.V. in every empty room up and down that hall was tuned to the circus covering her death and funeral. It was a fairly quiet hall and that sh!t echoed all over the place. I got so sick of it, I asked the nurses if they could turn those t.v.s off. The answer was “We have them on so we can watch the funeral while we make our rounds.” Yes, I said, “I understand that, but it is remarkably offensive to hear a bunch of people worshiping a dead princess who died because she and her boyfriend didn’t want their pictures taken. Our loved ones here are dying also and it isn’t because they are so rich and famous that people want their picture. Show a little respect for the patients and families who are here, please.” Within minutes every one of those televisions were silent. And the families of a few other patients thanked me.
I could not stand the vacuous, pointless Princess Diana and her death meant nothing to me. However, I do think Ann is going to catch a whole lotta hell for that remark.
>>However, I do think Ann is going to catch a whole lotta hell for that remark<<
Which is EXACTLY why she made the hateful remark. To draw attention to herself.
Bulimia isn’t an illness, it is a dysfunctional manifestation of an inner mental disorder; there was something wrong with her in the first place and anything otehr than marriage to the RF could have triggered it. It could have been triggered by marriage to another man, or having to work at a regular job, or she could have been sick because of an end of a friendship. Anything could have triggered the bulimia.
I’ve been around severely dysfunctional people a huge part of my life (family issues) and I can tell you from experience, that it doens’t matter what you do, sometimes you will set off some inner demon in someone’s head without realizing it. It’s nerve wracking and for the sake of your sanity, you have to pretty much cut them out or they will end up destroying your life. You can bend/twist/turn yourself into a variety of different pastry, but something will set them off; you have ot break away or you get destroyed along with them.
Diana was on her merry way toward dsefl destruction, no matter how you look at it. Hanging around the people she was, it was only a matter of time until something happened.
