Lethally blonde

Ann Coulter has made a career out of saying the unthinkable. Last week the bestselling American author caused outrage when she described the widows of 9/11 as 'witches' who revelled in their husbands' deaths. Mixing soundbites with short skirts, this former lawyer has become the most extreme - and popular - polemicist in America. How did that happen?

Her motto might as well be: you can never be too rich, too thin, too blond, too tall, or too rude. She has a mane of expensively blond hair, the crane-limbed body type of a pterodactyl, and a smile that seems entirely un-Machiavellian.

A (UK) Guardian type meets Ann !

to bad we can't get a load of her in old Zark's leopard print nightie.....:-)

Ann got a direct hit on the lefties with her two 500 pounders and they're all trying to get off the gurney and run away. LOL! Go Ann!

[A CA Guy]

Notice they said Ann said widows of 9-11, not particular ones that she mentions in her book.

They lumped them all in, didn't say she was speaking about those that were political activists looking for immunity from criticism.

[tomzz]

Ann and Zark can't be the same size.

[Cricket24]

Ah...isn't that the truth.
I love her. The one thing that I am certain is that she won't back down. It's wonderful to have conservative with a backbone even if it is too thin!! LOL

[Nightrider]

hey, your right...what the hell size was that thing anyway???
well.....there wuz also some see thru panties...but i digress...:-)

[1066AD]

Yes, noticed that too.

[DTogo]

Excellent analogy!

[goldstategop]

Ann is a satirist. She uses extreme statements to wonderful effect. Its meant to be funny and the punch line - the joke is lost on liberals who take everything seriously. They miss the secret of Ann's popularity... she has fun with them.

[jwalburg]

Go get em, Ann!

[Robwin]

Interesting that the critics can only focus in on one aspect of her work and ignore her major thesis. Love ya, Ann. You go girl.

That said:The rules! The rules!

. . .Sean Penn has an Ann Coulter action figure on his desk - which he uses to put out his cigarettes. Press a button and the doll speaks: 'Why not go to war for oil? We need oil. What do Hollywood celebrities imagine fuels their private jets? How do they think their cocaine is delivered to them?'

Even the doll has more intellectual wherewithal than he, obviously.

"They miss the secret of Ann's popularity... she has fun with them."

Anne Coulter equals playful kitty, leftists equal scurrying mice?

[ImpBill]

Must have a picture on a Coulter thread. And she is hot in more ways than one.

Giggle all the way to the bank Ann!

From the article:

Quotable Coulter

On 9/11

'If Chicago had been hit, I assure you New Yorkers would not have cared. New Yorkers would have been like, "It's tough for them, now let's go back to our Calvin Klein fashion shows. "'

On Muslims

'The question is not, 'Are all Muslims terrorists?' The question is, 'Are all terrorists Muslims?' The answer is yes .'

On her Muslim ex-boyfriend

'The relationship was complicated by his interest in committing jihad. I took away his box cutters. '

To a Vietnam veteran

'People like you caused us to lose the war.'

On Princess Diana

'Her children knew she was sleeping with all these men. That just seems the definition of "not a good mother".'

On women

'America would be a much better country if women did not vote.'

On the French

'A bunch of faggots.'

On her critics

'The more vicious they are, the happier I am.' These comments notwithstanding (except for the one wrt a Vietnam Vet which I don't believe she ever said) - THIS ARTICLE IS A HIT PIECE!!!!

It would be great if Rush would have her on for a half hour to let her 'splain herself, and pour it on some more. I saw where John Casich (sp?) had her on tonight, but could not watch it. I hope he played it straight and didn't go all wobbly like Hugh Hewitt and other self-styled conservatives who just want to be loved (et tu Hugh?).

[TalBlack]

They always refer to Ann as attacking "the widows of 9/11", but that isn't the case. Ann took a vicious slap at FOUR of the widows of 9/11.

A lot of people lost immediate family in the 9/11 attack but there is a reason that only four of them have politicized their loved ones deaths--and that is that doing so is instinctively repugnant.

[PhillyRepublican]

Notice how this guy pointed out that Ann's father was a "WASP" lawyer? Any shred of credibility he was attempting to gain ended right there!!
