Kids fear Ann Coulter (Liberal commie Rat Humor with a barf alert)

Kids fear Ann Coulter

"Mommy, make the scary lady go away." Those are the tearful words of Kaylee Brodkin, 7, of Gary, Ind., who for the last five days has been awakened in the middle of the night by terrifying nightmares - nightmares featuring television pundit/author Ann Coulter.

With the ubiquitous Coulter currently on a national book tour, little Kaylee's sad story is far from an isolated occurrence.

"More and more these days, we are seeing small children who have been traumatized by Ann Coulter," said Dr. Harmon Densmore, chief clinical psychologist at the Chartwell Children's Institute based at the University of Minnesota.

While Densmore urges parents to limit their children's exposure to the banshee-like pundit, whose intemperate polemics flatten everyone and everything in their path, he acknowledges that keeping children away from Coulter entirely may be next to impossible.

Little Kaylee, who is now working with a counselor to conquer her fear, attends role-playing therapy sessions twice a week in which she uses a dragon puppet to bite the head off an Ann Coulter puppet.

"I'd like to hug Kaylee and tell her that Ann Coulter doesn't exist, but you can't lie to your kids," said Kaylee's mother, Diane Brodkin, 38. "Children today have to deal with a lot of scary things, and Ann Coulter, unfortunately, is one of them."

Although you could say that this is a jab at Ann Coulter, I think he's poking fun at the liberal reaction to her.

I don't know what little Kaylee Brodkin has to drink before going to sleep (Apple Juice? Ovaltine?? A Dry Martini???) but I would love to do the same, if it will help me dream of Ann.

Teaching kids violence like this? That type of activity should get them suspended/expelled from school if they repeated that at play tiime!

[Slyfox]

I tend to agree.

Or maybe Kaylee is scared because her mom is a slut who sleeps around alot.

[Mears]

Very funny and you are right, it's certainly a jab at the libs.

[Kozak]

You want scary and nightmare inducing trauma?

What a pitiful attempt at humor.

"...I think he's poking fun at the liberal reaction to her."

As I said in my #9, 'This is obviously a send-up of uber-sensitive liberalism".

The Libs must be in load and aim mode....just read an article from Salon ( on Lucianne) about Ann's book in which the author (Joe Conason for Salon) couldn't understand why she wrote her book (Slander) and now used Joe McCarthy as a show of what creeping socialism has done to this country in (Treason) The case in point are the schools for one, and how about pecking away at the Constitution for seconds. Ann as usual, is right on the money. Did anyone see her on Hardball the other night....wouldn't let her talk...never saw anything like it. I believe Ann has hit a liberal nerve.

None of my three daughters react like that toward Ann Coulter, but they huddle around me when the 2 carton-a-day voice of Susan Estrich comes out of the TV, without fail!
