Lethally Blonde (Ann Coulter Alert)
The Observer (UK) ^ | 6/11/2006 | Gaby Wood

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?

Look, she says, I'm just doing this for fun. I'd rather be a married stay-at-home mom, but until that happens, taunting liberals seems like a good way to fill up my day.

What a crock! Coulter's 45. The only way she could be a stay-at-home mom at her age is get married next week and have a kid the next day. And she knows that.

She loves throwing red meat, and she knows, because she's blonde and skinny, men who fantasize making love to a piranha will always come to her defense, no matter what she does.

Coulter made a choice a long time ago, she's acting on that choice, and would never have it any other way. She would die without the publicity and, now, without the money.

Lethally blonde, and possibly politically lethal as well.

Suggesting that the 4 husbands who died that day were about to bail on their wives and children is disgraceful, and then saying the widows should pose for Playboy...classless.

I already know I'll get hammered, but so what.

Ann's overall message is right on the nose, her delivery can at times be a turn-off.

'but when do they ever criticize Hillary's make-up or Madeleine Albright's hair?'

All you have to do is look at either of them, then look at most of the femi-nazis. They don't 'do' hair or make-up.

What do you expect from the Observer, which is VERY left-wing? Of course it's a hit piece.

I recall Ann writing in one of her books I think, but maybe it was in a column, that "liberals do not read books."

Oh yes she has tapped into a deep well here.


Good for her.

"Ann Coulter has made a career out of saying the unthinkable."

Nope! It's thinkable.

"Last week the bestselling American author caused outrage when she described the widows of 9/11 as 'witches' who revelled in their husbands' deaths."

Nope! Ann Coulter referred only to the JERSEY-FOUR widows.

"Mixing soundbites with short skirts, this former lawyer has become the most extreme - and popular - polemicist in America. How did that happen?"

By pulling no punches...not really "most extreme"...it's that Coulter does it extremely well...

...All the interviews I've read involve the interviewer (usually a liberal man) wanting to dislike her and coming away with some excuse for her behaviour, on the grounds that she is actually quite nice in person.

And it turns out to be true that she makes everything seem like a joke. She loves to argue, she smiles and laughs with every answer she gives.

She's like a puppy waiting to be thrown a ball.

Look, she says, I'm just doing this for fun...

Bingo!
That's our Ann -- reveling in the intellectual repartee --- where she is the undisputed MASTER!

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

Satire is hard to pull off in print. You have to be a good writer like Alexander Pope or Ann Coulter to pull it off. 'Mad Magazine' was satirical, but they had pictures to help them do it.

Way to large, since it was worn by a goat.

I really wanted to come to the memorial shoot for TexasCowboy but couldn't get away.

We just cut up a fresh batch of mesquite today, you'll just have to come by next time!

I bet Eaker even has pictures.

The lefties are trying to keep people from reading her book because she outs them pretty good. I have only read two chapters and her research is amazing and on the money.
If the average American read and comprehended what she is putting out they would vote for Jimmy Hoffa before ever voting for another Liberal Democrat. America would be a wonderful place without these idiot liberals,they are as dangerous as terrorist and maybe even more so.

"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!"

I was cruising DU yesterday evening and they have gone absolutely rabid! They were actually saying they hoped she would die. I've NEVER seen a more foul-mouthed and hateful bunch of people on the net.

It's not humor. He's actually a voodoo priest.

Last week the bestselling American author caused outrage when she described the widows of 9/11 as 'witches' who revelled in their husbands' deaths.

And it only took until sentence #2 before they started lying... Or at the very least, completely mischaracterising what Ann wrote. It's truely amazing how nearly EVERYONE is buying into this Bravo Sierra! This evening on Fox News Channel, Kasich (sp?) reported that his wife asked why Ann had to be "so mean." Of course, neither he, nor his wife had bothered reasing the book, so they were reacting to quotes of people who also hadn't read her book, or were those who want to be character assasins against Ann! Un-Frigging-Believable!

Did Ann refer to several thousand widows as "witches?" Of was it 4, specifically identified women who have used their celebrity as September 11, 2001 widows to become political activists?
