Ann Coulter Slams Ivins, Keller, Hillary, Couric in Latest Column

Ann Coulter offered more mean-spirited commentary in her latest Universal Press Syndicate column posted Wednesday night.

In a Q&A with herself, Coulter asked: "How would your career be different if you looked like [liberal Creators Syndicate columnist] Molly Ivins?" Coulter answered: "I'd be a lot uglier."

The conservative Universal columnist also called New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller "(a) a complete moron or (b) a traitor," and said the "mainstream press is in economic trouble" because of "hysterical leftism that drove readers away."

Two other Coulter Q&As in her new column:

-- "Why is abortion sacrosanct to the left? Why have Democrats chosen this as their hill to die on? Why is evolution so important to liberals?" Her answer: "Because they basically want to depopulate the world of human beings, hence their love of abortion and their commitment to a belief system that does not distinguish men from lower beasts."

-- "Does Hillary Clinton have a good chance in 2008? What are her strengths and weaknesses?" Coulter's answer: "Good chance of what? Coming out of the closet? I'd say that's about even money. Her strength is her first name; her weakness is her last."

Coulter also said of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan: "Isn't he on the ground fighting with Hezbollah?" Of Joseph Wilson: "You mean Valerie Plame's clueless hubby? Whatever happened to that moron?" And of Katie Couric: "The affable Eva Braun of evening TV."

she makes me wish I was smart.

Didn't Molly Ivins fight Godzilla??

No, they were mating.

'blah blah... these for [sic] harpies? I guess I'm just pathetic.'...

Yes, I guess you are. It wasn't merely the four "harpies" who were appalled and outraged by what that evil bitch said. Coulter's sickening words were roundly condemned all round by other relatives of 911 victims.

[chesty_puller]

And if you defend it, you are the one who is pathetic.

I'll defend it! What she said about those 4 sows was absolutely correct.

[jjbrouwer]

Fortunately, not many people in New York or New Jersey agree with your opinion. To say these women are happy their husbands died is disgusting and she was rightly condemned by Republic politicians in New York. But continue defending it, by all means.

The four women in question actually did a lot of good in forcing an investigation into the lapses in security which to the attack on the World Trade Center. For Coulter to criticise them for making money out of tragedy is rather hypocritical since the attention generated from her attack on the widows is sure to guarantee high sales.

What do they mean "mean"? Is it an average or a mean mean they mean? By what means do they intend to demean what Ann really means? By mean-spirited, do they mean average-spritied or just median-spritied? If they don't like "mean", then what do they like... like? Perhaps that's not what they mean.

Yeah, I emailed the station to complain and told them to put Couric's kids on tv and ask them the same question.

[perfect stranger]

forcing an investigation into the lapses in security which to the attack on the World Trade Center.

The main reason for the lapse was on the 9-11 Commission's panel.

And don't forget it was these same 4 that were hooting, hollering and applauding like they were at some rock and roll concert whenever a Republican took the stand.

The 9-11 Commission didn't have a chance of being objective from day 1.

I remember Katie Couric interviewing David Horowitz: "Are you a racist?" She gave him the coldest look as he tried to prove his innocence.

How would it have gone if Eva Braun had done the interview. Maybe like this: "Are you a Jew?" while giving him the coldest look as he tried to defend himself.

The only difference I can see is that Eva would have been right.

care to post a link or are you just talking out your @ss? The 9/11 families are not in a position of moral superiority. There opinions are no more important than anyone else's. You've got that liberal "Only the victims have the moral high ground" ala Cindy Sheehan. Personal attacks are a liberals way of stomping their feet and pouting. Again you've obviously had practice.

[jjbrouwer]

Ah, the dreaded "L" word. I could post any number of links. You would no doubt dismiss her critics as "Liberals" so you can do your own research. Funny how you rant on about personal attacks and your own posts are equally rude.

Actually, the victims have the right to express their views without being attacked by keyboard commandos like you or evil old hags like Coulter.

[BruceysMom]

Evil old hag? So are you blind? You may not like her or think she's pretty but if you think she's old you must be about 15. Does your mom know you're on the internet?

[monkapotamus]

[jjbrouwer]

Does "Brucey" know you are the Net...?

You are an extremely rude woman so it is no surprise you associate with the evil Coulter. Apparently, only she can be greedy and grasping. The poor women who lost their husbands are not allowed to earn money. I'm sure their kids would appreciate your spiteful comments about their parents.

[ChessExpert]

What she said about the 911 widows ...

What has she said about (all) 911 widows?

The “Jersey Girls” are not “the 911 widows.” How may 911 widows are there? Probably more than a thousand. Most people who think the Jersey Girls ARE “the 911 widows” have been misled (duped). Those people who know better, and still refer to them as “the 911 widows,” are not honest.

I am with you on Jennifer Connelly. I have to throw my vote to Salma Hayek.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!

....just checked, nope!!...late 50's male.

[BruceysMom]

Care to quote anything I said about the widows? You know so you can tell their children? After all you know what everyone in New Jersey and New York thinks, as per your earlier post. So surely you know these folks personally. I'm sure you can make up something if you think hard. Brucey is a 162 lbs Caucasian Ovcharka. Who is denying the "widows" the ability to make money? Just cause your mother calls you son it doesn't mean you're bright. I am rude to those who spout nonsense.

[perfect stranger]

Actually, the victims have the right to express their views without being attacked by keyboard commandos like you or evil old hags like Coulter.

It seems to me that you should also agree with Maureen Dowd's assertion that Cindy Sheehan has 'absolute moral authority'.
