Funny Lady

"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Ann Coulter said. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."
Hoo! Ha! Those of us non-media types are rolling in the aisles over here, I can tell you! Ms. Coulter told the Philander Smith College audience Thursday that more conservative justices were needed on the Supreme Court to change the current law on abortion. Dale Carnegie suggests opening with a joke. Apparently her humorous notion is that the murder of one Supreme Court Justice (a liberal) would save the lives of countless unborn children. See, killing people for what they believe is okay, just keep your filthy hands off our fetuses!
Sheesh. I suppose when things go politically your way for most of a decade, you start to feel like you can say just about whatever pops into your head. The audience for the speech wasn't very receptive to her views, and she drew more boos when she said the crack cocaine problem "has pretty much gone away."
Another little gem from Coulter's past: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." How about "The presumption of innocence only means you don't go right to jail." She's a pistol, all right. "I am emboldened by my looks to say things Republican men wouldn't." This comment suggests that, because she has blonde hair and no visible scars or open sores, she has some prescient gift for truth that we mortals (especially wicked, amoral liberals) cannot hope to understand. We can only sit, jaws agape at her command of world events and murmur assent at her whimsy.
Perhaps most amusing to me, from her own web page is the list at the bottom of her personal history page REPORTERS WHO ARE ALLOWED TO INTERVIEW ANN AGAIN. Mildly amusing technical note - Ann's page is called "AnnCoulter.com" but has an address of "AnnCoulter.org" - silly girl.
Speaking of web sites, I got to thinking, "Who does this all remind me of?" Way back when wrestling was still a sport, and Aha had a hit with "Take On Me," there was Morton Downey Jr. Mort was a clown, and he knew it. He was doing whatever he could to keep his face on television, in 1989 while in a San Francisco International Airport restroom in which he claimed to have been attacked by neo-Nazis who painted a swastika on his face and attempted to shave his head.
Come 2008, we can expect some of the same wacky behavior from conservative funny lady, Ann Coulter.
