I think the thing that frightens me most is that her books are consistently best selling.

Ann Coulter suggests Bill Clinton shows signs of being a latent homosexual

because of his multiple affairs with women



"I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality."

I mean, there's *so* many things wrong with that statement that I don't know where to begin.

But the money quote comes with this: "Well, there is something narcissistic about homosexuality. Right? Because you’re in love with someone who looks like you. I’m not breaking new territory here, why are you looking at me like that?"

Because you're a crackpot, Ann. He's looking at you like that because you're absolutely nuts.


Oy.

I have no idea who this woman is (yes, I've been living under a rock) and I'm good with that. Dude...

I keep telling you - move back here and fast. Harper's an ass, but that's a temporary thing.

I have to agree with Gatorclix here (not on the loving her part). She IS an entertainer first, and as such, what she craves is attention.

Just like a bad kid who finds that using curse words garners him attention, she has figured out that the more outrageous things she says, the more attention she gets.

She's a loon, sure, but she's a RICH loon.

The best thing to do with people like that is to simply ignore them. Eventually they go away.

Oh, I didn't say that's how she THINKS of herself as an entertainer. That implies a level of self awareness that I don't think she has.

Ann Coulter = female hybrid of Rush Limbaugh and Don Rickles.

She is a terrible writer.

I didn't say it was. She's a loon, but she gets people talking (just look at the number of comments on this relatively new post)

As such, she does a service of sorts to the media who court her. So, if they need to swallow their morals to get high ratings and treat her like she's deserving of respect, then that's what they do. Logic: If Ann wants to be called a commentator and booked as a commentator and treated as if she was even close to sane, and it benefits MY ratings, then that's what I should do.

Again, it may be abhorrent, but it's reality. And since most media types are entertainers themselves, but like to be thought of as serious reporters, who are they to question her?

Actually, I meant it the OTHER way. I meant to imply that she has no actual credibility whatsoever, and anyone who thinks she does is almost as crazy as she is.

I refuse to consider her a commentator because she's not, she's a nut.

That woman makes me ill.
