What? No Ann Coulter thread this a.m.?

I had heard this name before, but didn't really know who this person was, other than a very vocal critic of some kind.  I don't pay much attention to politics, or news, I admit.  So I turn on the TV getting ready to pop in a yoga video, and I catch a few seconds of this. 

Wow.  All I can think of is that Ann Coulter and Rosie O'Donnell need to be in a cage match.  Two of the meanest, most hostile women I have ever seen.  What a match up!

Genius.  Even I'd PPV that one

I think watching those two roll around on the floor together might ruin the female gender for me.  

Reminds me of this:

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.

You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.

I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.

Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.

The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.

Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.

You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

It really is Dr. Seuss day here in the old COJ.  No one more deserving, in my opinion.

At least the grinch eventually grew a heart.  I think that mean lady may be beyond hope.  I felt tainted, and I only saw her for like, 30 seconds! 

While I generally think she's a detestable person and don't pay much attention to her, she was apparently spoofing Bill Maher's similar comments about Dick Cheney.

They were uncalled for comments by both her and Bill Maher.  Won't stop either one of them in the future though.

No...she's a Christian. Just ask her. 

Exactly.  Even is Mrs. Edwards comes on and makes reasonable points and *looks* like a winner, Coulter still wins if she comes off looking aggressive and - most importantly - making the morning news shows.  I mean really, who in the world would have known she was even on TV without this issue?

Not to be misogynistic, but being a b**ch is her trade (jsut like being an a -hole is Michale Savage's trade)

Note that her statement was from a televised interview, and that she didn't say she was spoofing Maher. She just made the comment. So for the media to say she was spoofing Maher would be speculation at best. For all we know, she really did wish Edwards was killed--only she knows what she really meant.

Given her history of venomous recklessness with which she attacks people, it should come as no surprise that nobody is surprised by the garbage that comes out of that person's mouth. Hardly newsworthy.

I wonder how many horcruxes she has hidden...

I, of course, agree with your last statement. I remember when Maher made his comments about Cheyney, and he was pretty well lambasted for it. And there were some differences about what he said and what she said.

Maher approached the topic in reference to reader comments on huffingtonpost.com to the effect that some people postnig on that site wished the assasination attempt hadn't failed. Maher approached the topic, not on the merits of those comments, but that Huffington had taken the comments down form her blog. Maher's point was that people should be able to say what they want, no matter how despicable. Later in his panel conversation, Maher did say that he had no doubt that more people would be alive today if Cheyney had been killed.

Now...that's a bit different than Coulter saying she wishes John Edwards were assasinated. First of all, Maher never said he wished Cheyney were dead. He just spoke about the consequences had the assasination attempt (which really occured) succeeded. It's not the same as wishing an assasination would take place. Subtle, but different. And second of all, Edwards isn't responsible for the life and death of soldiers the way Cheney was (and is). Edwards is just a guy that Coulter has been repeatedly personally attacking (reference her "faggot" and "Breck girl" descriptions of the guy.
