Ann Coulter is a whore. I’m not meaning to be vulgar… I mean, she’s a media whore. How else can you possibly explain her recent comments to the New York Observer, where she mentions that “we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning,” and that “[Bill Clinton] was a very good rapist.” Think about that for a moment… We ought to “nuke” North Korea? We ought to drop a nuclear device on North Korea to “give the rest of the world a warning?” The trouble with Ann is that she’ll look you right in the eye and claim to be serious about such a proposition. So either she’s a media whore who is just screaming, “Watch me! Talk about me! Love me!” to anyone careless enough to give her the airtime on which to do so, or she’s certifiably insane. My guess is the latter. I mean, you’d have to be insane to suggest actually dropping a nuclear bomb on North Korea. You’d have to be.
Over the past few years, Coulter has become more and more outrageous in her statements about so-called “liberals.” Over the same amount of time, she’s received more and more press. The link above is actually a link to NewsMax, which praises her at every turn (the Observer does not provide access to older articles — you must pay for them). Conservatives have just encouraged her to write more and more outrageous (and more and more untrue and unconfirmable) tales about liberals and government. Either these pundits love eating the red meat (and they call us hateful and angry?), or folks like Hannity and Limbaugh (and FOX News in general) are trying to get her to say something so bizarre that she is finally viewed by everyone as totally insane, leaving the right-wing hatewaves once again to the “GOP-endorsed boys club.” Actually, hasn’t that point arrived already? How can anyone look to her for any kind of serious discourse? Why is she still showing up on television shows as a talking head? It has to be the shock factor. That’s all I can think of. She’s going to say something shocking. She’s going to get ratings. People will listen to her because she’s either going to say something remarkably stupid, purposefully deceitful, or patently ludicrous. It’s almost shameful, these news shows allowing her on television. Do these producers have no morals? Don’t they know she should be given help instead of being put on display like that for everyone to see?
Ann, you’re a joke. A cartoon… Please get a show on Comedy Central and leave the political discourse to people who can actually make valid, civil points and quote actual sources instead of making them up. Do us all a favor. Although you think that we liberals love to hate people like you, I’m asking you to stop for your own benefit (and my own sanity). I really don’t want to see you led away in a straitjacket or taken away by the Department of Homeland Security. Well, part of me does, but one of my new years’ resolutions was to think only positive thoughts… Wait… Wouldn’t that be a positive thought? Hmmmm…. That’s the trouble with Ann I guess… She’s just infinitely confusing…
