Poor Ann Coulter. Every time things start going really bad for the White House, the usual suspects start their distraction campaigns. Then Ann Coulter–who desperately and rather pathetically wants to believe she’s still relevant–has to come out and prove that she’s the top of the slime heap by saying something even more outrageous. Her new book isn’t selling well, and well, let’s be honest, she reeeally needs to sell some — and for more than the buck or worst, penny they go for. After all, it’s not like those black cocktail dresses she prefers grow on trees, and let’s not even talk about her cosmetic expenses–you think that comes cheap?
Appearing on Tucker to pimp her latest rag (and how sad a gig that is, the lowest rated show on MSNBC), the official Republican Spokesperson tosses out her contribution to the right wing mud wallowing to make everyone forget that they are the last stubborn stragglers to utter failure: John Edwards had an 18 month affair — as reported by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. At that point, even Tucker had to laugh at the feckless Coulter. Let’s face it, if Tucker’s laughing at your journalistic sourcing, Ann, you’re officially a joke.

As with just about every stop on her comedy book tour, she manages to get in a dig at Elizabeth Edwards–who called her out on Coultergeist’s disgusting last attempt at attention–dismissing her as “Lizzy” (gee Ann, you wouldn’t happen to be trying out for the road show of “Heathers, The Musical,” would you? Remember, “bulimia is so ‘87“) but Tucker just can’t get past the tabloid comment. He tells Ann he’ll wait to get confirmation on the Enquirer story the next time he’s at the supermarket — and as the segment comes to a close and she stares doe-eyed into the camera Tucker slips this in:
Carlson: “Good luck at Safeway.”
And then there’s this… it’s scary how far she has to go to out do herself…The smell of desperation just reeks from her.

But as long as Crooks & Liars chooses to write about her, she’ll continue. How about ignoring her for a change?
Agreed. Ignore this idiot.
Another vote for ignoring - - just makes my skin crawl.

don’t ignore. deplore.
commence shunning
“Good luck at Safeway”. Heh.
I doubt she’s even seen the inside of a church. That said, I agree with ignoring her at this point.
She’s just mad as hell because IF he had an affair, it was probably with a member of the opposite sex.
Still want to see her naked.
Still wish we had a democrat that abrasive.
would that she could be “perfected” into another dimension….
She needs to be reduced from being a pundit to a shock jock (pun intended). No body cares what shock jocks say or do. We shouldn’t care what Coulter says, but it was a nice touch to see Tucker dismiss Coulter’s source of Edwards affair.
Even if Edwards did have an 18-month affair, I’m sure that it was with a girl and he made amends to his wife, who may have forgiven him.
Isn’t it sad when it comes down to what Conservatives are really supposed to support (family, children, etc.) it’s the Liberals, Progressives and the Democrats that do a better job at it.
We cannot look the other way on her jews comment. I just read a paper describing how her type of political theology was what lead to the rise of Nazi germany. People like her give alot of ignrant people an excuse to hold on to their beliefs. Never forget Imus.
Well, so much for the Bible Belt bumper stickers that say: “Not perfect, just forgiven.”
also the rude one does say it all so nicely (meant to put it up, der…)

Well, the national enquirer IS just about her speed…
May just be a perfect fit for the likes of ‘her’….JD
National Enquirer broke the Jennifer Flowers story and Jesse Jackson’s love child story. I wouldn’t dismiss the story just because Ann Coulter mentioned it.
If this is true, expect a major story in the coming week or so.
No, no no! You people all misunderstand. (M)ann Coulter IS a comedian! (S)he’s an avant-garde conceptual performance artist struggling to satirize the right-wing. It’s a struggle indeed because the right wing keeps going further and further into wingnuttia and leaving no room for satire.
But you gotta admire the effort. I mean, come on — “women should lose the right to vote”? That’s pure comedy GOLD!
Reich-wing apologists are going to screech that he was “just joking” and in the next sentence these scum will claim that “everything he says is the truth”.
Robert Lockwood Mills @ 1:
I’m flattered that you think we’re so powerful that it is our reporting that causes her to continue, but I’m not so sure that true.
The fact is, ignoring them doesn’t work. They get more outrageous. The only thing that works is to hold their words up to scrutiny and make sure people see her for the Nazi cow that she is. That’s what we do here. And then the next time she’s a headliner at the CPAC convention, you can ask the producers if this is the kind of statement they want to stand behind.
It does work. Look at Imus. Look at O’Reilly being asked to not host the Exploited Children fundraiser. They’ve had decades to establish themselves with national platforms. We have to keep chipping away at those platforms until they are completely isolated.
The Simpsons got it right. If you just don’t look, the monsters go away. Don’t look.
Jason @ 16:
ROFL!!!!!
Seriously, R O F L ! ! !
It’s not really that funny. Watch her repeat it a few times, and then suddenly it will be picked up on every news show for a days. Mark my words.
JudyLou @ 13:
… as they speed on past you in a no-passing zone while going 15 to 20 mph over the speed limit to zip through the intersection.
Nicole Belle @ 19:
Excellent retort, Nicole. I agree. Mann Coulter’s hate and despicable nature should be exposed and aired out so everyone can see what fringe extremists the reich-wing mouth pieces really are.
I agree, ignore her. You’re putting her slime far beyond it’s reach.
Check out AmericaBlog posting about Coulter’s anti-semitic statements on the Donny Deutsch show. She actually thinks that the U.S. would be a better place without Jews and that all Jews should “perfect” themselves by converting to Christianity. Why are Tucker Carlson and Donny Deutsch giving this clown a forum to speak from? Bigots like her need to be ignored and certainly not given air time. They should also pursue questioning her when she makes such outrageous statements!
That does it, I’m canceling my National Enquirer subscription!
ignore her stupid ignorant ass
How this piece of crap passing herself off as anything having to do with the human race is beyond me. I guess the book isn’t selling so she needs to slither back out from under her rock and raise a few eyebrows. If you think this interview was mind blowing, you should head over to Editor & Publisher and catch her interview with Donny Deutsch from his show on Monday.

Ann Coulter on CNBC Show: Jews Need ‘Perfecting’
By E&P Staff
Published: October 11, 2007 12:15 AM ET updated 1:30 PM ET
NEW YORK Appearing on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC show, “The Big Idea,” on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren’t any Jewish people and that they needed to “perfect” themselves into — Christians.
It led Deutsch to suggest that surely she couldn’t mean that, and when she insisted she did, he said this sounded “anti-Semitic.”
Asked by Deutsch whether she wanted to be like “the head of Iran” and “wipe Israel off the Earth,” Coulter stated: “No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. … That’s what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament.”
Deutsch told E&P’s sibling magazine, Adweek, today, “I was offended. And then, and this was interesting, she started to back off and seemed a little upset.”
Asked to gauge her reaction, Deutsch said, “I think she got frightened that maybe she had crossed a line, that this was maybe a faux pas of great proportions. I mean, did it show ignorance? Anti-Semitism? It wasn’t just one of those silly things.”
A transcript, provided by Media Matters, follows.

DEUTSCH: Christian — so we should be Christian? It would be better if we were all Christian?
COULTER: Yes.
DEUTSCH: We should all be Christian?
COULTER: Yes. Would you like to come to church with me, Donny?
DEUTSCH: So I should not be a Jew, I should be a Christian, and this would be a better place?
COULTER: Well, you could be a practicing Jew, but you’re not.
DEUTSCH: I actually am. That’s not true. I really am. But — so we would be better if we were - if people — if there were no Jews, no Buddhists –
COULTER: Whenever I’m harangued by –
DEUTSCH: — in this country? You can’t believe that.
Interesting that Tucker asked for a new insult. Note that he did not ask for new information or facts. The stupid jackass actually asked for new insults!
Note to Tucker: How does this help make America a better place?
Reading about Coulter’s and Malkin’s most recent antics is like trying to keep up with the latest stunt the the mean girls have tried to pull off at junior high. That’s more or less the maturity level.
The serial fiance is allowed to spew Dr. William Pierce style white nationalist talking points and the media book her time after time. No progressive author is given 1/1000th the airtime as Coulter
Dr. Matt @ 24:
I agree also. We’ve tried ignoring them and it doesn’t work. The sheep won’t necessarily be educated or change their core beliefs, but they are susceptible to peer pressure. When we reveal how stupid, inane, money-grubbing and common Coulter really is, the sheep get nervous about being associated with her name. They may still get a vicarious thrill from her outrageous pronouncements, but when company comes over they’ll change the channel before they answer the door because it’s just plain embarrassing to be seen watching the b$tch. After awhile the draw will be less and their vulgar instincts will find another outlet, and perhaps one less likely to influence their votes. Like reruns of “Mama’s Family”. Or whatever.
Ahh, sweet Ann Coultergeist. I ran into one of her die hard fans on Flickr. I should stayed out of it, but couldn’t help myself, so if you can stomach it (only for Margaret Mead-like purposes), check out the thread there. It got a little ‘testy’.
If the rumors are correct, Annie baby could be looking at some very expensive plastic surgery down the road. Life as an aging Drag Queen could be a very daunting prospect.
Either that, or she’s just like every other voraciously greedy repiglican pundit. Cashing in via the blood of innocents while the price of her her personal stock is still nice and high.

If Coultergeist isn’t a tranvestite, I’ll eat this keyboard! She’s totally irrelevant to the american landscape. Her book will tank and so is she.
Is she waiting to say “I am a transsexual” for the last minute or someting?
Ann Coulter Unmasked (20 second satire video)
Yes Ignore! She isn’t even worth it. BTW, Love the ode to Heathers the absolute fav movie of my teen years.
It’s time to get this fright-nite pseudo-chick off the air. She’s repulsive at this point. Whatever happened to the charges against her for bogus voter registration? I think the left needs to begin doing some digging on this witch.
OMFG!!! I got to get a bigger picture of that screen shot, print it out, and cut out her face and turn it into a Halloween mask!! :lol:
When translated into Farsi (Iran’s official language), Coulter’s statement reads as: “Kill all the Jews”.
Remember, you can’t spell Ann Coulter without using the letters r, e, a, l, c, u, n, t, and o.
;)
In the interview at the link she proves what I have always said. “Christians” like her only believe in the Old Testament and totally ignore the New Testament. They like the book with all the killing and horrible stuff and pay no heed to the teachings of Christ.
No, I’m not religious, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Seriously, I did go to Sunday School and Church when I was a kid. No more!
Dr. Matt @ 24:
i’m torn.
ignoring her or exposing her? which is best to deal with (m)ann?
on the one side i definitely agree with the point in challenging what she says, holding her accountable, exposing her hate for the world to see.
on the other side this appears to be her aim. she say things controversial enough where her comments make the news. i think that this is exactly what she wants–that is, for us to talk about her and continue legitamizing her. there are scads of butt-ass crazy/dangerous loons on the right that make hate speech a regular practice–yet (m)ann has the ability to make the news, and thus her vitriol and ignorance is broadcast for all to see/hear.
from medved, to limbaugh, to savage, to coulter–the ranks of the hatebreed are deep. for me, i think it is best not to give attention to the attention-desperate. yet, i can’t stop myself from weighing in on the neofascist slimebags. would they go away if we stopped talking about them? probably not. but i think it would be the only thing that would really “hurt” them, as they feed off of hate, controversy and negativity. can we change their opinions, sway their followers or anything of the such by exposing the lies and hate? no way.
