Coulter's Credit Card Denied at FL Supermarket
By SilentPatriot Wednesday Feb 20, 2008 1:15pm
At least she's eating now.
Ann Coulter suffered a serious embarrassment over the weekend when her credit card was declined in Palm Beach. According to our spy, the nutty arch-conservative was caught at 9:45 p.m. Saturday night in the 10 Items or Less line at the local Publix when her card was rejected.

Must have been liberals who were attempting to charge her card.
foist! no comment, not news
ha haaaaa. wah waaaaah
And yet people here get mad when people on the other side of the fence make frivolous, nasty comments.
Pettiness doesn't resolve pettiness.
::::
She may be short on funds since it's been about 5 weeks since she published her latest hate book.
1. The N Y Post isn't a very reliable source, especially when it's quoting an unnamed source.
2. "9:45 p.m. Saturday night"? I would have expected better editing at a major metropolitan paper.
Is this news, or even interesting?
At least she’s eating now.
Yah, ten items or less......that was her monthly shopping.
I agree, this is not news, not really worthy of posting on a political blog. It ranks with supermarket tabloids posting news about the latest famous person's scandal.
damn liberals.
gail @ 8:
Bingo.
Honestly, this post is not up to par with what I would expect here. I'm more of a lurker here, though.

.
And this is news because...?
She mAnn Coulter has nothing on Brittany Spears.
At least Spears can have kids...
Can we see posts on Brittany then?
.
You mean she isn't getting huge profits from her books that are on clearance and Barnes and Noble for $1.99?
Coulter was probably just buying some estrogen pills to keep his beard from growing back.
gail @ 8:
Nope. 100% zero news worthy.

This isn't a news website....i.e. it's "John Amato’s virtual online magazine…OK, It’s a blog!"
Nick @ 10:
AGREED! When I saw the source I had to check the date to see if it was April 1st...
This is not what I've come to expect from C&L... Please, please, please don't pollute this site anymore.
She was in the "10 Items or Less" line too. How much vodka and peroxide could she have been trying to buy?
Interesting it seems the New York post called her a "nutty arch-conservative" guess that means her time on fox is over.
The whole point of the story is that her books aren't selling at retail. The charges that the right wingers are buying large quantiies of her books at drastically reduced prices to put her on the bestsellers lists, is apparently true.
That's too bad. I hope she had enough cash on hand to purchase her Prostate supplements.
This is relevant how?...
Seriously, leave this crap to Faux Noise&talk radio.
Dr. Matt @ 17:
That's all well and good; however, shall we not desire or expect a higher level of content/discourse than, say, the Drudge Report, or Redstate?
I think what was said was critique rather than condemnation.
:)

This isn't exactly newsworthy. The more her face appears on any website the more she is legitimized regardless of the reason.
This is below the site. This is really none of anyone's business. If I wanted this junk I'd read OK! Magazine.
She maxed it out buying oxycontin for Rush.
I feel sorry for her experience, until she next speaks.
Give me a break. What a non-story and how hypocritical of you to put this story up. Grow up!
*Yawns*
She can't have bought that many slut black dresses to be going broke.
I'll wait for her "Identity Theft" excuse as to why her credit card was rejected.
Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha! Thanks for the laugh
Get over it, the rest of you... If you don't like the story, there are about 10,000 others you can read on this site and 90 million blogs out there for you to choose from...
Hey would someone please blog about the Discovery Channels refusal to air 'Taxi to the Darkside
? Seems the Bush administration has bullied the networks into not showing the truth about the Bush torture regime.
Get rid of this story, this is crap. I used to like this blog a lot, but stories like this are just pathetic. Who cares?
IS it news, no. Does it belong here, probably not.
But googling it brings up 44,000+ pages and one called her "comedian"! That's newsworthy!
The truth of the matter is Coulter is being further empowered and emboldened off the hatred she inspires. Just ignore her.

Art Pufkin @ 30:
I think that says it all.
It's my understanding that he tried to charge TWO weeks' worth of food, or, 14 grains of bulk rice. It wouldn't register on the scale.
There's always a logical explanation for these seemingly odd news stories.
miss_kitty @ 32:
I'm glad someone else has a sense a humor. All these screeching, ranting libruls whining about this posting need to take that stick of their collective arses.
You can't live on appletinis & coke (not the 'new' one) alone....
Just ask her shoe shopping buddy Drudge...
Much as I would like to hope that Mann is financially destitute, I can tell you that a credit card not working isn't necessarily indicative of financial destitution. Sometimes the systems go down for servicing, deposits don't get credited........

Replace number 7 with a carton of smokes.
I USED to feel comfortable recommending this site to people who I thought could 'learn' something from it without having to wade through any CRAP that only serves to alienate skeptical readers.
Just because the volume knob goes to 11, it doesn't mean you should play it that way...
it may be a non story as some of the folks have suggested, but it really gets the rePUGs on this board to respond quickly.
dia lento da notícia?
Honestly, who cares? I couldn't care less what that wacko says, let alone what happened to her on a recent trip to the local grocery store. She's a nobody.
Dr. Matt @ 17:
Where have you been for the last 30 years. Have you heard the rights constant mantra like voices talking about liberal Democrat's fiscal irresponsibility? Any time you can point out right wing hypocrisy you do it. They lie about how they govern and how they live.
This happened to me just last week; my new card was set up to run as credit but not debit (so the bank can generate a bit of revenue from the float), and the gas station runs for debit by default - one quick call and the problem was cleared up.
This story, like Rush's additiction problems, don't interest me at all because they really are a distraction from the fact that the Bush presidency has been an absolute catastrophe in every way. The scope, the magnitude of the catastrophe is so large that it's difficult to fully grasp its effects now, let alone for future generations. So it's not really the best time to be snickering over petty little things for which their may even be a perfectly reasonable explanation.
I know it's Ann Coulter; but really, who cares? Now, if Britney weren't wearing a seatbelt we might have something.
....Bummer...... heheheheh...JD
Chocolate rations are up 25%?
DOUBLEPLUS GOOD!!!!!!!
no its not news.....but i do feel a tiniest little bit of Schadefreude... :)
*points finger and laughs like Simpsons' Nelson*
HA-ha!
whether or not this story "belongs" on this private, free-to-use, blog is more up to amato than anyone else.
although, i do see the voracity of the argument that the more attention you give an attention-whore the longer they stick around. analagous to a pimple. if you keep picking at it it will never heal.
anyhoo...
i, too, found it interesting that a murdoch-rag (the NYPost) is referring to coulter as "the nutty arch-conservative." something about the pot calling the kettle black comes to mind.
is the reichwing cutting ann loose?
see its funny because she's poor
and she hates poor people
and shes famous, so you think she'd be making more money
but shes not, and that means no ones listining to her
hows that not news??
My EYE's!!
Could have run this little blurb without his/her picture. But I just got home from the bars, so I can handle it.
natisman @ 45:
i'm not a repug, if thats what you're suggesting. it just seems snobbish and/or cruel to publish a story about someones credit card being denied. i'd rather read about latest white house debacle.
he/she/it was probably buying a jock strap
Lots of people get their cards denied for any of a number of reasons. Posting this story is pretty immature and petty. Let's talk more about the real issues, that's why I go here instead of the MSM.
Lol! I thought it was hilarious and could only mean one thing: another book is now immediately in the works!!!
Seriously though, I'm pretty sure it was only posted to lighten the mood here a little today and everyone goes ape shit? It's Ann Coulter... Laugh a little.
Man, I am so glad that she didn't make a stop at the North Port Publix (I moved from Sarasota) and I am so glad that I don't go shopping at 9:45 p.m. With my luck, had I been there so would she have. That's a very depressing thought.
And yeah, get over it.
natisman @ 45:
Ah, yes, anyone is either with us on this specific issues or with the terrorists... erm, rethuglicans *rolleyes*
Seriously, though, this pointless schadenfreude is what I expect of teh rightwing, not us.
If its relevant, if some guy always ranting on how drugusers should be put in jail is caught abusing drugs himself, if some "moral values" preacher is caught with a gay hooker, please tell us. But if there is no irony, no hipocrisy, no real story there... jst drop it. It's not news. It's no relevant. And its beneath us.
Hilarious! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person!!
Samson- @ 55:
That's not really necessary; the ropes just kind of slip off.
Douglas @ 63:
It's not beneath me, so speak for yourself.
Give Ann a break -- hasn't that happened to all of us at least once in our lives. I had a card, back in the 70s, with a $5K limit and a zero balance. Clerk had to run it four times after denial until it finally worked. Let's have some real Ann Coulter news, as in will she really vote for Hillary and does she own only one dress (black)?
Been looking for an appropriate place to post this..............I happened to be in a Borders bookstore Saturday:
They have a big prominently displayed contemporary politics section. As an experiment, I decided to count right wing flavored books, everything from she-devil's and O'lielies latest rantings on to semi-respectable looking shining biographies of Condi Rice.......I threw in Bernie Goldberg on their side too which may or may not be justified.
Results: I found all of about fifteen right wing titles spread out over I think 18 2 foot shelves. Putting that in perspective, I believe that there were EIGHT titles from Noam Chomsky alone.
The wingnuts are always saying "let the market decide".......well, it seems that it has.
Oh, one other thing.......store is in a moderately rednecky area, so it wasn't like I was pulling my sample in an urbane area of NYC or San Francisco

Couldn't she prove that the man's name on the credit card was actually "her"?

Britney is the new Whitney.
The economy is great! it's great cus republicans are in charge! I'll blame this on Democrats in 11 months... Things are great! I have money, i swear!
[Deleted. Off topic-Sitemonitor]
... who cares? i mean she might not act like a human, but she is in fact one, and peoples credit cards get rejected all the time. How does this have anything to do with anything?
gmsingh @ 69:
I was waiting for that one... :)
CD @ 15:
LOL
Not Necessarily the News, but fun. Being an xian, she must believe in "do unto others...", so since she does obnoxious things to others, she must want others to treat her the same. So this is merely xian kindness.
1) She, being superior to other humans, and as a new-style-ultra-right-wing(nut)-conservative who needs not obey laws and rules she doesn't like, had >10 items.
2) The items included, no doubt, were: rat poison, creme brulee ingredients and a nice gift card.
3) Re: eating: but I'm sure she has a callous at the base of her middle finger.
4) A bottle of vodka and "the sponge."

Blessed are the cheese makers.
It's Bush's war (AUF, really) and no one else's.
John-
I read this blog every day and have rarely (if ever) commented. This is seriously beneath you and demeans the standards that you've set at C&L.
This post should be removed entirely – and you should have a talk with your co-bloggers about what C&L stands for.
Why is C&L reporting ANYTHING having to do with this crystal meth addict?
Add mine to the throng of voices who view this as "not news." This belongs on Fark perhaps, but not here.
Frankly... who gives a fuck. Unless it is Mann Coulter of course. After all she has made millions off of pandering to the racists, bigot s, and anti-semites of the conservative movement...
I'm sure she'll blame the rejection of her card on that darn Liberal grocery industry.
Now if only Chris Matthews would reject her in the same way.
But how does one tell the Huffy Troll Republicans from the Humorless Stick-Up-The-Butt Liberals?
I don't think this is a big deal. Sometimes there's a computer glitch & this will happen. Unfortunately, with all her book success, I don't think Coulter is having money problems.

Dr. Matt @ 40:
Now, now Doc...C&L is a big tent...and if the overly serious, intellectually snobbish, pc-righteous nerds want to sit in the corner and rant during recess I say enjoy the knee-jerking spectacle like we're enjoying Colt-er...LOL
;-)
*sigh* really?
Do we need to hear about this? Plus all the name calling is just as lame and counterproductive coming from the left.
amy @ 84:
If her books are selling for pennies on the dollar, she may not have that much money or credit. A $20.00 sells for $2.00 she may only make 10 cents on that book. 200,000 books and she makes $20,000. That's not much to support her lifestyle.
Definitely Newsworthy:The Right-Wing Royalists are always trying to sell their 'your on your own' (YOYO) personal responsibility philosophy. "It's your money, and you know how to use it better than the government does."
If Little Annie Fascist can't manage her own money, especially with her coterie of conservative money-men sycophants, how the hell do guys like her expect Joe Six-Pack to do it?
At least she got a bit of her own medicine. Wonder if the card shot to 29.9% APR? Wonder if her other cards, and her ARM home loan, all reset to a higher rate because of her running over-limit on this card? Wonder how the results of her much-vaunted deregulation of the banking industry are tasting now?
Eh, Annie boy?!
Just when I begin to thing the universe doesn't have a sense of humor...
so much schadenfreude, so little time.
If a filthy rich multi millionaire like Ann Coulter can have her credit card denied; I will not feel so embarrassed the next time my VISA gets rejected at the local supermarket.
Some of us need to lighten up. Sometimes you need a little funny. You know sometimes a fart joke goes a long way to break the tension (they never get old). Same thing.
So what?
As much as I don't like the woman and the hate she spreads for a living this isn't news and it's not relevant.
Honestly I'm surprised to see this posted here and a little disappointed.
Albatross @ 83:
There's actually a medical condition called 'zaklee' that you can test for, and it's very simple. If the patient has zaklee, its a thugtardtroll. The doctor briefly examines the patient's rectum, then their mouth, then pronounces the case as zaklee. If the patient asks for details, it is told,"Your breath smells zaklee like your ass". Sometimes, however, a very serious lib can fool a doctor with gas, which can make anyone cranky and humorless if its bad enough.
This is news and I'm glad its on C&L - after all, she's a Crook and a Liar -
If anything, this story should tell us that no one is above anyone else. Bad things happen to people all the time - but its particularly juicy when someone who preaches hate and bad things for a living has a smidge of Karma when she attempts to use and/or enjoy the fruits of that labor.
Besides, I'm sure Hannity would float her a loan.
joe cantwell @ 92:
We're just going to have to share the load.
In other news . . the latest Reuters headline is "Clinton attacks Obama ahead of debate" - another SHOCKING development!
John,
If Drudge had posted a story about Al Franken's card (not trying to compare the two in any way other than to pick a name from the Left) being declined in a MN store, you bet C&L would prominently quote that story as an example of right-wing pettiness. As mentioned above, there are many reasons someone's card could be declined for reasons other than a shortage of funds. Surely we can rise above the level of discourse on the Right. Granted, that's not a very high watermark, but still, I expect more from C&L.
this is serious news?
sheesh i loath coulter but anyone who uses a credit card knows they go kerflooey every once in awhile.
nothing to see here move on.

Perhaps you could and then link?

Too many humorless, clueless 1st time posters in this thread.
First it was a picture of Bush (four posts back), then a picture of Limbaugh. Now Coulter. Geez. I'll give you a shiny new quarter if you put a picture of Hitler up next. I mean, you wouldn't want to break the rhythm.

Life is simply a collection of small events, so when individuals of such microscopic character as Ann Coulter–so deserving of comeuppance–are made to look even smaller, it warms my heart just a little bit.
this isn't politics
