Men Arrested For Throwing Custard Pies At Ann Coulter

<snip>

TUCSON, Ariz. -- It appears they didn't like what conservative columnist Ann Coulter had to say.

Two men ran on stage and threw custard pies at Coulter as she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona Thursday night. Coulter was hit in the shoulder. The men were arrested by university police.

In her half-hour speech, Coulter trashed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, liberals and Democrats, while praising conservative students who attended her speech.

Coulter writes a column for Universal Press Syndicate. Her appearance was sponsored by the UA College Republicans.

1. Hillarious,

any chance we can get pictures?

[sisenor]

26. CNN or MSNBC showed the video: Ann Coulter is a pie dodger.

The woman has quick reflexes though, she can write stupid books and run too! Title of her next book: How to dodge a liberal's pie (when you have to).

28. Maybe the pies dodged her...

Frightened at the idea of swapping germs with her.

2. I hope for endangering the life of the pies

3. ANNorexic................

could use a few pies to put a little weight on her. You could cut glass with her knees and elbows.

[Demit]

4. I am very disappointed that there's no picture :(

5. I think they just became my personal heroes

Oh, to be on that jury! Null-ify! Null-ify!

As soon as John Kerry gets in there, she gets declared a terrorist and put on the "Do Not Fly" list!

OCTOBER 22--Meet Phillip Edgar Smith and William Zachary Wolff. The Tucson men, both 24, were arrested last night after throwing cream pies at author Ann Coulter during her speech at the University of Arizona. One pie connected with the conservative commentator's shoulder. Smith, a UA student, and Wolff were charged with criminal damage, a felony, and misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and assault. The felony charge resulted from damage to a backdrop that school officials estimated at $3000. The pie provocateurs were booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Center--where the below mug shots were snapped--and scheduled for a court appearance today. If you're wondering about the sheets Smith and Wolff are wearing, they're not Bedouins. As a courtesy, the Pima jailers use them to cover the lockup's standard-issue orange jumpsuits.

And a riddle: What's a 'hoduck'?

[Bossy Monkey]

30. $3,000 damage to a backdrop? Well maybe

But since one is a student, the school can just stick it on his bill. Seems, uh, petty to say the very least.

[Philostopher]

33. I'm so incredibly disappointed.

I wanted them to be hirsute, dammit! I wanted her words to completely come back at her!

[VOX]

31. A salute to the pies, who selflessly sacrificed themselves...

...for the greater good of humanity. :)

32. Knowing Coulter and what it's capable of .............

if the police had only listened to it for a little while they no doubt could have heard something inflammatory out of its vile mouth that it could have been arrested for. Like a recent comment that it made "There's nothing wrong with Democrats that a Louisville Slugger won't fix". A custard pie is nothing by comparison.

[Ann Arbor Dem]

34. I hope the custard was curdled.... n/t
