"Is that why you are a 45-year old virgin with an Addam's apple?"

[IndianaGreen]

Olbermann on Coulter being the worst person in the world. In today's column, Coulter says that Hillary will come out of the closet.

[OwnedByFerrets]

1. That was so hilarious

I almost fell out of my chair when KO said that. :rofl:

[savemefromdumbya]

2. That's priceless from 'Annie the Tranny'

where else would you get a woman looking like THAT!

[Fridays Child]

3. Damn! Missed it! I hope C&L puts it up.

[Olney Blue]

4. If Bill and Hillary are BOTH gay, then it's a gay marriage.

I like it!

[IndianaGreen]

5. Gore is gay too, according to Coultergeist.

She needs serious therapy!

[Champion Jack]

6. heh heh heh

[dreamsvsnightmares]

10. That is priceless!

[IndianaGreen]

11. Priceless? I think it is a very disturbing picture!

The only thing more disturbing than Champion_Jack's picture of a pre-op Coulter would be to see Coulter and Michele Malkin in bed together!

[Awsi Dooger]

7. I guess I'm in the lopsided minority

But I thought that comment was below Olbermann. He does marvelous using the right's own words against them. A personal insult like this is on their level, and I shook my head in disbelief when he said it.

[Berry Cool]

8. Nah, he likes to take a cheap shot back at those who take cheap shots.

Sometimes, it's just plain FUN.

[IndianaGreen]

9. It's not an insult to insult the Queen of Insult

and considering the horrible things that nazi tart has been saying about Democrats and 9-11 widows, she deserves whatever she gets.

[calimary]

13. Agreed. With that witch, all bets, AND all gloves, are off.

And should REMAIN that way.

If she's gonna dish out shit like she does, she has to expect, in all fairness (and balance!) to get it back.

And for that matter, whether she expects to reap what she sows or not, that's what she deserves.

Or as we used to say about female cutthroats in the newsroom - she who lives by the stiletto dies by the stiletto.

[goclark]

19. Has she ever proved she is a lady?

Did anyone ever go to school with her and know her to be a girl?

She looks like a man to me.

[vixengrl]

12. I think the reason people respond to Ms. Coulter

in an (I say it gently) ad feminam way, is because she has created this persona from which she lobs her verbal grenades at an effigy of "The Liberal" which we can both identify with and disown. Her "straw liberal"--a scarecrow lacking both brain and spine, resembles not one single, living, breathing Democrat or Green I have ever met. And yet, when she creates, with her hypothetical "Liberal" a picture of say, "God-hating, baby killing, America-destroying menace"--some part of us, the self-admitted liberals, wonders--

Does she hate me? Like, personally? For what I identify with?



Because she has this fake image of what we represent, we seize on her persona to represent something *awful*. To most, it's a game--what would be awful to Ann? I think the classic "She's a transexual" comment comes because we know this minority sexuality would most likely appall our Ms. Coulter, who seems, by way of long golden locks and short skirt, to flaunt her femininity, while at the same time, cheapening the feminine perspective by downing feminism and adopting a "virago" tone.

I think her depiction of, first, Bill Clinton as possibly on the down low, and now, Hillary as gay, may be a reaction--to smear as she has been smeared by. The Clintons, ensemble are kind of emblematic of liberalism to the right wing, although I think they are really moderates.

So here we have it--so let me say it--Ann Coulter is not a transexual. She is not gay. She may very well be hetero and even normal and not really religiously uptight in bed. She may have the most normal sexual habits any forty-something attractive woman might very well proudly claim. She goes to church and prays and is not a very bad person who does immoral things--not torture nor usury nor even campaign finance fraud. She's an exemplar of how one might live as a conservative. She daily preaches her gospel.

She is, nonetheless, wrong about everything, an incalculably sloppy writer, a plagiarist, a ideologue, a worshipper at the altar of discredited idols (like McCarthy) and every day that passes, she does in fact get older.

For a woman who loves to put her mug on the first page of her books, this may well be enough.

[Phredicles]

17. She goes to church? That's not what I heard.

There's a story I'm far too lazy to track down from when her latest book came out that the church in New York she claimed as the one she regularly attends had never seen her. Now, what's so friggin' godly about that?

[IndianaGreen]

14. MSNBC is showing now the rerun of tonight's Olbermann show

if you want to catch Keith's slam down of Coulter.

[meow2u3]

15. I think Thrax ought to come out of the closet

Methinks Coultergeist is a closet lezzy accusing straight Democrats of being gay.

[Vidar]

16. I've heard ll about the trannie stuff, but where does the virgin

accusation come from?

[Generator]

24. Well don't you think someone should ask her?

She's a 45 year old unmarried woman. She thinks sex is immoral unless married, feminists are immoral and she's unmarried. I would HOPE she's a virgin! Otherwise she's GODLESS (by her own standards) and she's got some explaining to do. If you aren't a feminist and are childless and unmarried at 45-and think you have a religious duty to bear children and not have sex except for procreating then hmmmm why doesn't someone ask her? She gets to slam all the decent humans that actually get married, fail at marriage and have children-like the 9/11 widows who have children and whom get to read that she thinks that their mom's are happy daddy died on national TV burning alive. What a Christian she is!

Wow. I think the least the fucking media could DO is ask Ann Coulter why she's not married, where the kids are and make DAMN sure she is a virgin or heh-stop talking to worthless hypocrical hatemongers.

[Vidar]

25. Very good rant. Thanks for the response,

[Donald Ian Rankin]

18. Much as I hate to say it,

A considerable higher proportion of the criticism directed at Coulter by liberals turns on her personal appearance than is the case with her male opposite numbers like Limbaugh or O'Reilly. I don't regard the remark quoted in the OP as either funny or clever; her political opinions and cavalier attitude to facts give more than enough room to skewer her.

[Dervill Crow]

21. IMNSHO O'Reilly is far uglier.

I'm not a beauty queen, either, but Coulter, et al, seem to be the kind of unattractive that starts on the inside and oozes its way out.

[Phredicles]

22. I dunno; there's Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a Big FAT idiot", and

certainly I've taken as much delight as anyone in referring to the inordinately high lard content of his ass.

[Irreverend IX]

32. No one rags on Limbaugh's appearance?

You must not read much Bartcop. Rush has been known as the Pigboy in many liberal circles for a long time; I'd say his critics target his appearance a lot more often than Coulter's do. O'Reilly isn't picked on for his looks as much, but Al Franken did write the "Lying, Splotchy Bully" chapter in his book about him. And keep in mind that Coulter's appearance, with her short skirts and stilettos, is a big part of the image she trades on, so I see no reason not to attack it.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

20. Coulter's a vile, hateful person.

I'm still not going to insult her physical appearance. I think we're better than that. She looks like she might have medical issues, but that's up to her, her family, and medical professionals. Not my concern.

[Paladin]

23. Her Supposed Physical Attractiveness Is A Vital Factor

If you don't believe it, catch a Coulter-related thread on Lucianne.com or some other conservative site, and witness all the right-wing douchebags salivating about their blonde goddess. Her looks allow her to shoot her mouth off any way she pleases, therefore, those looks are open for attack, as far as I'm concerned. And please spare me the "Let's not sink to their level" drivel, OK? The present Democratic revival didn't kick into gear until a lot of us got really angry and began confronting these jerks down in the gutters where they reside. The notion that Democrats have to make nicey-nice is a trait that our enemies depend upon and use against us. Wise up. And fuck you, Ann, where you breathe...

[Iniquitous Bunny]

It's not about making nice.

It's about the issues, not someone's physical appearance. I have no problem attacking them on the issues. If some conservative men find her attractive, I highly doubt the "ugly Man Coulter" commentary will persuade them either way. She found her niche by preaching to the choir of the hateful people who believe the garbage she vomits up for them. If they find her attractive, it may add to it, but if she joins the Democratic Party tomorrow and starts working for NOW and Amnesty (not that I think this will actually happen), they'll abandon her quickly.

It's not like anything she says or any way her appearance is (or is perceived to be) is going to convert a bunch of Conservatives. Is it?

When it comes to women, it always seems to boil down to this in a way it doesn't with men. I'm sick of it.

[Paladin]

28. It's NOT Just About The Issues. You Ought To Know Better.

As if right-wing street fighters like Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly confine themselves to a principled discussion of the issues. Puh-leese.

We can worry about persuading and converting conservatives sometime in the future. Right now, we need to bloody their noses and disabuse them of the notion that we're a bunch of gutless pushovers. I say it again: this whole "We've Got To Be Nicer Than They Are" attitude is something they rely upon to kneecap us with, over and over again. I'm not willing to be a punching bag anymore, and I've got lots of company.

And the comments about Coulter's appearance are in direct proportion to the outrageousness of her statements, and to the well-known fact that right-wingers drool over her looks. Laura Bush, Condi Rice, Libby Dole, Kaye Bailey Hutchison---none of these conservative women are subject to such commentary. And hey---is John Bolton's moustache stupid looking, or what???

[Iniquitous Bunny]

30. Don't patronize me.

"You ought to know better." :eyes:

Not being a wuss has far more to do with electing Democrats that do not continually cave in the halls of Congress than calling Ann Coulter names based on physical appearance. You entirely missed my point, but sexism is ok when an end justifies the means I guess? If people want to make some joke about her appearance in the Lounge, I'm much more tolerant, but to do so here and to think that it has anything to do with strength in our party is ludicrous.

[Paladin]

31. And What You Deem To Be Sexist Comments....

...are OK, as long as we confine them to the Lounge?

Tell you what: if Ann Coulter ever settles down and starts dealing with the issues, as opposed to the non-stop issuing of filthy, destructive comments that land her on TV shows and sell her books, I'll agree with you. Until then, she deserves what she gets. At the risk of another patronization rap, if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention....

[Iniquitous Bunny]

26. delete

dupe

[Clark2008]

27. That's just odd.

I know there's a certain percentage of men (and women) who find boney, bleach-blondes attractive, but to have a whole ton of men (and women) on the right find her attractive is just plain weird.

Maybe that's part of the right's, well, um, "affliction." They find the faux and starving beautiful.

My husband thinks she's freaky looking and not attractive at all. And he's a liberal.

[LynneSin]

29. Seriously, if this woman is the good devout Christian she is

Then what I want to know is:

1.) Is she seriously a virgin who believes in Abstinence
2.) Why has she gone 45 years without getting married when she claims the purpose of women is to serve men
3.) Why does she drink and smoke?
4.) Why doesn't she attend Church (The church she claims to attend doesn't even know who she is)
5.) Why isn't she nice to other people - like Jesus was?

[izzie]

33. I just do not get Couter even when I get pass the

fright wig and fake boobs and I hear what she is talking about I have to say she is just silly. Course I have yet to read her books. For all I know she may be a match set to Bush's thinking but I have not read her stuff yet.
