CO Gov. Fundraiser featuring Coulter nets A DONUT HOLE!!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

(snip)
"We found out the hard way,” says former Beauprez for Gov campaign chief Steve Truebner, “that Ann Coulter is not a major draw for donors.”

Nary a one showed up, according to Truebner, leaving Ms. Coulter and Mrs. Beauprez -- the candidate himself was in D.C., working his day job -- to hobnob in the Paramount’s 2d-floor lobby with about a dozen earnest but penniless campaign volunteers, plus some KOA listeners who’d won free tickets to the Coulter show from the station and just happened to be in the vicinity.

Smiles were flashed, photos were taken, and cheese/crackers were eaten, just like at a real campaign event. The only things missing were the $1,000 checks. (Snip)

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: :spray:

Lesson? Folks with money to spend on candidates KNOW she is a nimrod!

[Sydnie]

1. Couldn't happen to a better speaker!

or worse candidate I assume.

[originalpckelly]

2. ROFFL!!!

Rolling on the fucking floor laughing. :rofl: :rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

3. GOP candidates run away from bush

and get ann coulter to raise funds for them. What Morans!!

[dsc]

4. So actually it was a loss

as the food and stuff cost money. This is too rich.

[struggle4progress]

29. I'd bet the Annhole wanted a fee, too.

[Scairp]

5. That is hilarious

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they began to realize no one was going to show up. Priceless doesn't begin to describe it.

[itzamirakul]

6. God DOES have a sense of humor....LOL

Payback is a BITCH! Especially when it is based on some serious Karma.

[eShirl]

7. but but she's supposed to be a bestselling author!

counting bargain bins and such

[A HERETIC I AM]

14. Damn. I didnt see that one.

[redqueen]

[CatWoman]

12. what the hell is wrong with you people?

:rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

16. you mean "where?"

did this make your day, or WHAT?

did you know.....

I talked to her on the radio for several minutes when Slander came out?

[CatWoman]

17. LOL

Thanks for the correction; I was laughing so hard that I didn't notice :rofl:

:hi:

:loveya:

Did you disinfect yourself afterwards?

[Gabi Hayes]

27. tossed the phone into the turlet....it was fun, though. the host

yelled at me for not axing the question I gave the screener.

I told him it was because they wouldn't have taken my call, duh!

he let me stay on for quite awhile, in radio terms, though. I think he was taken aback at all the lies I read off a website I just happened to have at the ready.

[Ganja Ninja]

13. Like I've said before, we need to treat Ann Coulter like ...

she's the center of the Republiklan universe. She is to conservatism what Fred Phelps is to Christianity.

[struggle4progress]

30. Absolutely right. Quote Ann, but attribute to Republicans:

"Republicans only regret that Timothy McVeigh didn't bomb the New York Times."

[calmblueocean]

35. Definitely!

I love that turn of phrase --- "center of the Republican universe". And she is!

[Deb]

15. A priceless donut hole!

This made my day. :rofl:

[Mandate My Ass]

18. I avoid Ann Coulter threads like the plague

or even worse, like Ann Coulter. She finally made herself irrelevant. What took so long? OMFG! :rofl:

[grannylib]

19. Oh that's priceless...too bad it's Friday; Jon Stewart could have had a

heyday with that one.
Wonder if KO will mention it...bet he will!

It's poetic justice. She's not worth anything.

[Czolgosz]

20. The local Chamber of Commerce is bring that whore to Corpus Christi, Texas

I sincerely hope they get the same groundswell of support.

[samsingh]

21. this is very good news

and immensely deserving

[Ian David]

22. Well, at least nobody hit her with a pie?

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Haha. Terra alert. Everyone was afraid of an Al-Pieda attack.

[Janice325]

24. All I have to say about this is

HA HA HA!!!!! :rofl:
also k&R

[TreasonousBastard]

25. And she asks $25,000 plus expenses to speak, but...

she seems willing to discount the fee.

Not that much, though-- she cost Loyola 24 grand and a riot. Other colleges paid her 16-18,000 plus travel (first class, limo and all, of course)

What she gets for a campaign fundraiser, who knows?

Nothing at all after this, though, I betcha!

[YankeyMCC]

26. Bwwaaahahaha!

[girl gone mad]

28. Of course.

The rich people don't really believe any of her nonsense. Coulter is just a tool they use to get the little people all riled up so they can keep their bought and paid for politicians in power. The elites don't actually want to have anything to do with her.

[AlCzervik]

31. that gives me some hope.

[2008]

32. k&r (nt)

[klook]

33. Hilarious! Thanks for making my day. (n/t)

[Hubert Flottz]

34. HEY...be nise!

I heard it through the grapevine, that the GOP was thinking about running Ann for President in 08! She's about the best they have to offer...
