Why I love Ann Coulter

January 13, 2009 · Posted in People in the news, Personal Blogs, Political Figures, Politics, RNC · 6 Comments 

Yep, I enjoy her existence. I don’t particularly care for her persona, her constant desire to be in the limelight or the depths to which she will stoop to be the center of attention, and I certainly don’t agree with a thing she says. So why do I love her?

She’s a constant reminder of why I love my country.

I’m not sure that Ann Coulter has even made a point without bending and stretching the truth as if facts were one of those stress relieving items that just have no purpose in life unless they are twisted and crunched into an unrecognizable mess, but my point is that she can. Her credibility seems to be directly related to the size of her big brass balls. She’s like a bull in the china-shop of truth who after her Tasmanian-devil style rant, comes out with perfectly coiffed hair – no worse for the wear.

She has an audience, her books sell. I’m not sure if anyone actually believes the crap she spews out, but thanks to good ol’ American capitalism, she’s a success.

Not surprising, she has a new book out and she she’s on a press tour for it. Sometimes I think she churns out the books not so much to educate anyone on a particular subject, but merely for the fact of having something to talk about so can go on these press tours. She revels in the arguments she gets into with the liberal media and she tosses her blond tresses in a manner that shows she’s not really listening to the interviewer but knows that her points are crap so she expects the questions and has canned answers ready when she hears key words from the host. But again, she has an audience. Those who love her for her big cojones , and those who hate her existence. She thrives off both.

Truth be told, I can’t watch an interview with her without yelling at the TV. But I watch anyway for a few reasons:

1. Makes me appreciate the fact I’m not in a political group for whom she is a talking head. I couldn’t fathom being a part of an organization or movement that relied on her to get any message across. Her fact-tangling approach to most issues removes any credibility she may have on any relevant agenda item.

2. Gives me things to think about when I’m in a political discussion. Her mannerisms and approach are so polarizing that it’s almost like a “what not to do when trying to make a point and be taken seriously’ seminar.

3. Her confidence. We can learn from her ability to look you straight in the eyes and tell you the sun is bitterly cold and scoff at you when you point out scientific proof that it is, in fact hot, you liberal idiot.

4. I’m rubber and you’re glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you, you liberal idiot.

5. She is taking full advantage of her American rights and I hope she truly appreciates it. Nevermind the fact that she’s the two steps back for each step forward good, smart female political pundits  have made (on both sides, thank you) I really hope that she appreciates and thanks whatever god her close-minded little heart worships that someone decided to give  Republican Barbie a microphone and there are people who believe her outrageousness, just because it sounds so far out there, it must be true.

A few of her wonderfully classy quotes:

“I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.” –at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference

“These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much.” -on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration (note: nobody, except of course her, who is cashing in on slamming them)

“We need to execute people like (John Walker Lindh) in order to physically intimidate liberals.” (note: she calls Obama ‘B. Hussein Obama’ because of the fear that name instills but you notice she’ll use Walker Lindh and not refer to Bush as ‘G. Walker Bush’”)

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.”  – Days after September 11 attacks

“Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots.”
“Press passes can’t be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President.” (note: I find this particularly nasty, its because of women like Ms. Thomas who helped pave the way for women in political reporting)

Seriously Ann, stay classy. And thanks for reminding me how free this country still is.

16722 books to go and he will be in the tax bracket he worked to save

If you have “2 weeks” in the office pool of how long it would take Joe The Plumber Sam Wurzelbacher to write his long-awaited book, you win!

It was announced that Joe the Plumber will release a book extolling his version of American values.

A small Texas-based publisher is releasing his book”Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream”

“Everyone came at me to write a book. They had dollar signs in their eyes,” he told Fox News. “”You know I will get behind something solid, but I won’t get behind fluff. I won’t cash in, and when people do read the book they will figure out that I didn’t cash in. At least I hope they figure that out.”

He went on to say that he’s strapped for cash and in essence, he’s broke.

Hmmmm, but then he also said he chose a small publishing house in order to “spread the wealth”. (damn socialist).  His book looks like it will be listed for $14.95

I just really hope that he doesn’t attempt to describe international relations, the nation of Israel, local politics, finances, or licensed plumbing. But its probably pretty thorough -  it took what, like 2 weeks to write it, so I’m sure nothing was rushed, every point was very well thought out and articulated in the most accurate, honest way possible.

Special offer: When you purchase a “Freedom Membership” for $19.95 by going to SecureOurDream.com, you acquire full access to Joe’s restricted forum and receive one complimentary autographed copy of Joe The Plumber, Fighting For The American Dream.

(and no, I don’t get a referral fee for that)
