I had serious moral quandries about writing this blog post, because I think that Ann Coulter is the last person who deserves more attention from anyone in the media, regardless of how insignificant. But now I've come to accept Ann for what she is--the Right's best comedian. She's not a pundit, she's not a policy person...she's just an entertainer. Forget the "1/2 Hour News Hour"; she is the conservatives' conduit of comedy. Unfortunately her humor is the schtickiest there is. Un-P.C.-ness is her one trick pony, which is why liberals don't find her funny...and in turn why she is a smashing success with begrieved conservatives.

At her speech today, which had less substance than cotton candy, she heralded Mitt Romney as the best Republican presidential candidate, because Giuliani and McCain are too liberal. Then she criticized the RNC for denouncing NYU and U. Michigan's "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" game. During the Q&A, after some guy said that "Godless" was second only to the Bible as the best book he'd ever read, she really let loose the zingers:

"College Republicans are like conservatives in North Korea."

On how to obliterate apathy on a college campus: "Start a Joe McCarthy Club."

On girls involved in conservative campus activism: "Unlike in the liberal movements, you might actually meet a nice heterosexual boy."

"I was going to say something about John Edwards, but I heard that if you use the word 'faggot' you end up in rehab." (I would find this funny, if I was homophobic). 

"Democrats don't like blacks, yet blacks keep voting for them!...Our blacks are more impressive than their blacks" (Are we fighting over toys here?).

"Why aren't all gays conservative? We're anti-tax and anti-crime. Gays make tons of money and are victims of crimes!"



That's all I got. Thank you, you've been a great audience, don't forget to tip your waitress.
