The State-worshipping warmonger known as Ann Coulter has struck again.<\/a> Defending the White House from allegations that it’s policy of issuing ‘press passes’ is partisan, Coulter suggests that “that old Arab” Helen Thomas is allowed in. That wasn’t really a response to the charge, which, as I have noted, was of partisanship, IE. left vs. right. What does Thomas’s Lebanese descendancy have to do with … but never mind. All Coulter was trying to do was generate publicity for herself, to sell more garbage-er I mean books<\/a> to glazed-eyed Fundies.
\nCoulter is to political commentary what Madonna is to music. Their real talents are in stirring up hypocritical outrage to sell … dare I call it music and literature?
\nThomas’s credentials are infinitely superior to Coulter’s, of course, and the 84 year-old Thomas has Coulter beat in another way; physical attractiveness. What sort of a creature is Coulter anyway? I’ve studied her image, on TV and in pictures, and I’ve decided that she’s not human, or female in any sense that I know the terms. She makes Karen Carpenter look fat. If I saw Coulter standing nearby, I’d have to start looking for the mothership.
\nRather than a human being, I think Coulter is a physical manifestation of the fear and hatred inspired by neoconservatism, worldwide. Perhaps if we ignore her, like a failed marketing slogan, she’ll go away. I will try to do so, from now on, but I can’t guarantee results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
