The Strange and Astonishing Ann Coulter
Pundit wannabe Ann Coulter has made many erroneous and inflammatory comments over the last few years. Nevertheless, the networks and cable news keep inviting her back despite her low credibility. But even Fox News may be getting tired of her nonsense; Think Progress has the story:
Perhaps Ann Coulter could explain her comments to the victims of 9/11. I imagine the British, Spanish and a few other folks around the world take a dim view of her comments about Osama bin Laden. It's a bit like saying terrorism is irrelevant.
As for her comments about Afghanistan, there have been more American deaths in the last two years than the first two years. Afghanistan was winnable until the Decider-in-Chief decided to take us to Iraq and put Afghanistan on the back burner. The more Ann Coulter speaks, the more ridiculous she makes Republicans look. Perhaps Bush ought to distance himself from her strange and astonishing punditry.
Last night on Hannity and Colmes, guest host Kirsten Powers confronted Ann Coulter about President Bush’s failure to capture Osama Bin Laden and the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
Coulter responded, “As for catching Osama, it’s irrelevant. Things are going swimmingly in Afghanistan.” Powers blasted Coulter for her answer. Coulter then abruptly decided to end her participation in the middle of the segment, saying, “OK, well, good night! It was nice being here.”

Ah, but saying shocking, incendiary, acid, insulting, shrewish, attention-getting things is Coulter's schtick. She thus generates buzz, sells books and gets booked on Fox and elsewhere, so she can perpetuate the cycle.
Red-meat vendors like Fox keep hold of the eyeballs of right-wing hard cases through her appearances. Supposedly middle-of-road vendors like CNN have her on, then tut-tut and say ooh, what she said in mock shock after having thus made a bid for the eyeballs of right-wing hard cases.
It's a racket all the way around.
Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you no evil thing will
To see her is to take a sudden chill
She's like a spider waiting for the kill
Look out for Cruella De Vil
At first you think Cruell's a devil
But after time has worn away the shock
You come to realize
you've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath a rock [as a science teacher I actually like THAT kind of newt!]
This vampire bat, this inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up and never released [after a fair trial, of course]
The world was such a wholesome place [in relative terms, of course]
untilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Cruella, Cruella De Vil
