Ann Coulter Ecstatic: Enemies Stoke Sales— ‘They’re Like My Pets’

The New York Observer ^ | June 26, 2006 | George Gurley

June was a very good month for Ann Coulter. Was it a good one for her millions of enemies and the future of the world? Hard to say.

On June 6, the day her fifth book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, arrived in bookstores, Ms. Coulter appeared on NBC’s The Today Show. The conversation with Matt Lauer began as a civil debate, but a barely concealed gleam in Mr. Lauer’s eyes suggested the host had a poison arrow waiting in his quiver.

And then it flew: His last question concerned a section in her book about the four 9/11 widows who dubbed themselves the “Jersey Girls,” and who became national figures for demanding an investigation into how the Bush administration might have prevented 9/11 and who later campaigned for John Kerry. In her book, Ms. Coulter calls them the “witches of East Brunswick,” describing them as Democratic Party pawns sent out onto the political stage because of their victim status, as “messengers whom we’re not allowed to reply to,” let alone criticize.

Mr. Lauer read Ms. Coulter’s words: “These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.”

This is a long and totally enjoyable account of Gurley's interview of our girl Ann. Enjoy the read.

Andrew Sullivan ran eight Coulter items on his blog, calling her “a drag-queen-fascist-impersonator.”

Man, what a drama queen.

[Sloth]

Even conservatives got in on the spanking. Bill O’Reilly called her “over the top.” Andrew Sullivan ran eight Coulter items on his blog, calling her “a drag-queen-fascist-impersonator.”

O'Reilly & Sullivan? Conservative, my butt.

[theDentist]

My brother (very very Conservative) considers O'Reilly a Liberal. My cousin, and extremely left-wing Liberal, considers O'Reilly a Conservative. I think I'm right: Middle of the Road.

As to Ann, she's laughing all the way to the bank!

She was wearing a black, belly-revealing tank top, tight jeans and black boots. Sunglasses. We sat down.

Yummy.

My wife had an "Enquirer" the other day, so (of course) I had to read it, and in between the story of Victoria Principal being beaten up by her husband and Janet Jackson's amazing weight loss, there was a big Coulter-bash. I thought, "That's another 5,000 sales, right there."

"because I read The New York Times like a Kremlinologist reading Pravda"

Heh Heh!
Gotta love that.

[Darkwolf377]

I met Ann for lunch at the top of the stairs of Serafina restaurant on the Upper East Side. She was wearing a black, belly-revealing tank top, tight jeans and black boots.

Type slower.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be invited over to Al Franken’s Riverside Drive apartment again for another two-hour reprogramming session.

Hysterical! Gurley can write. Thanks for posting.

Ann doesn't have a job and can't be fired. She doesn't have a talk show program. She sells only one product, her books.
The rest of us have the shackles of PC preventing us from saying what we think. Ann will say it for us. So the right thing to do is to buy her book.

[patriot_wes]

Golly!.......and brains too.

[libstripper]

Best of all, in addition to the sales that make Ann rich (You go, girl!!), tens of thousands of people are going to read her book and learn more about what a complete pile of dishonest rot liberalism is than they ever would have learned otherwise. Not only that, but they're going to have endless fun doing it because she's such a screamingly funny author.

[The Louiswu]

I've read this book and there is so much more in it than just that one sentance the Lib media harps about. I cannot understand why there is so little discussion about the rest of the book.

[Jameison]

"Has The Times reviewed your book yet?

“No, but they’ve done a lot of reviewing me and how I look in a cocktail dress. Ha-ha!”"

Heh Heh!
Take that Slimes!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

A beautiful, competent woman is impersonating a drag queen? Sullivan needs to move into the real world.

[G.Mason]

" ... The rest of us have the shackles of PC preventing us from saying what we think. Ann will say it for us. So the right thing to do is to buy her book."

Yeah ... we wouldn't want to get some gonads and tell it like it is.

We'll let the girls do our talking for us.

BTTT

[Jameison]

"Sullivan needs to move into the real world."

Maybe, Sullivan's real world is probably full of drag queens.
Poor guy doesn't know any better.
