They didn't need to, it already was a biting joke. That's Ann's way, she of the sharp tongue.

Watch Ann Coulter's (unofficial) CPAC Speech
Best-selling author and columnist Ann Coulter elaborated to Conservative Political Action Conference participants why she said she would campaign for Democrat Hillary Clinton for president over Republican John McCain.
“She won’t want to be the first girl President who loses a war… and she [Hillary] would actually enjoy torture in Guantanamo,” Coulter said in a Friday afternoon speech at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C.
The event was held at the CPAC convention hall, but not sponsored by CPAC-- largely because of controversial remarks she made at the convention last year about former North Carolina Senator John Edwards.
Instead, it was organized by Citizens United, Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, Human Events, Young America’s Foundation and Townhall. It was not held in the main ballroom where President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney spoke earlier in the conference, but in a room nearby.
More than 500 people attended the event. Many of audience members wore large stickers that said “I want Ann Coulter” implying they wished she was permitted to speak on the main ballroom floor.
“We love you, Ann!” several audience members shouted as she approached the podium.
”As this speech indicates Ann Coulter is the most popular speaker CPAC had in modern time,” said YAF spokesman Jason Mattera.
Coulter tried to bring cheer to conservatives who dread a second Clinton Administration
“If Hillary gets elected at least we’ll get the silverware back!” she quipped.
In her remarks, Coulter said she was certain McCain would not nominate any judges for the Supreme Court “without checking with his good friend Teddy Kennedy.”
“I don’t think my girl Hillary is going to listen to Teddy Kennedy anymore!” Coulter said, taking a shot at Kennedy’s decision to endorse Obama over Clinton.
Coulter compared McCain to former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who also service in the military. Coulter noted Democrats believed Kerry would win because, “Oh, he’s a war hero.”
“That’ll work,” Coulter said sarcastically. “I predict our strategy will work as well as it did for the Democrats.”
Coulter noted Barack Obama’s popularity briefly. She said his biggest selling point was “he is one of the least dangerous people I know named Hussein.”
“His first big accomplishment was being born half-black,” Coulter said. “He wouldn’t be running for President if he weren’t half-black.’
She said she would be able to help Clinton’s campaign because “I actually know some black people.”
She is all about being politically corrects.
She is a Hillary supporter is she not?
When a person gets to the point where Hillary is acceptable
as President, well you’re a liberal.
True....
“Hitler jokes”
A Berlin joke, circa early 1945: “The English planes are blue, the Americans, silver. In his great wisdom, our glorious Fuhrer Adolf Hitler has made our planes invisible!”
An FR joke, circa fall 2008: “The Democrats are blue. The Republicans, red. In his great wisdom, our fearless leader John McCain has made conservatives invisible!”
Ann has learned that when she seriously attacks the issues, she loses young viewers and becomes the target for media attacks that the MSM so desperately crave.
I imagine that the lady is in something of the same quandary may of us share.
being known as a right wing attack babe and announcing you not only won't vote for the anointed republican - but will vote for person you've opposed for sixteen years, has got to put you a bit off your game. It's enough of a burden for us 'little folks'.
Whether the jokes were good or bad (they read OK to me) I only wish that "our party" was wise enough to pay attention because no matter who wins or how they do it, running McCain will provide a new definition for the word 'remorse'.
YOU have just described McCain... now why should not followers of the maverick be like him? HMMMMM?
You're right. She shouldn't be in close proximity to any McCainiacs at CPAC.
Think of that next time before you post such an obnoxiusly stupid comment.
I love Ann Coulter. She speaks the Truth, and is on the outs for that. The silverware joke is the best.
They didn't need to, it already was a biting joke. That's Ann's way, she of the sharp tongue.

Woo! That's gonna leave a mark...
Hilarious, true, and damning. Truly the satirical trifecta.
Gawd.
Definitely give that gal something to eat. :-)
bump for later
I agree. Political correctness has so infected Republicans, they're afraid to laugh. "I’m not comparing McCain to Hitler. Hitler had a coherent tax policy.” Now that's funny.
Oooooh. She said "Hilter". She said "faggot". She said Obama was black. She's mean.
Pissants? Spineless, gutless, can't-we-all-just-get-along weenies is what they are. If we had someone like Reagan today, they'd probably say he was too extreme.
Her material was good, her delivery was off. Don’t know if she was not feeling well or was underprepared or what. Not one of her best efforts but I enjoyed it. Espically the question and answer part. One young man, who apprently purposed marriage to her when she was on Harball last year asked her if she would change her mind on John McCain if he was elected and did this or that solidly Conservative things.
She shot back “If McCain does all that, I will marry you”. It was priceless
Ann Coulter’s act is wearing very thin. A few outrageous, hyperbolic comments judiciously placed can be entertaining and incisive; her non-stop fountainhead of such just seems angry and wearisome. I’m increasingly not interested in what she has to say.
“When a person gets to the point where Hillary is acceptable
as President, well you’re a liberal.”
As Ann would reply, that’s like saying that Churchill was a communist because he made an alliance with Stalin.
She’s saying we should save the Republican Party if we can, and hope for better days.
