New Year, Same Ann Coulter
It's 2005, and Ann Coulter is still Ann Coulter, cuttingly witty, always ready with devastating comments about liberals and Democrats, who she says are pretty much the same, and still capable of inflicting deep wounds in the twisted psyches of both species.
In a recent interview with the New York Observer published in the current issue, Ann displayed her utter contempt for political correctness, firing verbal salvos at the nation's most sacred cows and complimenting Bill Clinton on being "a very good rapist."
The interview was vintage Coulter, and here are some of the highlights:
On liberals - "I sort of like liberals now. They’re kind of cute when they’re shivering and afraid. They’re so pathetic and sad. They can’t come up with a fight. I mean, if the best you’re going to give me to argue about is Rumsfeld’s auto-pen ..."
On the peace-loving left - "Forget what they say, they are violent. They were slashing tires on Election Day. I was physically attacked this year. It is a funny thing, that they ended up in prison—enjoying the benefits of gay marriage. Let ’em try it again, they’ll end up dead."
On Democrats - She's rooting for the Nancy Pelosi faction of the Democratic Party ("I think this is the dominant faction," she says) taking the position that Democratic ideas are fine - no need to change anything, even though the Dems got stomped on Election Day. Mocking Pelosi, Coulter lampoons, "We just need to advertise RU-486 at NASCAR or something — that’ll do the trick!"
"Democrats always have these open public discussions on how they can fake out the American people, so that’s one wing — 'Let’s not tell them what we believe' — and the other wing is, 'Our message is perfect.'"
On why 2004 was a great year - "I’m thinking about putting up a reward on my Web page for any liberal who will mention either Afghanistan or the Kurds. I mean, 85 percent of Iraq is free ... Kurds are free, are happy, are dancing in the streets, and liberals simply won’t mention them. They’ve had elections and women vote, and they didn’t vote for some crazy, lunatic mullahs. So that’s a pretty good year."
On Iraq, where Christmas wasn't very merry - "We’re going to transform the Middle East by the time Bush leaves office, or it will be within shouting distance of there. I think Arabs flying planes into our skyscrapers will be as likely as a Japanese kamikaze pilot."
On North Korea - "I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning ... despite that wonderful peace deal Madeline Albright negotiated with the North Koreans, six seconds before they feverishly began developing nuclear weapons. They’re a major threat. I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world."
On another invasion - "Iran. Though that’s the beauty part of Iraq: It may well not be necessary."
On President Bush - "We have a President who can do what he thinks is right, whether or not there are a bunch of liberals carping, and no matter what the letter writers to The New York Times have to say about being ashamed for their country."
On Hilary Clinton - If the Dems nominated her for president "it would be a lot of fun. The advantage Hillary has is the crazies — which is to say, the base of the Democratic party — love her, adore her, no matter what she says or does. She can come out for curbing illegal immigration. She could come out for parental notification and against partial-birth abortion and the crazies will still say, ‘No, she’s our gal. She is Madame Hillary.’"
Asked if she had a perverse admiration for Hillary, Coulter shrieked: "Ewwww, no. As with John Kerry, I generally don’t admire people who get ahead on somebody else’s coattails. She’s like the anti-feminist. No, except she isn’t — because all feminists behave that way and pretend to be, ‘Oh, I’m a strong woman.’ They’re all weak and pathetic ... "
On a possible TV show - With Al Franken? "No, he’s physically repulsive. I have friends I trust who are smart who would put together a good TV show, and I can tell you straight out, we’ve basically given up. There is no liberal worthy of debating me, and I won’t do a TV show unless I have a liberal counterpart." With Maureen Dowd? "No. I promise you, she wouldn’t do it — she’s whiny, she’s not funny. What we’re looking for is good-looking, male, liberal, half a brain. They don’t even have to be smart.
Who, then? "The one person I really want to sit down with and figure out why he thinks he’s a liberal is Larry David [co-creator of "Seinfeld," star of HBO's hilariously nasty "Curb Your Enthusiasm"] ... that’s the most brilliant TV show — it is conservative humor, and you can’t tell me it’s not. It’s all politically incorrect. And people I know who’ve worked with him say he’s really sweet, so there is nothing about him that should make him a liberal — and yet he flew from Los Angeles to Boston to sit at the Democratic National Convention. He can’t be a liberal! I would bet you anything if Larry David were 20 years old, he would be a right-wing lunatic."
On what to remember about Bill Clinton - "Well, he was a very good rapist. I think that should not be forgotten. I don’t think it’s fading.
"Clinton talk[ed] on the phone with Congressmen about sending American troops to the Balkans while being serviced by Monica Lewinsky under the desk. And liberals didn’t mind that — but they’re upset that George Bush waited 48 hours to fly back from Crawford, Tex." to make any announcements about tsunami relief.
On Rudy Giuliani - "I love Guiliani, but I just think he needs to switch his position on abortion. We’re a pro-life party. And I don’t think half the country realizes he claims to be pro-choice. These New York Republicans, they don’t have a feel for the red states like I do. They say, ‘Oh, now, we could run a pro-choice candidate and that would get moderates in the Northeast to vote for us — and those right-wing Christians, they’ll vote for us anyway.’ No, they won’t!"
On what it was like to spend Christmas in New York - "Oh, it was so much fun this year, because saying ‘Merry Christmas’ is like saying ‘F... you!’ I’ve said it to everyone. You know, cab drivers, passing people on the street, whatever. And they come up with the ‘Happy holidays.’ ‘Merry Christmas,’ I mean, it really is an aggressive act in New York."
Applewhite or Hack?
ROTFLMAO....
Hackworthless of course..and he always wears a Black Turtleneck.
Something *very* wrong with that guy!
Why did you get a book autographed by him? I went out of my way to avoid Bob Barr when he was signing books at the convention this past summer.
=== As a Veteran, I am most especially appalled at her comparing Hackworthless to Ann Coulter.
That's because you have a problem with reading into my posts things that just aren't there. This could be because you're a woman or sumpin', I don't know.
The folks I mentioned were specifically chosen not for their respective soapboxes, style or substance but SOLELY because once upon a time they were popular among the right in general (and this site in particular) but they all became pariahs of a sort once the Executive Branch changed hands.
No need to get all offended ... as a veteran or otherwise. The taking of offense is a sure sign of the End Times, after all ... regardless how popular it's become among those Special Interest Groups or "hate crime" trial attorneys who've made a bidness out of it.
(4'11"? What do 4'11" waifs do in the military?)
Someone I worked with gave it to me as a special gift for a project I did for him.
I did not want to insult him by telling him how I really felt about WOrthless.
We went to the bookstore at work, met him and he signed the book for me.
My world ain't ending yet toots...not to worry....
4'11" waifs who are in the army do lots of things..
I did typing, and processed personnel paperwork, pay actions, telephone operator, Overseas Deployment briefings...all kinds of neat stuff.
Maybe you can unload it on Ebay? It doesn't seem to be worth much (surprise!), but maybe you can get a few bucks: http://search.ebay.com/hackworth_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8
In Ms. Coulter's case, I'm sure it was hyperbole. If not, maybe she was referring to Yucca Flats. Then again, maybe she was...*
I'm sure that many Muslims thought that 9-11 was a load of fun too.
They did. In many Arab and Muslim countries. Demonstrating in the streets and handing out candy.
*...serious, or Ms. Coulter may believe that sometimes thick headed people learn better with a demonstration.

And they have kids, so there must have been some boinking going at some time.
I work at an Army post. One woman was a soldier during Desert Storm, and deployed there. She was an outside lineman. Climbed poles for comm and power lines. For years she was a civilian outside electrician for the Army. Now she's an inside technician, she keeps up with our computers.
Who is about 5 feet tall, maybe less.
Your replies are always better than mine. I would have simply said, "Meeeeeeow!!!!" ; )
It's my understanding that women are better "designed" to be pilots ... just curious.
It's a tough call for me. Very pro-military Army brat and all but I never figured it was my place to join up, really.
Have you ever read my "Mothers in Combat Boots" post? I'd like to know what you think of all that. I think of all the points made in the article (or added, by me, in quotes which dispel notions of my being a misogynist =), the one that disturbs me the most is the quote from Barbara Pope.
You probably know who Barbara Pope is. She was "reactivated" after a fashion by George W. What's interesting to me is that she shows up as some Navy manpower secretary of some sort after EIGHT years of Reagan and during the FOUR years of Bush I and makes the comment that "we are trying to weed out the white male as norm" in the military.
That -- along with the direct quotes from Bush I as part of the GOP's Task Force on Earth Resources & Population which laid the groundwork for "leftist" environmentalism, corporate governance, abortion, birth control and other insididiously draconion "educational" measures of State population control -- is one of those red herrings which I cannot seem to rationalize somehow.
I've tried for years now to get some of the more ardent GOP supporters around here to explain these events and quotes or point out to me where any of them were renounced in the least but ... I'm still waiting.
OK. how about Michael Moore?
Good job, you really turned things around on the dummy Coulter.No one anywhere, EVER will reach your intellectual heights!
Everyone is so far beneath you, I am suprized you can see anyone else.
I am in awe.
You can save trite replies like this for the Deep Thinkers and Ardent Conservatives like Ann Coulter who thrive on rimshots, snaps and the Boo|Hiss of your average Mellerdrammer member of the Peanut Gallery who agree it's she uses "Merry Christmas" as her big "F&ck You."
who agree it's A RIOT she uses "Merry Christmas" as her big "F&ck You."
