Yes, it's another Ann Coulter diary!
I have long heard that Ann Coulter, the Princess of Darkness, is too fringe, too out there to be mainstream. That her rhetoric is too wacky, too inflammatory to appeal to the masses ... that she'd never find a niche outside of Fox News or the occasional Bill Maher appearance.
Sorry folks ... this evil hag is here to stay, it seems.
Exhibit A: A column by ESPN.com's Jim Caple ...
Ann Coulter on Sports
An innocuous column by an obscure columnist buried on "Page 2" of the website ... surely nothing to worry about, right? No, but still, the Queen of the Shrill just snuck into the biggest sports website in the world. It's a tad disconcerting.
Next, the setup to the Great Satan's appearance on "The Tonight Show."
Carlin, Coulter in 'Tonight' smackdown?
As anyone who watched it knows, nothing happened. There was barely a murmur from the crowd when Leno read the infamous "Jersey Girls" comment, and Carlin, who leans pretty far to the left, gave Coulter all the room in the world to spew her bile.
If you're on "The Tonight Show," you've made it, you are no longer some fringe pundit. David Horowitz has never been on "The Tonight Show." Nor has Bob Novak (that would be fun!). Nor has Peggy Noonan. Nor has Adam Yoshida, although I think he's so whacked they wouldn't let him in the country.
She's becoming the go-to freak-show glamour queen for right-wing punditry. Don't believe me? Check this shit out:
Being Outrageous: Is There Bad Publicity?
In the 48 hours after Ann Coulter's comments bashing Sept. 11 widows hit the airwaves last week, searches for her name on Yahoo rocketed by 2300 percent. Protests came from Hillary Clinton, the 9/11 commission, New York's governor and Fox host Bill O'Reilly. Her new book shot to No. 1 on Amazon.com, where it remains.
Yeah, we all know the reason her books sell so well is that sites like Newsmax buy up shitloads of them and give them away. But that's irrelevant.
My point to this? That people post diaries about her and we get the "Oh, no, not another Ann Coulter diary!" response. Well, the fact is that she's a growing force, and that people unfamiliar with her are being drawn in by the Marilyn Manson shock value she presents.
So get the word out, Kossacks. Any time we hear the name Ann Coulter, it's on us to inform the less politcally savvy among our friends and neighbors who this vile shrew is.
It's time to yank the rug out from under this bitch.
