Ann Coulter

Shite disturber extraordinaire.   I feel sorry for people who take her seriously.

Ann Coulter is a persona, people.  The only thing about her that makes her different than, say, Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert is that she's not funny.  But she is a person who has gotten wealthy playing the role of the wicked witch, and she has a large following of simpletons who lap up the vitriol and hyperbole.  The people who find her offensive (who are legion, methinks) think that loud and vocal opposition to her comments and ideas (whoa! giving her a lot of credit with the 'ideas' thing) will somehow shut her up or damage her are *precisely* wrong.  They might as well start appending "ka - ching!" to every negative headline she garners, because that's the business model.

The locals she spoke to recently paid ten bucks to hear her off-the-wall comments for an hour.  Ten bucks.  I think about a couple hundred showed up.  That's 2 grand - not exactly enough to make a living on the rubber chicken circuit is it? More promotion is required in order get larger crowds and jack up those ticket prices, ergo she starts fanning the flames.  Like good little minions, we all start chipping in with our outrage, the press and the blogs go wild, and bingo! 

I think we should all get a cut of the door for helping out the ungrateful bitch.
