To Paraphrase SNL: “Ann Coulter, You Ignorant Slut”
Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter referred to John Edwards as a “faggot” recently. She’s been condemned by both Democrats and Republicans as a result.
I think we should go all Howard Stern on her ass.
What I’m proposing is that on every call-in show where Ann is a guest, and every speaking engagement of hers where a Q&A is part of the format, someone should ask, “Y’know, Ann, you kinda look like you’ve got an Adam’s Apple. What’s up with that?”
Now, for this to work, the question has to be asked exactly as I’ve phrased it. We mustn’t lower ourselves to Ann’s level by implying that we think she’s a man. We have no hard evidence to justify that conclusion. This is just an innocent observation: she appears to have an Adam’s Apple and we’re curious about it. I expect Ann to laugh with us. After all, she shrugged off her remark about Edwards by saying it was only a joke. Well, this too is only a joke. Ann would have to be some kind of hypocrite not to appreciate it, and I simply cannot believe that Ann is a hypocrite.
Now, my little blog has only a handful of readers. That’s why I’m asking everyone of a like mind to forward this idea to as many people as possible, and ask them to do the same. I’m not kidding. I loathe chain e-mails but in this case I think the end justifies the means. We need to get the word out. If you think I’m being self-serving, then just send out the text of this blog entry without an indication of where it came from.
This isn’t about me. It’s about poetic justice.
Let’s get cracking, everyone. This is a chance to get on the ground floor of creating a national phenomenon while giving a pompous windbag a taste of her own medicine.

While I’ll gladly take the opportunity to do as you suggest, a better question would be to whoever still invites her on their show–Why?
there was a time, long ago, when I liked her but she quickly turned mean and unfunny. Conservatives should make this their Sista Soulja moment and cut off all ties to this harridan.

Isn’t the title to this thread is kinda redundant? I mean, the first thing I think of when I hear the name Ann Coulter…
I forwarded out your column request, however I do have a few reservations about it.
If enough people do that to her, she’ll just use it to play her usually victim/superiority card. She whine on about how all liberals do is attack her and squawk about how liberals can’t take on her “points” and “positions” and just resort to name calling. Thing is, since most of the shows she goes onto when not shilling for her latest book are shows that are friendly to her with audiences that are friendly to her, this approach may only serve to gain her support with many of her audiences at the time of the attempt.
Hit one or two of her “facts” first. It’s easy enough to find any number of her favorite factually challenged observations on the world, politics, history and reality in general. Then, after you make her look stupid, ask her about her pronounced Adam’s Apple. She may still try and play up her “victimization” by liberals, but you’ll have at least first revealed one of her “facts” to be a joke.

Jerry Chandler: “I forwarded out your column request, however I do have a few reservations about it.”
Allow me to address your concerns:
1. The chances of us actually being able to create a nationwide phenomenon are quite slim.
2. Ann Coulter is going to play up her “victimization” by liberals no matter what we do.
3. You can’t shame someone like Ann Coulter by pointing out where she’s wrong. She’s the type who’d say “up” is “down” for the sole purpose of contradicting a liberal.
4. Ann Coulter is a bully who thrives on forcing her opponents into a reactive posture. I’m suggesting that we stop playing her game and play one of our own.

The thing with Ann Coulter that always comes to mind is an interview I saw on Fox News once where she was wondering why everyone was calling her the sexy whatever. I’m sure the long blond hair and the miniskirts have nothing to do with it. Although, to be honest, I’ve seen moldy cheese with larvae coming out that was more sexually appealing than Ann Coulter.
“4. Ann Coulter is a bully who thrives on forcing her opponents into a reactive posture. I’m suggesting that we stop playing her game and play one of our own.”
I can see it now. The Ann Coulter Drinking Game.

“The Ann Coulter Drinking Game?” What, you mean like everyone does a shot every time she says something stupid? People would end up with alcohol poisoning in no time flat!
March 6th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Yeah, but then we can call up, ask if if she’s a man, and send her the nill for our alcohol poisoning! And I don’t even drink!
(And I’m terribly thirsty!)
