"The New Queen of Mean"

"Massive Chip on Coulter"

That last one is pretty rub

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

"They Don't Come Any Coulter"

is better. They went Coulter-crazy at the News this morning!

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Until I saw that Today show thing, i would have sworn that most of her bullshit was an act to rile the dumbshits and sell books. But she may indeed be a bigger cunt than I gave her credit for.

she seemed very non-television on that Today piece - is she usually 'better' when she isn't being asked 'difficult' questions (which she is nevertheless allowed to wriggle out of)?

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 14:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't see it but her strength on television is an inhuman ability to not get flustered, ever, no matter how outrageously heated the conversation gets, which it always does - she just flounces around the conversation with a supercilious, above-it-all manner that lets her laugh everything off - which is exactly the kind of attitude honed and perfected at those elite northeastern schools like Choate and Philips-Exeter and Harvard that she says represents everything wrong with American liberalism

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

and the responses are rolling in, both from the 9/11 families and Kathy Griffin later that same broadcast.

still, she's getting attention, so she wins.

but she seems flustered in this one - that's my curiosity. is she under heavy pressure re: that voting scandal going on at the moment?

I was like that before I got to Harvard.

It looked like she was maybe a little too coked up, tbh.

Dan Perry has just made me realize ann coulter would improved immeasurably if she made more jokes about fuckin'

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I never noticed how her voice sounds like a lispy frog

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Ann Coulter making jokes about sex is like an open ssewer making jokes about food.

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, Ann Coulter making jokes about sex is like an open sewer making jokes about sex.

don't forget to make sure your "moderate safesearch" is on while image googling.

i still think her bitchy stuck-up needling tone is kinda hot

scnnr is that just good life advice or was there something particularly horrific?

i did not dare to try.

I didn't see anything, although I was briefly excited to see "Gyral Clamp-On Coulter Assemblies" - yet disappointed, ultimately.

The thing is, if anything of hers I've read--articles and book excerpts so maybe they aren't representative--is something to go on, she's a hideous piss poor writer. She really is only hit and miss with being at all clever, and she never makes any kind of interesting or thoughtful point. And I've never 100% bought that she was completely faking her beliefs; I just figured she was amping them up for the cameras, but I'm not really that sure now with how bitten-crazy she seemed on the Today show (especially compared with the tiny clip they showed from just a year ago of her and Lauer!).

But really, the fact that she is a terrible writer is really the cardinal sin here. I'd rather read an anthology of the absolute worst, belligerent, being-a-dick-for-the-sake-of-it stuff that Momus and ethan have posted on this board than read her book, because at least they're witty. She makes racist frat boy jokes and it's somehow clever because she's a girl. I've defended her before because, only watching her on tv, it seemed she was having a joke, being funny, and she came off that way from time to time, but having read more of her stuff--what in the holy hell? Who decided to publish her in the first place?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

This is the second time today I've felt that I'm kind of wasting my time posting such a thing HERE, like there's no one to convince on this board of my point because it's almost a universal truth around these parts, but seriously just how much longer is Ann Coulter going to get by on being a "hot chick" retelling Rush Limbaugh's ancient jokes in an XTREME VICE MAGAZINE Y2K style?

I mean, judging by the Today show clip, not much longer cos she's totally losing her mind (it's almost as if she wrote the book back when Bush's numbers were much higher and is now worried the tide has also turned against HER ilk, imagine...), but--how does it go?--you never go broke underestimating Americans and what they are willing to spend money on?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

why is there a stupid praying mantis image stuck to this thread and how do I get rid of it. Its preventing me from reading stuff.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

it's attached to one of Jon's posts, if you set it so you only see the last 50 posts in the thread, the image will go away because it has scrolled off the screen, but more than that and I think it's still there.

When did Matt Lauer grow a backbone?

Um, a long time ago? At some point he and Katie seemed to have come to the conclusion that the vanity pundits were doing enough puff-piecery and therefore they could sunnily go for the jugular without anyone really noticing.

"Coulter's new book was Amazon.com's most popular selection Wednesday night."

..right.

― DAVE, for #1 Hits of yesterday and today! (dave225.3), Thursday, 8 June 2006 13:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ding ding! That she says these mock-horrors with such insouciance makes her an Aryan wet dream for we're-so-offended talk show hosts who invite her.

When liberals learn to master Gore Vidal's poise and diction, Ann Coulter will have some competition.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 8 June 2006 13:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the point is, though, that she seems to be slowly losing that strength. This isn't the first tv appearance I've seen her on recently where she appears to be, quite frankly, losing her mind. Whether it's just stress (physical or mental), or something deeper (like what I said, realizing that if Bush's fanbase keeps shrinking, so does hers), I'm not really sure.

dunno. she's what, 44? born in dec '61? how much more mileage can she get out of that real estate? what do you think?

coupla years, maybe more if she tries to do the M.Dowd thing?

― kingfish du lac (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Well if that's the defining factor, perhaps we should ask Susan Sarandon?

Though, yeah, she's gonna keep aging poorly.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

This isn't the first tv appearance I've seen her on recently where she appears to be, quite frankly, losing her mind.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen her any other way. She's been batshit from the word go, the only difference is that now her cause is less popular, which gives Matt Lauer the freedom to stand up to her. It's really sad all the way around.

― sinful caesar sipped his snifter (kenan), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I seriously don't really know. It seems like so much of her draw is the physical, or at least she gets a lot of mileage out of it(e.g. the book covers), I'm wondering at what point that gives out, or at least is overtaken by crazy-ass chicks like Malkin offering up an even more excreable viewpoint.

in a not-really-related question: T/S: Susan Sarandon vs Lesley Ann Warren

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

kenan, saying crazy things and actually coming across as a crazy person are two totally different things. See 15 other posts in this recent revival of the thread alone...

kenan, saying crazy things and actually coming across as a crazy person are two totally different things.

If you assume she was serious all along, then I don't think there's a significant difference.

― sinful caesar sipped his snifter (kenan), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Lesley Ann Warren is better because she's Miss Scarlet.

― sinful caesar sipped his snifter (kenan), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

No, there pretty well is a difference. Going from being well-spoken to a hysterical version of our president is pretty obvious, whether or not you believe her to be serious or joking. If you really don't get what people are saying here then I'm not sure how else to explain it to you.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Well alright then. Condescension accomplished.
