Ann Counter: comedienne

Ann Coulter: comedienne

I recall from Ann Coulter threads that we shouldn't take her seriously because she is basically a comedienne, and she is usually joking, or otherwise hyperbolating or not serious.

On Al Franken's show, he related an anecdote about an event last night before a debate he had with Coulter in LA (The University of Judaism?). They were at the pre-event dinner, which was a smaller affair, mostly event sponsors. All the featured guests at the event (which apparently included John Edwards and Newt Gringrich) was supposed to stand up and make some brief (minute or two remarks), which are generally mostly to thank the sponsors.

According to Franken, Coulter's comments had to do with the recent riots in LA over immigration. Something like,

There were 500 000 demonstrators. That explains why I didn't have clean towels in my hotel. I haven't seen that many aggitated Mexicans since Mexico lost in World Cup soccer.

Wow, what a joker she is! I wonder, did she come up with that all by herself, or did she have writers prepare it for her?

Franken's response:

I haven't seen that many aggitated Mexicans since the US invaded Mexico in 1847 when James K. Polk convinced everyone that Santa Ana had weapons of mass destruction.

Wow ... is Al that old?

That much became obvious when Bill O'Reilly failed to generate his own Black Hole of B***s***.

Didn't I post a thread showing Coulter's habit of lobbing bombs, getting chastised by her employer, and then quitting and burning her bridges with them?

She has pink marks all over her where people poked her with 10 foot poles.

Read Rich Lowry's account of how she blew up as a web columnist for National Review back before it was cool to fire her.

Dont' forget Billy O'Rantly has been seen in the same place as Crush Bimbo. If the two of them aren't a singularity of BS, nothing is.

Who is this "Ann Counter"? A mathematician?

The whole thing made me think of the Pink Floyd song.

is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied

Is that what she did here?

It sounds to me like it was just a lame attempt at being funny.

 

[DavidJames]

Actually, I'm kinda impressed she knew Mexico was in the last World Cup.

I'd like to be even handed here, but Al Franken---disagree with him all you like---is still a very intelligent person. Ann Coulter is a lying, stupid, hypocritical bimbo.

and don't forget this gem:

and as one blogger mentioned: Coulters assertion is that the Canadian government authorized sending Canadian troops to Vietnam. Claiming that she is right because individual Canadian citizens opted to enlist in the US military is akin to saying that the US supported the Taliban because John Walker Lindh and other Americans joined the Taliban. Nice try, but she's still wrong.

Wow...and to think there really are Americans who consider her some sort of hero.

Yikes.

Who was it that said, "I just don’t like homosexuals. If you ask me, they’re all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia.”

I have no idea...whoever it was was a complete moron, whatever their party affiliation. Having no party affiliation myself, I don't make excuses for this sort of thing...or try to justify it by saying, yeah but look what so-and-so said!

Franken said it. Considered a hero to some Americans.

Speaking of heroes, he said in his book, about John McCain, "But this whole 'war hero' thing-I don't get it. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, he sat out the war. I mean, anyone can get captured!"

you don't think he may have been joking do you?

He, or she?

Um, Luke, Franken is a comedian. A real one. Not the greatest, not the worst, but still, he was a professional comedian long before Coulter did her "thing." And she was never a comedienne. She's a talking head who's not very bright and uses "joking" as an excuse every time she says something ridiculous.

The difference being, Franken has an established non-political history of being funny. (Or trying to.) Coulter is just a shill who can't own up when she puts her foot in her mouth.
