Coulter Conundrums

[redheadedfemme]

I thought this cartoon was rather funny.

One must remember that in the "Alien" movies, no-body (with the exception of Sigourney Weaver) messed with the Queen.

Seriously, I think it's a valid comment about the shallowness and vapidity of most of the American public, that they would even give Coulter's remarks any attention, much less credence. We are an MTV nation, used to quick, throw-away surface analyses and two-minute sound bites. At the moment, Ann Coulter is the focus of our outrage. Give it a week or two, and someone else will pop up.

Does anyone besides me think she deliberately comes up with these things just to create a firestorm of controversy? How convenient that this is the precise few sentences seized upon and publicized out of her (just-published) book. Plenty of people will now buy the book to satisfy their curiosity. They'll probably toss it in the garbage upon finishing it (or maybe even before) but the book has been bought and Coulter has received her royalties.

It's nothing more than a scam. Admittedly, she is a little more clever about it than most...but it's basically no different than all the idiotic junk mail I clear from my inbox every morning.
