I think The Bent Post says it well in a recent post describing the interest that surrounds the country's resident Republican witch, Ann Coulter:
“We believe there's a collective addiction to her. And each time she opens her mouth we get another fix, and each time she happily ups the ante and provides a greater high. It doesn't matter if it's a good high and we agree with her, or a bad high and we don't. It's the same rush. But we're feeling optimistic, frankly. Because we think, with her recent unbelievably crazy statements, we may have reached that moment when, after the equivalent of a five day bender of hanging from a sling, slamming Drano and ordering up hooker tranny dwarves, we've caught a glimpse of ourselves in the mirror and thought, ‘God, I'm so bored.'”
But she's still out there, feeding the addiction the media has for another sensationalist talking head.
If her recent comments about Bill Clinton's latent homosexuality weren't obnoxious enough, the piehole has spewed another cloud of stale ass juice, this time joking that Al Gore is “a total fag.” One can see the giddy thrill she gets as the crowd reacts, laughing. I wonder how they'd react if she referred to Kofi Annan, whom she's asked about in the subsequent clip, using the “n” word? No doubt it wouldn't be tolerated, nor laughed at.
On MSNBC, Coulter called Gore a “total fag,” while Matthews said “we'd love to have her back” [media matters]
