I got a double dose of AnnDrogyne with my morning wake-up. First, Garrison Keillor's "Writer's Almanac" included the phrase "it's the birthday of Ann Coulter...". My first reaction was WTF! but I knew GK's up to something...he gave the usual bio notes and then included her famous quotes about "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity", which got her National Review Online column cancelled, and her remark to a disabled Vietnam vet that "No wonder you guys lost", which got her fired from MSNBC. Oh, and he did point out those unhappy consequences for AnnDrogyne. Nice way to get the message out -- present her work in the same forum, in the same format, as REAL authors and let people decide for themselves.
Then I see this from CNN:
"Ann Coulter to audience: You're stupider than I am"
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/12/08/coulter.row.ap/index.html"STORRS, Connecticut (AP) -- Conservative columnist Ann Coulter cut short a speech at the University of Connecticut amid boos and jeers, and decided to hold a question-and-answer session instead.
""I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am," Coulter told the crowd of 2,600 Wednesday."
Wow! Give that woman(sp?) the John Bolton Medal for Diplomatic Politesse! Way to go, Ann! With another Top Ten Conservative Idiots coming up, I'd like to nominate Ann for the top THREE slots -- win, place, and show -- so she can quote her favorite hero and say "I never expected to get the trifecta". OK, some of these are old quotes, but they are, sadly, literally unforgettable.
Let's get those nominations rolling in!
