Anne Coulter enters the No-Spin Zone
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,121262,00.html

Hey everyone! It's all okay! You can stop worrying now! According to (m)Anne Coulter:

(1) The War in Iraq is going just swell!
(2) There were no civilian casualties in Iraq!
(3) We haven't even as much as touched a school or a mosque in Iraq, much less bombed one (or two, or three, or four, et al)!
(4) The people in the streets of Iraq are not rising up or resisting!
(5) Not having enough troops in absolutely no problem!
(6) It's "pretty darn safe" over there (so I guess the 700+ dead soldiers aren't real, either)!
(7) Baghdad is now officially safer than Washington DC!
(8) We found weapons of mass destruction, so the whole thing's justified anyway!
(9) No one is calling the torture scandal "hazing," especially not Rush Limbaugh!
(10) Anne Coulter is not an extremist and everyone loves her!

Wow, I feel so much better. Thanks for reassuring me about everything, Anne.

3. Eternal optimist? That witch is WELL BEYOND THAT.
Nazi Propagandist.

Character in an Orwell Novel.

Something like that.

14. You are confusing the word "optimist" with "LIAR".

5. LOL... she can't even get Bill O'Reilly to agree with her!
Here's one of the more hilarious passages:

COULTER: But it's pretty darn safe over there.

O'REILLY: Our Fox correspondents in Baghdad won't go out of the hotel. That's not a good sign, Ann.

COULTER: I wouldn't go out of the hotel in Washington, D.C. This is the Middle East. This is a country that's been under a brutal dictator for 30 years, and on top of that, now they see ...

O'REILLY: Let me answer a couple of other things. They said there's not enough boots on the ground, number one. We don't have enough people providing security. This is the military people, not me. Number two...

COULTER: Not my military people. My military people are Rumsfeld.

O'REILLY: The weapons of mass destruction fiasco when they couldn't find them.

COULTER: Wait. We have found weapons of mass destruction...

O'REILLY: No we didn't, not to any great extent.

COULTER: That is an important point. We have found weapons of mass destruction. That is something the media is repeatedly lying about. We have not found stockpiles. We found the plants for manufacturing, we found the experiments, we found the room for human experimentation labs. We found lots of weapons of mass destruction.

Yes, who was a brave naval aviator during The War of 1954-1957.

6. Har! And why is Bush falling in the polls?
Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 01:57 PM by HFishbine
According to Ann: "...basically the same 500 people are being polled."

I know it's pointless to wonder, yet I do. How can people like her sleep at night? I mean, I'm pretty aggressive in my politics, but I couldn't live with myself if I went to bed each night knowing I had successfully mislead millions of people.

10. "same 500 ... being polled"

Even if this WERE true, her point is pointless. The same people is, in many ways, the perfect cohort to poll over time. Whether a perfect sampling or not, they give you a definite trendline of how people are feeling about the candidates.

12. How can people like her sleep at night?
In a coffin filled with the soil of her native Transylvania.

8. (11) Anne does not lie about her age!

Anne, 40? 42? 43? years old, did not lie when she told the board of elections in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1979 that she was 18. And she did not lie when she told the DMV in Washington, D.C., that she was born in 1963!

11. Yep. Totally safe. She should visit Falluja in a bullseye-print bikini.
Yuck. I disgusted myself with that one.

16. Is it only cigarettes that she's smoking?
I always thought she was a nutjob but she certainly is headed toward a straight jacket, padded cell status soon. It's only a matter of time before she has a complete breakdown.

17. Baghdad Bob in Drag.
People must really love listening to her. I see posts about her here all the time. All I can say is there are more important people to listen to and quote.

20. Is it opposite day again and nobody told me?
Why don't they change their catch line from "no spin" to "F-5 tornado." I never listen to the show yet I can feel its vortex sucking the life out of me as I sit here.

The next thing she will say is that the sky is orange and that she was born on the planet Zoltar during the reign of Lord High Prince Oogle Boogle the Magnificent.
