Mrs. Prickley: Ann Coulter bristles as CPAC attendee asks if she's "advantageous to Repub cause"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

During Ann Coulter's question and answer session at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, one young attendee asked the brash author the question on most political observer's minds: was her impetuous style really helping the Republican cause?

It was a slightly awkward moment for the audience, which drowned out the second half of the question with shouts of "yes" (as in, yes she helps the GOP). And Coulter quickly and coldly dismissed the questioner, a conservative himself, by telling him to, essentially, stop talking.

QUESTIONER: A couple weeks ago you made an appearance on... TV's The View. You compared Barbara Walters reading your book 'Guilty' to a (inaudible) reading of Mein Kampf. I just want to ask that your style of self-expression is advantageous to the Republican cause? And if not... because it is no secret to anybody that you definitely know how to stir a deep pot with a long spoon.

COULTER: Okay, I got the question. The answer is yes. I mean that is a perfect example of this insane phenomenon that I describe in my book: people playing victims to achieve some advantage. What, you're not allowed to cite Mein Kampf? Is that the new rule? Because someone better tell the New York Times book review.

QUESTIONER: I just thought because there is another side to that...

COULTER: No, no. We got the question. Step away from the mic.

1. So much hatred and self loathing in so few pounds.

[napi21]

2. Far as I'm concerned, they can keep Rush, Anne, Delay, and

all the othr nutballs who attended that seance last week! Together they sure conjured up a lot of witchcraft!

3. Wheres the writing? All I see is his adams' apple

It covers the entire page!! AHHH

4. "Step away from the mic"

That's how you know you've essentially poured water on the witch.

5. No, no, we got the question

"At least, all that I care to address of it, so if you want to go on about another side of it, forget it."

But I can understand Little Arfin' Annie's bitterness. Really, I can. After all, when your sister meets her untimely demise by being crushed by a house in a freak meteorological accident, it's hard to keep going without spewing bile on everyone and everything you meet. Think Jeff Goldblum in the remake of "The Fly."

6. If that's a recent photo, she obviously hasn't eaten a bite since the

last time she was photographed.

A walking poster child for a severe eating disorder......

8. Not sure...it's the one HuffPo posted with the article...

...but that's pretty much the way she's looked in every photo I've seen.

10. I could whup her sorry non-ass in about 4 seconds flat. I've been tempted,

but I've never been within even miles of her.

7. Here's the video.

This question is asked at about 2:55.

9. Notice how she plays badminton,, but not with feathers. She's asked a question that she should have

answered from her "I", then makes it a "you" statement. She throws her big hunks of gruel and raw innards back at the questioner. She is hopeless at authentic communication.

11. I love A H Coulter!! Everytime she opens her mouth cash starts flowing into progessive causes!

Really. No one takes her seriously except the yahoos. And she is such a media whore that she inspires wallets to open all over the country.

We have seen the tragic consequences of crazy murderers who have been inspired by Hannity and Limbaugh. But I can't imagine a nutbag shooter with a collection of her books.

A bad RW comedian ... maybe. but carbines and Coulter are not a match. :smoke:

[AlCzervik]

12. what are the odds that was actually a cpacer that asked her that?

[Imagevision]

13. I hope Coulter keeps running her mouyh off, it only helps the popularity of the Dem's - the broad is

all balls and no content...

would die. Quickly and horribly.
