Every once in a while, Drudge posts something so far beyond his usual, biased tripe that it staggers the imagination. Often, it concerns everybody's favorite female vermiform, Ms. Ann Coulter.

Well, it seems that Filarial Annie has yet another book hitting the stands and, from this brief review, it looks like she's farther off the deep end than ever; not too shabby for the all-but-dry, shallow end of the literary pool.
On women:

If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it's the party of women and 'We'll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'
She's blathered out this crippled chestnut before and it hasn't improved much with the passing of time. But she's now pontificating upon global warming with all of the expertise of Jerome on one of his less thoughtful days.
On why global warming is religion on the left:

Because we can't prove them wrong for a thousand years, and I think the other thing about it is, it goes back to Chesterton's statement: that when people stop believing in God, the problem isn't that they believe in nothing, it's that they'll believe anything. And that's what you constantly see with people who don't believe in God: They're always imitating the most ridiculous, primitive religions. And it is like a primitive religion, thinking if we just change these lightbulbs, we can change the temperature of the ocean. It's the craziest thing! Even primitive people wouldn't believe something that silly.
The Queen of the Straw Man; the Popess of the Red Herring; the Goddess of Ad Hominem. An argument can be made that she really shouldn't be allowed a vote due to psychotic, malicious incompetence.

Does anyone really take this pathetic example of cerebrial anorexia seriously? Is the English-speaking world really that intellectually starved that she has an audience other than afictionados of the Three Stooges?

What a piece of shit work is Ms. Coulter. She's either the biggest fruitbat ever dropped, or the biggest liar. Did I say, "either"? There's no need to assume an "XOR" (as we said in the computer logic field for "exclusive or.") Here's on example from her interview:
How would she sum up Hillary's campaign strategy?

“Assume that the loony base secretly knows you are a Marxist, so that you can talk like a moderate Democrat, appeal to the DLC types, and people who are Democrats because their grandparents were Democrats.”

If Hillary's elected, does she think she'll—

“Impose communism in America? Yes. And I think it's a little worse than that, because I think she has a chip on her shoulder and a ‘to do' list. Ha-ha!”
Ann, if you're just gonna make shit up like this, at least accuse Hillary of being a contemporary bogeyman, an Islamic terrorist, not a Communist. That's so 20th Century. Of course, maybe Ann didn't consciously make it up at all, but got the idea directly from a misfiring synaptic storm in her drug-scrambled, psychotic brain.

I don't even really think she is as much a loon or a liar. I really think that she is just marketing a fictional person who never breaks character in public. It seems to me to all be one giant marketing ploy. And it's worked!

On the other hand, if the vote were limited to men with advanced degrees, the Republicans would never win. If voting were only allowable on the east and west coast, the Republicans would never win. If fundamentalist Christians were not allowed to vote, the Republicans would never win.

Two can play at that ridiculous game…

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Yes, many do unfortunately. Far too many. So many, in fact, it's reduced my opinion of the mental faculties of the human species.
