Coulter's on MSNBC right now, spewing her usual venom. Why is she given airtime? She's a raving lunatic!!! I mean, there are conservatives/repulicans who I may not agree with, but whose opinions i still respect -- but Coulter is simply, abjectly insane and the world would be a much better place is she was kept far away from microphones.

Well, keep in mind that maybe she's getting more desperate, and therefore more entertaining.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 7 October 2004 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I often wonder whether Phillip Pullman named Mrs. Coulter after her. I'd like to think he did.

I'd somehow managed to avoid seeing her speak on TV until yesterday morning when she was on some morning show talking about her new book, so I watched for a few minutes, and what struck me is how dumb she seems. Not dumb in, "oh, I disagree with her opinions, so she's stupid," but just generally unintelligent. She was talking kind of slow and her inflections are kind of dull and monotonous and she wasn't answering any of the questions, but not seemingly out of spite or intentional dodging of the question, but just out of dumbness.

If you removed the words "liberals" and "traitors" from her vocabulary, she's have nothing to say, basically.

In Blinded by the Right, David Brock describes her as something of a harpy who survives on a diet of Chardonnay and Marlboro Lights. Ugh.

adam (adam), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Chardonnay?

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Chardonnay.

adam (adam), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, yeah adam, I've had a few bottles of Montrachet-Chassagne in my time. It just seems like such a liberal drink for her. I was expecting something like tequila, or bourbon. Jack and Diet Coke maybe.

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Chardonnay seems very conservative to me--the default choice of someone too timid, uncreative or boring to drink wine that doesn't taste like a cocktail of rancid Mountain Dew and rat urine. It's like one day in college she decided to like wine and picked chardonnay as her "brand." I bet she only orders crunchy rolls when she goes out for sushi.

nb I'm only dissing cheap OAKTASTIC chardonnay so plz don't kill me winefreaks.

adam (adam), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I agree adam, but admit that wine & cheese = liberals generally for Coulter's brand of lumpen kern-Merkan kind of class resentment politics.

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:43 (nineteen years ago) link

kern-Merkan? please explain. I get the lumpen part.

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Hence those ridiculous pictures of her like cleaning a rifle and petting a hound dog--still she seems like she was one career move away from being an assistant editor at Marie Claire.

adam (adam), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

as in Nazi 'kern Deutsch', plus Merkan as in 'God Bless Merka'.

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Aha

ROFFLE!!

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 14:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Since when the fuck is wine a liberal's beverage? That makes absolutely no sense. Also who cares? Marlboro lights are fucking nasty.

Since it came from France. I couldn't care less. That's not true. I wish she drank more antifreeze.

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 16:24 (nineteen years ago) link

who was it that wrote at length about the republican strategy of aligning dems with a certain subset of products (ie. volvos, lattes) anyway? i remember that being an interesting piece.

Thomas Frank talks about the "latte libel."

http://www.wesjones.com/frank1.htm

The Gore-voting people of the Blue states, meanwhile, were dismissed with what we will call the latte libel: the suggestion that liberals are identifiable by their tastes and consumer preferences and that these tastes and preferences reveal the essential arrogance and foreignness of liberalism. And since many of the pundits who were hailing the virtues of the Red states - pundits, remember, who were conservatives and who supported George W. Bush - actually, physically lived in Blue states that went for Gore, the rules of this idiotic game allowed them to present the latte libel in the elevated language of the confession. David Brooks, who has since made a career out of projecting the liberal stereotype onto the map, took to the pages of The Atlantic to admit on behalf of everyone who lives in a Blue zone that they are all snobs, toffs, wusses, ignoramuses, and utterly out of touch with the authentic life of the people.

What does he know that we don't?

Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I go to Starbucks all the time, but I order black coffee. I guess that makes me a moderate.

Gold Teeth II (kenan), Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:20 (nineteen years ago) link

It makes you frugal.

Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:22 (nineteen years ago) link

isnt the NSA the thing that Condeleeza Rice heads?

Anthony (Plato Guy), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think so. She's just the "National Security Advisor." The NSA is all Tom Clancy'd out.

Haha! xpost

We were ever...?

Apparently she's really upset about the cover, she thinks the photographer deliberately tried to make her look bad -- as if that's something that requires any special trickery or effort.

Leon Future Coffee (Ex Leon), Monday, 18 April 2005 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

"Ms."?? surprised she consented to that stalinist appellation...

Thing is, I'd still hit it.

Failin Huxley (noodle vague), Monday, 18 April 2005 20:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Dear fucking lord WHY is she resurrected again and again? Someone should take a Mecha-blowtorch to her publicity agents, for fucks sake.

Failin, you couldn't hit it. There's nothing to hit!

I mean, she's still going to be bitching about shit even if every non-right-wing non-Christian American in the world is destroyed.

The legs/pointy shoes = wicked witch.

Did anyone read that story about her speaking at colleges that was linked from the Bookslut blog? Ugh.

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 18 April 2005 20:32 (nineteen years ago) link

From the article:

"The fate of our troops isn't a game. The fate of the victims on 9/11 is not a game." But she told me several times that, as she put it in an e-mail, "most of what I say, I say to amuse myself and amuse my friends. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about anything beyond that."

She wouldn't bother me so much if she just admitted that she's a stand up comedian instead of trying to pass herself off as a real political commentator.
