    Ann Coulter Now Just Kind Of Sad, Boring

    Therapy patient George Gurley's long love affair with Republican propagandist Ann Coulter, 46 (now 48??), continues today in the pages of the New York Observer. It's the same old shtick from the fiery polemicist, and, like Ann herself, it's pretty damn thin: Hillary Clinton will "impose communism" on America if elected, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are responsible for 9/11, the death of 3000 American troops in Iraq is no big deal, etc. Frankly, it's a little pathetic: Ann has pretty much tapped out her ability to provoke outrage, because we've heard it all before from her. There's pretty much nothing she can do or say at this point to shock or offend. Unless she's somehow satisfied with her increasing irrelevance in the national conversation, she's going to need to make some grand gesture that once again puts her in the forefront of American hate figures. We're not sure how she could do it, but maybe she could start by calling Barack Obama what the kids call "the n word." That might ruffle a few feathers. More »

    Google undresses its politics with revealing photos

    Tech gadfly David Cassel was surprised when a Google search of "Michelle Malkin," the Asian-American Ann Coulter, displayed images of the shrill female commentator in a bikini. Full disclosure: One of them was a faked image that ran on sister site Gawker. Surely an aberration as the search engine experiments with including images and videos right on the main search results page? Ah, but a search for the original Ann Coulter, too, displayed bikini shots (also faked). What about male conservative commentators? Jeff Gannon, questioned for his White House press-conference softballs and exposed for posting nude photographs to gay escort sites, unsurprisingly, appears ... exposed. And on the left? More »

    Right-Wing Hero Has Porn Past, Claim Gays

    Matt Sanchez, a 36-year-old Columbia student and Marine Corps reservist, has been appearing on all sorts of conservative talk shows like the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, whining about being mocked for military service by those lefties up at Columbia. And then Sanchez was feted at the CPAC conference— the one where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" remark. That must have been a weird experience, since all the gays have now fingered him as a former gay porn star. (Well, we told you Ann was a huge fag hag!) More »

    Ann Coulter, 46, Major Fag Hag

    So, yes, we've seen the now-infamous video of Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a faggot. We didn't get too riled up at first, because we thought she kind of had a good point! (Kidding, kidding.) Really, we didn't think too much of it, just because ol' Annie has spent the better part of her life in the company of homosexuals. After years of standing by her gays—and what right-wing woman hasn't done time with a gaggle of sniping queens? Hello, Nancy Reagan?—we figure Ann has basically earned the right to reclaim "faggot" all on her own. Unfortunately, she's lost just about all of her girl-gang by now. (She's alienated pretty much all the straight friends by now, for that matter.) But now who will hold her long luxurious hair back during those long nights vomiting after too many tequilas? Now who'll drive around with her in South Beach with the top down, screaming into the hot breeze the important early work of Madonna? Really, it's just all too sad to consider.

    Sean Delonas Finally Recognized, Awarded For Special Talents

    We're a little late on this one, but we do like to mention friends of the site whenever they've done something of note. So we want to congratulate our good pal Sean Delonas, who was named one of GLAAD's "2006 Anti-Gay Defamation Offenders." Delonas shares the honor with virulent homophobe James Dobson and columnist Ann Coulter, 46. Congratulations, Sean! Let's keep reaching for that rainbow in 2007! More »

    Happy 46th Birthday, Ann Coulter!

    We want to take a brief moment out of our hectic day to celebrate a very important milestone in the life of one of our favorite people: Today marks the 46th birthday of cadaverous acrimony-dispenser Ann Coulter. Coulter, 46, has been a bit quiet of late, perhaps busy reflecting on her own mortality and how, when her end finally comes, all she will have contributed to this world is a legacy of poorly-argued calumny and the suggestion that 9/11 widows blew up the towers themselves for the insurance money (or maybe she's just busy allegedly plagiarizing other people's material for her next book, Assfuckers: How Clinton and Gore Had a Secret Gay Relationship With Osama and Saddam), but in any event, we miss you, Ann: We need your subtle incisiveness back in the the national conversation. Anyway, we were all set to bake you a cake, complete with 47 (one for good luck!) candles in the shape of the New York Times building (fun to watch burn!) but then we remembered that whole snorting-meth-instead-of-eating-food thing, so consider this post our birthday gesture instead. Here's hoping your sail into the shores of 47 is peaceful and untroubled by any further accusations of inaccuracy or literary piracy!

    Conservative Cartoon Figure Looks Better As Actual Cartoon

    A tipster passes along this invitation to a Denver speaking engagement by Ann Coulter, the 45-year-old grief management counselor. Our source comments that "she went through several drafts before she was happy with this version of "herself" raising the skirt, highlighting her bum, and in general, making herself look not only ridiculous, but oodles more attractive than she actually is."

    Ann Coulter Dangerous To Your Sanity, Employment Status

    Because God knows what we need right now is another book condemning Ann Coulter, the 45-year-old columnist best-known for wearing a cocktail dress and sandwich board that reads "Will malign for money," Reuters reporter Joe Maguire put pen to paper and came up with "Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter [45]. Unfortunately, after Maguire showed the galleys to his corporate overlords, he found himself unemployed because of Reuters' strict adherence to a policy of balanced coverage even when it comes to covering the wildly unbalanced. It's not all bad news for Maguire, though: the Times reports that, upon hearing of his dismissal, "20 or so employees at the markets desk where Mr. Maguire had been one of two editors in charge 'took a group coffee break' in solidarity on Thursday." Which is a real tribute: those guys only did a five-minute smoke break when Reuters canned Adnan Hajj. More »

    Go Ask Ann Coulter

    The four authors of forthcoming imaginatively titled polemic I Hate Ann Coulter! are sticking to their anonymity, claiming (maybe only half-facetiously) that they fear potential reprisals from Coulter's fans. The Post dutifully notes "It's only the second time in Simon & Schuster's history that an author's identity has been kept secret, the first being, "Go Ask Alice," a teen drug addict's diary, published in 1971." Of course, Go Ask Alice was only "anonymous" as a mechanism to perpetuate its own fraudulent nature, as it wasn't written by a fallen teen drug addict at all. Rather, it was one of several "anonymous teenager diaries" concocted by Mormon youth counselor Beatrice Sparks as part of her scared-straight campaign. Simon & Schuster's still willing to play up the anonymous angle as a publicity stunt, anyway. More »
