"I agree that Coulter was rude," says a poster at another site, "but she makes a good point."
She'd make a good vanishing point if she disappeared, and in my world she already has. Who pays attention to media whores and clowns anyway?
The only thing that distresses me about the recent Coulter flap is that far too many people on both sides of the left/right divide appear to take this publicity hound seriously. I feel sorry for them, as I do for people who take those stupid Simpson sisters seriously.
I like Dennis Perrin's (Red State Son Blog) take on Annie:
"The Coulter obsession, by both media and liberals, has gotten pretty fucking ridiculous, but what can you expect in a celebrity culture? As (you) know, I don't spend extensive time on rightwing media creatures, simply because they are howling caricatures of a deeper American psychosis, long on sensation but lacking serious texture. They are a tawdry part of the Spectacle, as any Situationist will tell you, or any seasoned carny will confirm. Freak shows and cheap rides still draw crowds, and it's only natural that what passes for American political discourse plays shamelessly to this. Coulter knows how to get rubes in the tent, even if they hate her -- hell, especially if they hate her. It's a demented symbiotic relationship that shows no sign of ending."
(Full text of Perrin's remarks.)
Forget this bitch. She's just another commodity, like Madonna and boy bands.
By the way, if you're not in the habit of reading Dennis Perrin's blog, "Red State Son," do yourself a favor. If you're anywhere to the left of Heinrich Himmler you might enjoy him. And if you're a prowar vampire, consider him a prescription.
Anyone can recover.
