Ann Coulter: "Yes, I am an attention whore."

Ann Coulter, true to her nature, made something about someone else about her. In her brilliantly penned synopsis of Alaska Governess Sarah Palin for Time Magazine's 100 issue, Ann writes:

The only thing I have against her is that she threatens to surpass me in attracting the left's hatred.

I have a few thoughts on that:

There are some noticeable differences between the two.
1. Ann Coulter is a fascist party doll who spews vile hate speech like Shakespeare did poetry.
2. Sarah Palin is a vapid, party-line hack who tows the line and was an unfortunate victim of circumstances.

That being said, we, the collect left, dislike you both for entirely different reasons. While you've both managed to set back the cause of women about 50 years or so, one of you we despise because you anger us. You may have facts, incorrect as they usually are, and refuse to concede to even the most logical, rational, level-headed arguments.

Governor Palin, on the other hand, we just...well, Mr. T said it the best about Rocky - and I paraphrase, "I don't hate Sarah Palin, I pity the fool." McCain choosing her was the worst thing that could have happened. It was embarassing and it was a shallow, shameless pander, you betcha. And gosh, you know, it was just jingoism and hokey colloquialisms abound as she utterly neglected substance, answers, and genuine solutions to problems all the while skirting seemingly any knowledge of the Constitution of the way our government fuctons.

The Aryan posterchild goes on to opine that Sarah Palin got a bum rap because

she wasn't influential enough to overcome the deficits of her running mate and win the election.

Oh, contraire. John McCain would have had a much bettter shot at winning had he stuck to his moderate roots and chosen someone less...reactionary, and more intelligent. Sarah Palin was an embarassment not just to John McCain, but to Alaska, to women, and to America. H.L. Mencken was proved correct in his assumption that in America, we would eventually elect a genuine idiot to the White House in 2004 (I neglect 2000 because Bush was not elected in this year, rather he was appointed), and Mencken was almost proven right again with the baffling popularity of Sarah Palin in 2008.

Person of the year? Maybe in a political sideshow. But thanks for the laugh, Ann. I needed it today.
