Coulter claims Bill Clinton is 'latent' gay Anne Coulter extended her string of political observations this week during an appearance on CNBC's The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch, where she told Deutsch that she believes former president Bill Clinton's skirt-chasing behavior indicates homosexual tendencies. "I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality," said Coulter.

I think her sort of rampant verbal diarrhea does show some level of latent mental retardation.

So do you think he's really gay or is this just more fuel for the fire that burns where Coulter's brain should be?

Anne Coulter: Apparently the one woman on earth so skeezy, even Slick Willy won't shtup her.

"I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality," said Coulter.

That's what my shrink said about my exwife. He was right.

And she was on Chris Matthew's 'Hardball' this evening slinging more of her shit.

"Chris Matthews talks with Ann Coulter, whose outrageous comments about the Sept. 11 widows and Bill Clinton have shot her book to the top of the best-seller list. Click the arrows for more of the interview."

There are four video clips currently on the 'Hardball' webpage which you can watch. I recommend having a barf bag handy.

I didn't know that she could construct a moderately complex sort of sentence like that on the fly.

I Fucked Ann Coulter in the Ass, Hard.

Ya know nature abhors a vacuum, its amazing how she manages to keep one contained in her cranium.

Latent mental retardation? Hardly.

ah, IFACintA,H is such a thing of beauty.

I understand Coulter keeps saying shit to get attention. With this one, I just wish someone would say to her, on camera, "Who'd know better about being gay and in-the-closet than you, Ann? MAN that adam's apple is huge!"

Yeah, Coulter will say anything to keep the spotlight on herself. She's a vile excuse for a human being and a waste of the air she breathes.

Oh jeez, more of this shit...the more attention you pay her the more she'll come back with bullshit. Remember that attention whore (male or female) in high school ?

Don't feed the troll. If we ignore her, maybe she'll just go away.

On MSNBC, Coulter called Gore a "total fag," while Matthews said "we'd love to have her back."

So, in other words, her book sales are low. That's basically the story, right?

No, the story is that she keeps her profile high by saying obviously insane things.

PLEASE STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO ANN COULTER

Every night she cries herself to sleep, with a printed hardbound copy of this story (so NSFW) and a mental image of the protagonist being a certain Mr. Clinton.

Damnit!

Well, OK, maybe it's this story (still NSFW) instead. But Slick Willy's still the male lead.

Anne Coulter: Batshit Crazy or Pandering to the Wingnut Demographic?
You make the call!

Imagine if one day her plan backfired completely. No, I don't mean if people stopped paying attention to her, although that'd be fantastic. I mean, like-- someone got so provoked and pissed that they murdered her.

If it was televised, I'm fairly sure she'd be upset that it wasn't her idea.

Anne Coulter: Batshit Crazy or Pandering to the Wingnut Demographic?

What, it has to be either/or? Why can't it be both?
posted by kaemaril at 5:51 PM on July 27, 2006

crunchland, I couldn't agree more re: ignore the troll, but let's face it--it's not like she's popping up on local cable access. Hardball is about as big as it gets for talking-head wonkery, and Matthews is often (along with Russert) framed as the most neutral and unbiased of commentators.

Which is just to say, the mainstream media is pretty much rubbing Coulter in our faces. The only remedy, IMO, is to make transparent the fact that she's an apologist for racism, genocide, and hate.

And somebody should feed that scrawny bitch a sandwich while we're at it.

(BTW, the Clinton is gay thing was obviously thrown out to garner attention for tonight's appearance on Hardball. I can only assume her book isn't selling well, because I can't imagine many of her fans are functionally literate.)

Wow, more and more she's reminding me of that kid in 8th grade, you know the one, who'd eat anything you gave him because he was desperate for attention, any attention.

"Hey, Anne, I'll give you a dollat if you eat this bug! Eeeeeeeeeeewwww! She did it! Gross! She did it!"

Please, stop talking about her. Bad press is good press and it makes her money. Stop talking about her, and maybe she will shutup.

And before someone pulls the bullshit false equivalence of Michael Moore is the left's Anne Coulter, let me save you some work--I've looked for quotations for him where he calls for the murder of conservative judges, or the nuclear bombing of middle east nations, or the forced conversion of Christians to Islam, and it ain't there. Because he's not a hate-filled windbag pandering to the semen-encrusted fantasies of the PNAC/chickenhawk nation.
