Thanks, Ann. For giving the third place John Edwards campaign a much needed publicity boost.
For raising campaign money for the Edwards campaign.
For giving cover to the leftosphere who think you represent all conservatives.
As Bryan at Hot Air put it, Ann puts the organizers of CPAC in a bind.
She doesn’t care that she’s putting the CPAC organizers in a bind, since she’s their biggest draw but also their biggest liability. She probably doesn’t care that she’s John Edwards’ spokesmodel. She probably likes the attention. It’s all about Ann. And that’s the problem.
Ann Coulter used to be funny. She's always been ballsy, and showed you could hit your opponent in the solar plexus without using a bunch of four-letter words. That's the reason I liked reading her stuff. She was bitingly funny and said what we all knew about liberals, especially those who run screaming from that label.
But somewhere along the way, she became more of a liability than an asset for conservatives. Perhaps it was the documenting of every possibly offensive remark (all pulled out of context, of course) by Media Matters. Or maybe it was when conservatives I respect started declaring that they were done with her. In any event, I'm more angry that Ann's stupid "joke" (which is what she claims it was) overshadowed CPAC and that she's given cover to the moonbats who think four-letter words add emphasis for their tired rants.
P.S.--I've made it to the big time. Patterico quoted me in his latest post on Ann.
Ann, when you’ve lost sharon, you’ve lost your base. Trust me on this.
That's completely correct. It's time for Ann to take a sabbatical.
