Coultergeist

One of the pleasant surprises to come out of the Democratic Convention so far has been the fact that Ann Coulter -- by the end of the first day! -- got herself shitcanned by yet another media outlet (the first being National Review Online; this one being USA Today), for spewing this particular brain-damaged screed. Coulter, who seems to envision herself as the Hunter S. Thompson of the Right, ignores two main differences between herself and Hunter: (1) you could always dismiss his more hallucinogenic rants as the product of psychoactive substances; and (2) his writing was actually funny, while making a point.

Perhaps Coulter's inflammatory and fact-deprived "journalism" will improve once the gender-reassignment surgery is complete, and the estrogen treatments take hold.
