Ann Coulter’s mouth has been wired shut. No, really. The New York Post has reported that Ann Coulter’s jaw has been wired shut, which means she can’t talk. It’s bound to hurt those audiobook sales on her upcoming book. Nobody wants to buy a recording that just says, “Mmmff, mmmm, hhmmffff, mmfff, mmmmm!!”
And no, it wasn’t a liberal that wired her jaw shut (unless the doctor was a liberal), although there are more than a few people, liberal and otherwise, who wouldn’t mind spending a few hours at that satisfying task.
Ann Coulter brought it on herself, so to speak. She fell and broke her jaw.
Some of that dirt coming back at her, it would seem.
O, the irony of it all.
Coulter has a new book coming out in a few weeks, which proves she didn’t break her hand. It’s called Guilty. This time she’s going after President-Elect Obama. Coulter claims that Obama pretended to be above it all while fully knowledgeable about the thug-like behavior and dirty politicking being done by his campaigners and supporters.
If you were expecting positivity from Coulter, you apparently have never read one of her books or listened to her speak. Black is not as negative as Ann Coulter.
But she should be fully recovered and able to spew as much acid as she’s used to by the time President-Elect Obama becomes President Obama. Besides, by the time of the inauguration, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh will need a relief pitcher to finish the neocon game when George W. Bush gets his walking papers.
To say that Coulter is controversial is to be in danger of extreme understatement. And she never shies away from it, choosing instead to run directly toward it, mouth incessantly screeching and full of vitriole.
After the New York Times ran photos of president George W. Bush throwing up in Japan, Coulter said in the New York Observer, “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.” When asked later if she regretted saying it, she replied that she should have added, “…’after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters’.”
Ann Coulter, if nothing else, is known for her caustic wit.
Right after September 11, she wrote in her column in the National Review that the United States “…should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.”
Ann Coulter is also known for her tolerance.
Coulter, always attempting to prove she’s the most obnoxious around, even at a conference full of politicians, made the controversial comment at the 2007 Conservative Political Action Conference: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I’m — so, kind of at an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards, so I think I’ll just conclude here and take your questions.” Coulter was criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike. She later told the New York Times that: “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.”
On her website, she wrote: “I’m so ashamed, I can’t stop laughing “
Now we know what John Edwards has been doing since he found out Coulter broke her jaw.
Delicious irony, indeed.
Coulter’s rather attractive when she isn’t talking. Sounds better, too. It really is sad she won’t stay that way.
