Breaking: Ann Coulter Throws Obama's Grandfather Under the Bus!

That shining beacon of integrity has a new take on Obama's Racist White Grandmother.  It was actually because his grandfather threw her under the bus first.  Those bus drivers have been incredibly busy.
A few highlights:

As recounted in Obama's autobiography, the only evidence that his grandmother feared black men comes from Obama's good-for-nothing, chronically unemployed white grandfather, who accuses Grandma of racism as his third excuse not to get dressed and drive her to work. 
Even Obama's shiftless grandfather didn't play the race card until pretty far into the argument over whether he would drive Grandma to work. First, the good-for-nothing grandfather told Obama that Grandma was just trying to guilt him into driving her, saying, "(S)he just wants me to feel bad." 
Only after Obama had offered to drive his grandmother to work himself and it was becoming increasingly clear what a selfish lout the grandfather was, did Grandpa produce his trump card. The reason he wouldn't get his lazy butt dressed and drive Grandma to work was ... she was a racist! 
How deranged would you have to be to cite this incident as evidence that your grandmother thought like a "typical white person" -- as opposed to your grandfather being worthless and lazy?

Someone remind me again...she gets paid for these insights?

We need Coutler to talk about racism about as much as we need David Duke's insights.

I am surprised that someone hasn't smacked her in the mouth a long time ago. Her rants against the 9/11 widows being a case in point. Can you imagine having to live with her? I hear Drew Peterson is looking for a new hook-up.
