Tips for Right-wing Nutbars: Watch Colbert
Last night, Ann Coulter was a guest on Hannity. During her appearance,
in typical Coulter fashion, she made the over-the-top claim that she
was just fine with "death panels", which in her interpretation sound
more like execution panels, so long as she was a panel member. Oh, and
she apparently has a list of people she'd like to kill, Zeke Emanuel
being among them. Watch:
Of course, Coulter has made her career out of spouting sensational nonsense. However, she may have been out-played this time. I say that because the night before her appearance on Hannity, Stephen Colbert had already used the "I'm just fine with death panels as long as I get to be on them" line during his interview with John Cohn:
| The Colbert Report | Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c | ||
| Jonathan Cohn | |||

|
So, note to career nutters: Stephen Colbert has turned aping you into a science. You may want to spend a couple of hours a week watching his show to make sure that he hasn't already made a mockery of the ridiculous things you haven't yet had a chance to say.

Hi DF! Good to see you again!
My theory on Coulter is that Beck was getting all the headlines so she HAD to do something really outrageous to get attention. I think she must be a younger sibling - my baby brother makes of point of shouting odd declarations at family gatherings when the attention strays from him for any length of time.
Either that or she needs to be heavily medicated to keep that one voice under control.
Or both.
