Ann Coulter: "Evil is the new skinny."
Ann Coulter, right wing harridan of some note, got the prize for nastiest tweet of last week when she punched "Bill Clinton is probably impregnating Sandra Fluke backstage right now," into her iPhone before Clinton addressed the crowd at the Democratic National Convention.
This raw, nasty and unintelligent slur is far from the most despicable thing Ann has ever said; she has previously asserted that soccer moms are incapable of linear thinking, that Jews would be better off if they all mass-converted to Christianity and that her only quarrel with Timothy McVeigh is that he did not set off his bomb at the New York Times building.
Contrast these comments with fellow rabble-rouser Rush Limbaugh's observations that feminism was invented to empower ugly women and that media billionairess Oprah Winfrey wouldn't have made a dime if she wasn't black and you can see that Coulter is playing in the same league as Limbaugh, if not actually leading it.
Why then (and this is the astonishing injustice) does Coulter make less than 3% of Limbaugh's income? Contrast the figures here and here and you'll see that Limbaugh sits on a Romneyesque pile of loot, Ann Coulter's net worth is a paltry 8.5 million bucks. Why, a certain high-ranking black government employee in Washington is worth that much. (Hint: His initials are B.O.) This fact must be a source of constant humiliation to Ms. Coulter.
She presents xenophobia and murder as common-sense solutions to the world's problems as artfully as Limbaugh; she detests all women, all minorities, and most white men as fervidly as Rush; she presents her points with the same IMAX viciousness as he. Show her the money!
Defenders of Limbaugh's wealth may rush to point out that the bloated Floridian deserves more cheese because he is the senior ranter and he is unquestionably uglier than Coulter. The answer to those two arguments is the same; not by much. Limbaugh's physical resemblance to alien warlord Jabba the Hut has been noted here previously; Ann Coulter can only fairly be described as horse-faced, even though that is an insult to a beautiful, noble animal that has served humankind for thousands of years. The rest of the Coulter physique looks to be dessicated by alcohol and wizened by tanning creams; indeed, if the booze ever wicks close enough to her surface that it interacts with the gels that render her tan, she may suddenly melt like the Wicked Witch of the West, whom, it now occurs to me, she would also closely resemble if her skin was green instead of orange.
Limbaughnistas may also feel that Limbaugh's draft-dodging during Vietnam and then banging unmercifully on the drums of war for every subsequent conflict, making him a 'chickenhawk', and advocating life sentences for drug dealers and then negotiating probation for himself when convicted on a drug offense gives him a résumé in hypocrisy that befits his higher pay grade. I hate to sound like a liberal here, but Coulter can't be faulted for the circumstance of being born female and not subject to the draft or for the fact that vodka is legal.
Arise, Ann Coulter! If anyone is a victim of unequal pay for equal work, it is you. If you can't get them to pass that Lily-Ledbetter thing, and no one seems able to, or even knows for certain what it is, you can always join Occupy.
