• And so is "half-wit" Jim Jeffords, the Vermont senator who defected from the
Republican party. He's also "D-U-M-M."
And what really burns Coulter is that, in the fawning liberal media,
Jim Jeffords's degree from Yale cannot be cited often enough. (And consider that
Jeffords got into Yale long before the terrorizing regime of the SATs, back when
admission to the Ivy Leagues turned on social class rather than standardized
tests.)
Quick. Yale, low SATs, social class? You thinking about who I'm thinking about?
Yet, on page 33, how does Coulter answer people who think our president may not be
the brightest star in the firmament? Why, he "graduated from Yale College and Harvard
Business School."
So consistency is not the woman's strong point. Take, for example, Chapter Two,
"The Gucci Position on Domestic Policy," where we're told that "liberals thrive on the attractions
of snobbery" and that "Democrats actually hate working-class people"! Later Coulter
calls the phrase "working families" "a euphemism for families in which no one works."
Does that seem maybe the tiniest bit elitist to you? And can you imagine just how
hard Ann Coulter works! It takes time and effort to find stuff to take out of context, to make
up or distort things that The New York Times did or did not print, to devise overloaded Nexis
searches, to ... wait a minute. No, that's wrong. I've been doing a lot of fact-checking and
such (or at least TeamFranken has), and by God, it's a lot more work than just making shit up.
No, come to think of it, Coulter is just plain lazy.
But then again, like any movement conservative, Coulter is a firm believer in the free
market. By definition, anything that succeeds in "the marketplace of ideas," like her books,
must inherently be of value. And, therefore, unlike members of working families, she really
does work for a living.
Here's something to think about, though. A friend of mine works in the hotel industry.
About 65 percent of the movies that are ordered in hotels are "adult movies." Clearly, two
blondes going down on each other is a real winner in the marketplace of ideas. My all-time
favorite stat: The average length of time those movies are on is ... twelve minutes. That is my
favorite statistic in life.
