Kookiness All Around

It’s comforting to know that there are just as many kooks on the right as there are on the left. For liberals, there’s the kooky Michael Moore. For conservatives, there’s the kooky Ann Coulter. You may recall the mild uproar about her “raghead” comments at CPAC (a convention or something for conservatives). Guess what? She wrote a Townhall op-ed piece apparently based on her speech. Or maybe she just read her op-ed at CPAC. (Two paychecks for the price of one!)

Anyway, in her article, Muslim bites dog, since her insights are not particularly noteworthy, she resorts to insulting, inflammatory (or kooky, if you like) language (not to mention judicious use of her head shot) to separate herself from the rest of the conservative pack.

I’ll try to summarize her view: She feels we should disarm Iran immediately, just in case. Further, the Syrian government violated the NATO treaty by allowing cartoon protesters to “torch” the Danish embassy, so we are treaty-bound to “bomb them back to the Stone Age.” And she thinks Muslims smell bad. Oh, and everything is the Commie liberals’s fault. (I think all conservatives are contractually bound to write that last part whenever they set pen to paper.)

So thanks to Ann’s insightful commentary, we now know that Iran and Syria might be threats, and we might have to take action against them. Way to stay on the ball, Ann. Now go back to brushing your hair for your next photo-op.
