Imagine Ann Coulter as the White House Press Secretary

Ann Coulter is many things — author, pundit, speaker, provocateur — but “diplomatic” is not one of them.

Yet she told a crowd gathered at the National Press Club for the National Journalism Center’s 30th anniversary that she deserves to have a job in which finesse is essential: White House press secretary. Coulter said that she would take the job for the last six months of the Bush administration. Of course, that’d be perfect timing: The final six months of any president’s second term is lame-duck time, when there’s little pressure to perform.

Or perhaps Coulter is simply tiring of her current occupation — writing books and op-eds — which she said “isn’t really a job.”

Hmmm. ... Coulter as press secretary. … What does the current occupant of the White House podium think about that? “I’m sure she would find it to be a fascinating experience,” said White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.

Following her speech, Coulter didn’t stray far from the Press Club, heading to Shelly’s Backroom to unwind — a suitably politically incorrect venue (it’s one of the few bars in the city where smoking is still permitted)
