Hitting the Ann Coulter nail on the head

The intro to CBC Radio's The Current this morning had it about right, imo:

Right-wing American pundit Ann Coulter, who is preparing a hate crime complaint against the University of Ottawa, says Muslims appear to be the only protected group in Canada. And with that, Coulter has been hailed as the Rosa Parks of the much-persecuted white, affluent, conservative, globe-trotting, best-selling, publicity seeking minority.

You can also listen to the program that proceeded:

Ann Coulter is scheduled to speak at the University of Calgary tonight. And with accusations of hate speech coming from so many directions, we thought it would be a good time to re-familiarize ourselves with what Canada's hate speech laws actually say. Sanjeev Anand is here to help with that. He's a law professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

2. I liked the OTHER analogy they used

"Ann Coulter is the Andy Kaufman of the 21st century"

4. That's what drives me nuts about her and the rest.

They get to be pundits until they decide they're merely entertainers.

That was a pretty good line, though.

10. You'd be booted from the human race

It's not good to mate outside one's own species.

6. Gotta love that dry humour...

"Coulter has been hailed as the Rosa Parks of the much-persecuted white, affluent, conservative, globe-trotting, best-selling, publicity seeking minority"

11. I like it when she's in Canada

That means she's not here in America.

Is there ANY country that doesn't want her to leave? :rofl:

12. Truth of the matter is

She knows she's irrelevant now, since Sarah Palin was in talks for a reality show. So Ann has to start spewing green vomit again, in a desperate attempt to get attention and regain her status as pinup skank for RW college boys.
