Ann Coulter: The Conservative Madonna?

Is Ann Coulter truly interested in supporting conservatives or is she more interested in lining her own brassiere with Benjamin Franklin's?

Not that the infamously randy Mr. Franklin would mind filling out her bustline, but Ann managed to obscure even her fellow Cornellian Bill Maher's idiotic comments about Vice President Dick Cheney's recent close call with a bomber.

Ann Coulter managed this feat by using the word "faggot" as part of a punchline about Democrat Presidential Primary Candidate John Edwards. Since then, I've seen non-stop coverage of Ms. Coulter's remark and only heard a brief bit about Bill Maher's gaffe on Bill Bennet's radio show. It seems the Mainstream Media believes a homosexual slur tops distasteful remarks about assassination attempts against our Vice-President. Personally, I think both comments are unworthy of the intelligent conversation Mr. Maher and Ms. Coulter could provide.

Both Bill Maher and Ann Coulter managed to create controversy in a very intentional, calculated way where they didn't actually say what the headlines claimed they said. Unlike John Kerry's recent so-called "botched joke" about our soldiers, I don't for a second believe that either of Mr. Maher or Ms. Coulter misspoke or didn't mean to say exactly what they said or even regret what they said.

Both of them wanted to create controversy because the controversy sells.

Ann Coulter may have unbelievable solid and impressive conservative credentials (founder of the Cornell Review, Senate Judiciary Committee employee after the Republicans 1994 takeover of Congress, to name but a few), nowadays she acts more like another blonde with a taste for controversy-- Madonna.

Now if she would only wear that pointed bra outfit next time she's on Bill Maher's HBO show.
