Ann Coulter dismisses Joe Biden as a "drunken Irishman" who's "20 million times" less qualified than Palin
Of course, we're all too familiar with Ann Coulter's schtick: Say something outrageous that will get you lots of attention, then compound it by saying something even more outrageous. It's all for show.
Yesterday on Fox News' weekly Geraldo Rivera show, Coulter was true to form, calling Vice President Joe Biden a "drunken Irishman":
Coulter: It almost is kind of effective to send out this drunken Irishman to respond to Dick Cheney. It's like sending out the White House dog. It's saying, 'We so don't respect you we're sending in Joe Biden.'
Funny how Ann Coulter always manages to sound like a Know Nothing, isn't it? She is, after all, the philosophical and cultural descendant of Bill the Butcher.
Coulter also told Rivera that she thinks Sarah Palin's not running for the presidency:
Coulter: I think I can save you a lot of trouble over the next three years. I don't even think Sarah Palin's going to run, and I think it's not particularly likely that she'll be our nominee. So she's huge, she's popular, she has enormous influence. The same can be said for Oprah, the same can be said for Rush Limbaugh. And I don't know why we have to keep asking in the media, 'Is she running for president?'
Of course, neither Oprah or Limbaugh are professional politicians with a history of office-seeking. Unlike, say, Sarah Palin, who now has no job outside of being a political celebrity -- while Oprah and Limbaugh both have lucrative day jobs. Of course she's running -- she just knows she can't announce too early.
We'll be saving this clip for the day Palin finally makes it official. Because Coulter, like so many right-wingers, has a terrific track record of being dead wrong.
But what really rankled Coulter was Joe Trippi's somewhat apt comparison of Palin to Jesse Jackson. This is more than Coulter can bear, who compulsively returns, like a dog to its vomit, to her earlier ethnic smear of Biden:
Coulter: How about comparing Joe Biden with Sarah Palin? She's twenty million times more qualified than he is.
Rivera: How do you say that? A two-year governor against a long Senate career. Anyway --
Coulter: How long are we gonna pretend Biden is not just some drunken Irishman embarrassing Obama?
Yeh, that's pretty damned funny. While Joe Biden served on the Senate Foreign Relations committee for 30 years, Sarah Palin was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, where her most important policy issues involved where to place sewage-treatment plants and whether or not to pave certain roads in town, and then served two brief years as the governor of one of the smallest state electorates in the nation. Twenty million more times, indeed.

Does ANYBODY listen to this washed-up old hag anymore? Really, who gives a crap what venom spews out of her maw?

It's not polite to speak of the deceased that way.
all she knows how to do is get up and say inflammatory disparaging BS to get media attention. It's old now like she is looking. What a sea-hag.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
I don't know,when the camera is on her,before she speaks,she looks dead inside.Then the shot of her from the side,unhealthy.I think Ann is dying.I've lost family and friends,same look.

over and out.
"Coulter: How long are we gonna pretend Biden is not just some drunken Irishman embarrassing Obama?"
Ohhhh, I dunno. About as long as everyone pretends you're not just some bitter old troll with a giant stick up her ass?
Anyway, I thought she loved drunken Irishmen. She has one on that very network.
why anyone has her on their show is beyond me. she has literally added nothing to the world but moments of silliness and simple mindedness. honestly i think it would do us all a great deal of justice not to listen to anything that starts to form in her head and makes it to her lips

What would you expect from a Faux "News" talk show?
But what's much worse is the outright viciousness and lying. I wish SOMEONE would sue the boring black cocktail dress off Coultergeist's back (which she wears morning, noon and night; no fashion sense at all), but no one does. Maybe it's best to ignore her, as most liberal politicians do.
Putting aside that Coulter is nothing but a circus clown, I'm not convinced she's wrong about Palin not running. There's a reason why Palin quit the governorship only halfway through her first term: she found out that it's hard work to actually have executive authority and be accountable to people who disagree with you. Both the governorship *and* the '08 campaign smacked her in the face, and the only answer she had about her critics was to accuse them of being on a witch hunt.
Do you really think she's going to give up her lucrative gig grifting on the teabaggers to go back into that kind of hell? She might, but I have severe doubts.
Palin has to flirt with running, because otherwise there's no reason to pay attention to her. But I think she's figured out that this is her opportunity to cash in on her fame, and she'd rather be making money than making decisions.
Palin has zero chance of being elected to any office. Zero. But, like you say, she is going to ride this thing as far as she can and make as much as she can, while she can. She will never be named to any cabinet post, either. Too stupid.
:(
Corruption favors the wealthy.

I thought she disappeared since the last book didn't do so well.
compared to Biden. I've heard buzz saws that sound less shrill than AC.
Sarah and Ann draw a lot of crowd attention but so does a two headed calf. My dog, Martini, is a quicker study than Palin. Plus he doesn't have to write his commands on his paw.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I'll bet Martini didn't attend 5 different colleges en route to his higher degree!
Nope, he's naturally talented. :)
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Speaking of Martini, if there are any dog lovers around here, Westminster Dog Show starts tonight. You can catch it on USA at 8:00 and then go to cnbc at 9:00 to watch until 11:00.
This FYI seems so appropriate when speaking of another bitch. :)
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
She must have another book to sell.
Drunken Irishman, she does love her racist jibes, I'm surprised she did'nt call him a mick.
If she does have another tree corpse (otherwise known as a book) I'm willing to bet that it will sell for even les than her last tree corpse.
It will probably be titaled; "Look at me! I'm still relevant! Look at meeeee!"

well, she oughta know. as it takes one to know one. but all the same i'll take Biden over the feral cur that she is. she was born spayed or neutered as her gender is indeterminate.
The white house dog is named Bo. Biden's son is named Bo. I'm surprised she didn't go all ugly on that.
If she didn't come on and say mean heartless things, she would have no gig at all. She's a Shock Chick....or at her age maybe a Shock Hen.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
and it therefor escaped her. P)
Come on guys. Enough with this idiot. I'm sure you could write about other stuff than her or anything related with her.
"A black belt is not what you were, it is what you become"
I think its good to point out the ridiculousness of someone like her when they crawl out of their sewer homes to spew their bile, it helps to show that the things they say are not to be taken seriously.

Funny how Ann Coulter always manages to sound like a Know Nothing, isn't it?
No, it's not funny. It's on purpose and it's very sick.
This vile human being is given a very loud and obnoxious voice on corporate media precisely because she is a Princess in Know Knothing Knation, and the more "controversy" she generates, the better, as far as her enablers are concerned. (In this context, "controversy" simply means the ability to string together English phrases that are insulting to decent people who believe in antiquated American understandings of freedom, equality and rationality.)
By listening to her, racists and other bigots around the world upset with their apparent waning power think, "Hallelujah! Someone finally voices my opinions! It's about time we ended the oppression of the former oppressors!"
This is not funny. Not funny at all. It's a sign that America is failing.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
That pretty much says it all.

And exaggeration thy name is Coulter. What a useless feck this woman is.
Seems like the only time we hear from her is when she's pimping a book. What's the title of this one?
is intended to be a factual statement
Yes, Coulter is vile. And a liar. I'm not sure if she is a crook but probably.
But still, she isn't the "real" problem with this scene. The problem is that she holds court on a major media outlet. They know her, what she is and what she does. And they have her on over and over and over again to spew her bile.
The airways are supposedly public. This crap shouldn't be allowed in this way.
Isn't Biden a teetotaller? Someone who abstains from drinking alcohol?
Biden enjoys his cocktails.
'We, the People'............rimshot................hahahahahaha!
From NYT article:
"Mr. Biden then entered the dining car and whispered something to the woman behind the counter, Joanne. He ordered a bottle of water and a “Cranberry cocktail.”
A reporter expressed surprise that Biden would partake of a “cocktail” at this afternoon hour.
“I’m the only guy you know who doesn’t drink,” Biden said, adding that he has never taken a drink in his life.
“Too many alcoholics in my family,” he explained."
How long are we gonna pretend Coulter is not just some [pre-emptive self-deletion of you-know-what] embarrassing humanity?
Coulter can be ignored. Biden cannot.

stop being so jealous. IMHO, most of the ridicule that is aimed toward the Obama Administration is because of its' competency when compared to the GWB administration. Losers usually feel a strong need to defend other losers. Although Palin, Coulter, Murdoch, Ailes, etc are rich, they are also losers. They have no concern for anyone outside of their small klan of losers who hide their white robes in the back of their closets.

How long do we put up with Coulter embarrassing America?
For Coulter, 'Irishman' is code word for 'Roman Catholic'. She is pandering to her Protestant Evangelical Base.
She isn't an evangelical. I'm pretty sure she's one of those New England Episcopalians, but I suppose a lot of the hillbillies are lusting after her in their hearts.
As for her "base," I think base is a pretty good word to describe her comments. Someone gave me one of her books as a joke -- I'd sure never buy one -- I think it was the one about talking to a liberal.
I read 30 or 40 pages, and the thing that fascinated me about it, you might call it the way looking at a rattlesnake "fascinates" you, is that what she says is entirely negative. She never suggests good ideas, and her only compliments are for other Wingnuts in the Limbaugh/Hannity wing.
Ask her about Jeremy Levensohn.

quick mind, but it's totally focused on negativity and cute, snarky hits of sarcasm like blasts of dynamite that vilify liberals. I really can't figure out why she does what she does; my best guess is notoriety and money, b/c if she has 2 brain cells, she herself knows she is full of s**t. I think she knows and doesn't care. I know I wouldn't want to meet her in person.
Palin also built that 25 million dollar ice rink the lunged Wasilla into debt that the town still has not recovered from.
..is almost as silly as a wave pool in Hawaii.

We donate several bags of food twice each month to the local food pantry. They have a thrift store there as well. Week before last when we made our delivery, I was standing in the thrift store just looking at the books that had been donated. I had to smile when I saw one of Anne's books. I guess whomever it had belonged to had decided it wasn't a treasure worth keeping.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I read the header but that's as far as I care to go.
..I know, he's on faux, how could he ever have any integrity? At one time, when he was starting out in NYC, I liked him but he's jumped the shark (Al Capone's safe) and gone to the dark side (by being on faux). When little annie used the epithet: "drunken irishman", why didn't geraldo throw her off his show? I know, I know, faux, but the other day, Lawrence O'Donnell calls out speechwriter thiessen for lying and scarborough tries to silence O'Donnell; I don't get it: Its okay to call our Vice President a "drunken irishman" but calling out a liar isn't And we wonder why the media is called "liberal" which it doesn't seem to be. scar was wrong not to let O'Donnell keep going; its not like he was being rude or calling thiessen names or anything AND geraldo doesn't have the integrity to shut little annie up or say much about the epithet she used. And welcome to the shameful state of the main stream media.

And yet, you continue to give her the attention she craves.

Coulter seriously when she ends by screaming that Palin is more qualified than Biden? Seriously? At this point were just being a stupid talking head not worth a second of my time.
..absolutely ludicrous. she's a quitter and annie knows it. by 2012 palin will be more irrelevant than she is now and annie is irrelevant; all she is a loud-mouth.

Look, I'm not exactly a Jesse Jackson fan...but to compare Palin to him is really insulting to not only Jackson but the issue of civil rights that he has represented over the years. Jackson is smart, Palin is intellectually challenged. Jackson is a minister; Palin is a mini-moron. Jackson has exceptional oratory skills; Palin um doesn't.
Yes they're both polarizing figures but the reasons for this are so wildly different that it's impossible to make any kind of a meaningful comparison between the two. It's a really stupid comparison. A better comparison might be Palin to Pat Paulsen.
Paulsen isn't an apt comparison either. His candidacy was an ironic commentary on the state of politics. Palin couldn't even spell irony, much less use it in any fashion.
The most apt comparison would be with Dan Quayle. He was just as idiotic, feckless, and useless a human being, and the idea of him gaining real power was just as terrifying.

Palin and Quayle: both pretty faces and empty vessels.
How long are we going to pretend this drunken bleached blonde yeast infection is worthy of being televised or even quoted? What makes her opinions more newsworthy than those expressed by the sodden barflies down at the local trough'n'brew?
As for the White House dog (Bo), he's much better looking than this Coulter woman(?) and easily twenty million times more qualified than she to express opinions regarding political issues.
The lefter I go, the righter I get...
So that makes her 20 MILLION times less qualified to be in a conversation with a human than a pile of garbage??
I still contend that suggesting that Coulterguist is a stupid, blond, bimbo gives blonds and bimbos a bad rap....

brilliant ! Trust me if I ran a blog ( hint hint ) she would not even get mentioned for reasons I stated above and no , I didn't waste my time watching the video . Maybe you can bless us with some Coulter from Youtube ?

I'd suggest that Ms. Coulter avoid visiting Scranton PA or Wilmington DE as there is about 50,000 "drunken Irishmen" in either place that would be willing to kick her skanky bitch ass to hell.
I suppose in her view Joe's son, Captain Bo Biden, now serving with the US Army is just another "drunken Irishman". The kind that died before the bloody wall at Fredricksburg or Gettysburg, or at Chateau-Thierry, or kicking the Brits out of most of Ireland.
What an insulting, worthless piece of human garbage.

Can you picture Coulter dressed in black leather, riding boots and crop, with a military cap on her head and a swastika arm band on and working as one of the bitches of Buchenwald concentration camp. All Irishmen should immediately join any political party other than the Fascist republican party. This "Thing" Coulter can go to Hades!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
I don't watch most of them any more. I will read what they have written, but why would anyone watch when you know before you do that it will be just fucking insane crap. I mean really republicans are fucking morons. The ones that are not stupid are just greedy criminal reprobates.
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
Ann Coulter starts saying vicious, idiotic, and bigoted things about anybody who disagrees with her?
That's right kids...she must be coming out with another book.

Pundits
Pundits are the rich orphans of the media business. Some are former reporters, some are former political operatives, and some are just propagandists in the Limbaugh mold. Among them, transmitters are common, many of them picking up far-right memes because of their outrageousness quotient: the best way to make your reputation as a pundit is to say something that makes headlines. No publicity is bad publicity, as they say. And the demand for pushing that "cutting edge" farther rightward becomes insatiable.
Pundit-transmitters range front one-time liberals, like Christopher Hitchens, to barely concealed extremists, like David Horowitz and Michael Savage. In between, it was commonplace to hear the late Barbara Olson repeat a Patriot legend, or for Peggy Noonan to indulge in plainly irresponsible speculations about Muslims, often straight out of the nativist handbook. The most notorious of them, probably, is Ann Coulter.
The effect of all these voices is rarely direct or acute but rather cumulative. The effect on audiences of hearing this ever-more-outrageous hatefulness repeated endlessly and in the guise of mainstream speech can be lasting and profound. But who, exactly, are the audience, who are the receivers of these transmissions?

I've made it a point to never hit a woman before, after all my dad taught me a long time ago it was wrong. even though I always figured Ann Coulter was the proverbial exception to the rule. But after all that's been said about her here, if the opportunuty ever reared it's head, I wouldn't have to worry about it, according to you guys she's a guy.
Richard Belzer said it best though, when he called her a "nazi party favor".
In my humble opinion, the media is extremely irresponsible for even putting people that would say things like this on the air. Words do have consequences.
In addition, this is an insult to women. There are plenty of very intelligent and responsible women out there. Why does a station put such an idiot on, other than to hold up a blonde, decent looking female as a stereotype of the "dumb blonde." Bottom line......I hold the station responsible.
has Joe Biden been arrested for DWI? None that I know of. How many times for Dick Cheney? Isn't it three? Project much Ann?

Ann is just "bidin'" her time until Tim Burton makes another "Nightmare Before Christmas" movie. He has promised her a role. Or two.
No one's even shocked by anything this harridan says anymore. She's a one trick pony. And I do mean trick.
Can someone tell me why Coulter wears those short hooker skirts? No, seriously. I honestly don't get it. What is she trying to prove? She should really be careful with those things. She sits wrong just once and her penis could come flying out and just dangle there for all to see.
