But something else happened. These are boom times for the right. Certain political sectors thrive when their side is out of power, and commentary is one of them. Being on the outside, and being angry at those on the inside, can be invigorating. That's why subscriptions to liberal magazines tend to go up when there's a Republican in the White House, and subscriptions to conservative magazines go up when there's a Democrat in the White House. But even though Barack Obama should have been great for Coulter, Inc., the right wing has passed her by. Her act seems somehow out of place. It's not that there isn't plenty of hate on the right, but Coulter's hate was just pure venom, without much point to it. She had none of the crazy conspiracy theories that have become de rigueur. She shot out in all directions, while the people at the top of the heap now, like Glenn Beck, are convinced they are driven by a complex and coherent ideology, complete with a Founding Father fetishism that would sound insincere coming from Coulter.

So she's been left behind, never to grace the cover of a national newsmagazine again. Tragic.

Sorry Annie but you've got a lot of work to do to keep up with the other wingnuts pulling the Republican Party into Crazy Town. Just calling liberals names doesn't cut it these days.
