Pat Robertson's Female Counterpart

Recently, during the Alito confirmation hearings, rabid far-right conservative "pundit" Ann Coulter made the comment: "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Judge Stevens' creme brulee . That's just a joke, for you in the media."

Right. A joke. Give me a break! A confirmation hearing for a prospective Supreme Court Justice isn't a laughing matter and it's a totally inappropriate venue for this kind of "humor".

Browsing the net, I found more asinine quotes from this individual, which follow below:

"It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in 1964—the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted."—May 2003

"Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorits don't hate America like liberals do. They don't have the energy. If they had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now."—(from Slander, pp. 5-6; published June 2002)

"In the history of the nation, there has never been a political party so ridiculous as today's Democrats. It's as if all the brain-damaged people in America got together and formed a voting bloc." - Jan 12, 2006

"If you don't hate Clinton and the people who labored to keep him in office, you don't love your country." -- George , July 1999
"I think [Whitewater]'s going to prevent the First Lady [Hillary Clinton] from running for Senate." -- Rivera Live Mar. 12, 1999

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."
-- Ann Coulter to George Gurley,-- New York Observer, August 21, 2002

"...a cruise missile is more important than Head Start."
-- Ann Coulter, Nov. 2001 speech rebroadcast by C-Span in Jan. 2002

"The presumption of innocence only means you don't go right to jail."
-- Ann Coulter, Hannity & Colmes,August 24, 2001

"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it! It's yours.'"
-- Ann Coulter, Hannity & Colmes,June 20, 2001

"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote. No, they all have to give up their vote, not just, you know, the lady clapping and me. The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."
-- Ann Coulter, Politically Incorrect, Feb. 26, 2001

"It's enough [to be impeached] for the president to be a pervert."
-- Ann Coulter, The Case Against Bill Clinton(1998, Regnery)

To a disabled Vietnam vet: "People like you caused us to lose that war."
-- Ann Coulter, MSNBC

"[Princess Diana's] children knew she's sleeping with all these men. That just seems to me, it's the definition of 'not a good mother.' ... Is everyone just saying here that it's okay to ostentatiously have premarital sex in front of your children?...[Diana is] an ordinary, and pathetic, and confessional. I've never had bulimia! I've never had an affair! I've never had a divorce! So I don't think she's better than I am."
-- Ann Coulter, MSNBC September 19, 1997

"I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote."
-- Ann Coulter, Hannity & Colmes, August 17, 1997

"Anorexics never have boyfriends. ... That's one way to know you don't have anorexia: if you have a boyfriend."
-- Ann Coulter, Politically Incorrect, July 21, 1997

"My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism."
-- Ann Coulter, MSNBC, February 8, 1997

"The FBI allowed thousands of Americans [in the WTC] to be slaughtered on the altar of political correctness. What more do liberals want?"
--This Whistle-Blower They Like, June 13, 2002

And so on, ad nauseum. Reading this dreck makes me wonder if she's a blood relative of Pat Robertson...
