Ann Coulter: You're stupider than I am

[Jyqm]

I just read this as well. It's always nice when people reconfirm your worst prejudices against them.

But my favorite part was this:

Before cutting off her speech after about 15 minutes, Coulter called Bill Clinton an "executive buffoon" who won the presidency only because Ross Perot took 19 percent of the vote.

I mean, first of all, you've got the inherent hilarity of any Bush lackey questioning the legitimacy of someone else's presidency.

But also: sour grapes, much? Clinton's been out of office for five whole years, during which time conservatives have held an iron grip on nearly every facet and level of government, but they're still obsessed with the guy. They can't stop talking about him for even five minutes. It's incredible how important a figure he is in their mythology. And somehow, he's still the scapegoat for everything Bush does wrong.

"How can you support Bush when he did X?"
"Yeah well, Clinton did Y!"
"That didn't answer my question."
"Clinton was the worst president ever!"
"Okay... but -"
"And Hillary's even worse! Actually, we hope the Democrats nominate her!"
"But that's not what I -"
"And Chelsea's ugly!"
