The Britney Spears of the Right

Cliff Kincaid says what needs to be said:

The political equivalent of Britney Spears shaving the  hair off her head, Ann Coulter made headlines at this year's Conservative  Political Action Conference (CPAC) by calling Democrat John Edwards a  faggot. Wearing a leather dress and a Christian cross around her neck, Coulter must be a liberal infiltrator whose purpose is to give  conservatism a bad name.

I really felt sorry for those Republican  presidential candidates who attended CPAC and were forced by the liberal media to respond to Coulter's remarks. It's guilt-by-association, but Coulter had to know that making such a remark would put those candidates in an uncomfortable, even embarrassing, position. As a former staffer and contributing editor of Human Events, I can't understand why this  conservative weekly publication continues to feature her on the masthead  as a "legal affairs correspondent" and puts her columns on page one. Jed  Babbin, the new editor, must be sick to his stomach. Coulter's columns are  anything but legal analysis.

The Insider's Alex Adrianson is more succinct:

Ann Coulter the Barbi Doll seems smarter than Ann Coulter the person.

She's a person?
