Ann Coulter: Bill Clinton a latent homosexual

[eruthros]

Okay, I am posting way too much today, but ... I can't leave this transcript of an Ann Coulter interview alone.

Sample discussion, c&ped from Wonkette's transcript:

Ms. COULTER: I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality.
DEUTSCH: OK, I think you need to say that again. That Bill Clinton, you think on some level, has — is a latent homosexual, is that what you’re saying?
Ms. COULTER: Yeah. I mean, not sort of just completely anonymous — I don’t know if you read the Starr report, the rest of us were glued to it, I have many passages memorized. No, there was more plot and dialogue in a porno movie.

And it gets weirder! Again c&ped: "Ms. COULTER: No. I think anyone with that level of promiscuity where, you know, you — I mean, he didn’t know Monica’s name until their sixth sexual encounter. There is something that is — that is of the bathhouse about that." It's all so mind-boggling that I could have easily cut and pasted the whole darn thing here. I mean! Ann Coulter's assertion that promiscuity = "obsession with your own — with your own essence" and is "reminiscent of a bathhouse."

Go read it and stare in astonishment. (Watch out for the comments, though, as there are a number of sex and sexuality-based ad hominem attacks on Ann Coulter. I mean, she makes no sense, and I call her stuff bullshit all the time, but some of the comments contain content that I find pretty darn offensive.)

I am floored. Why doesn't she just go on Oprah and jump around on a sofa, so the rest of the world can dismiss her, already??

Ha! Well put.

*dies laughing* Ann Coulter cracks my shit up. She says/writes the strangest things. I occasionally think that she must be either a closet Liberal trying to make Conservatives look nutzoid by association, or a clever Conservative tool designed to trap everyone in morbid fascination while they quietly take over the world unnoticed. I mean, not really, just, she's just so impossible to fathom in her bizarreness that it seems like the explanation for her should be equally bizarre.

[eruthros]

Right, exactly! Because she applies "logic" in ways so brain-bending that I find it hard to believe that she believes what she says. I mean, there she is, all the time:
Calling the Democratic National Convention the "Spawn of Satan convention;"
Saying liberals are "trying to fake a belief in God;"
Letting us know that "the safest place for Osama bin Laden isn't in Afghanistan or Pakistan; it's in The New York Times building;"
Claiming that liberals "encourage every form of polymorphous perversity, which, by the way, does have public health consequences -- but no, no, no, no. That -- that -- you know, anal sex and fisting, that's part of our deepest privacy rights;"
Writing "I prefer a firing squad [for NYTimes executive editor Keller], but I'm open to a debate on the method of execution."

And every time, I stand there with my mouth gaping open. How can she possible believe that? Liberals think fisting is one of our deepest privacy rights? Who huh what now?

OTOH, she's right: it gets her tons of media attention. And it means that I can't just dismiss her as a total fruitcake, because she does get media attention, and because people actually believe her.

(I include, as a postscript, one of my favorite Ann Coulter quotes ever: "You have a debate with the most Bible-thumping, fundamentalist, born-again Jesus freak Christian, i.e., someone like myself, about anything. Darwinism, gay marriage, abortion. Anything. You'll have a perfectly pleasant argument. Try talking with a liberal about a lit cigarette in a nonsmoking section, if you want to see fanaticism.")

I, for one, *do* believe that fisting is one of my deepest privacy rights. I mean, if Ann Coulter gets her way I guess I'll be forced to broadcast my personal fisting habits, in diary-like form:

Monday- only fisted twice today, but as I'm getting over that cold, perhaps I shouldn't expect to be totally up to my old fisting standard.

Tuesday- feeling much better, and boy, I have been fisting up a storm!

Wednesday- God, I haven't fisted *at all* today! What is wrong with me?? Of course, it is only noon, so maybe some new fisting opportunities will present themselves in the next couple of hours. We can only hope.

*g* You'd have to rename your journal "Joie de livre: now with fisting."

Also, it just occurred to me that the phrase "fisting is one of the deepest privacy rights" is unintentionally hilarious. *is twelve*
