The Bitch Of Bombast

I read this and this and this concerning the female right-wing criminal who, as I noted elsewhere on this page, once said Timothy McVeigh should have blown up the offices of the New York Times instead of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City (setting the precedent, as far as I'm concerned, for other right wingers including Pat Robertson to publicly state that they wanted to kill somebody), and I immediately recalled this quote from David Podvin on The Smirking Chimp last year (Daniel Pearlstine and Time should feel particularly stupid right about now for writing a cover story on her).

Ann Coulter is not merely eighty pounds of toxic sewage wrapped in six feet of reptile skin - she is the vicious ghoul that remains after conservatism has been scrubbed of its camouflage. Satan's concubine has been vocal in her belief that torturing anyone identified as the enemy is good, and that torturing them using the most excruciating techniques is better. Coulter is not alone in the desire to feast on human suffering. Although she is considerably less circumspect than other right wingers, it is instructive that not one prominent conservative has repudiated her.

Update: At least this is a step in the right direction (courtesy of The Huffington Post).

Update (again, 10/24/05): Some people never learn...
