…But no room for  Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, of course.  That kind of fruity talk is strictly for whiny socialist surrender monkeys.
You’re right, you sharp-eyed, sharp-memoried kids, I’ve gone here before.   Didn’t get it quite perfect the first time tho (as commenter Tony recently pointed out) so I went back to give it a bit of a makeover.  Better now, n’est-ce pas?

As the Wege reminds us:
“She’s not just Minnesota’s nutter anymore.  Now Michele Bachmann belongs to the entire nation.   Enjoy.”

Enjoy?  That’s not quite the word I’d use, but whatevs…

Is Michele Bachmann the new Sarah Palin?

Nailing Rush to the Republican’t party is a brilliant tactic,  you say.

Well, please remember who did it first, willya?!   Two years ago.

(Ann Coulter,  Rush Limbaugh  = same difference.)

Instead of paying lip service to the outraged multitudes by assuring us that Coulter is nothing more than a fringe wacko, a minor character, a mere entertainer who lays it on a little thick at times, Republicans should embrace Ann Coulter as the poster girl for true core Republican beliefs and values that she actually is.

UPDATE: Oh, why just read about it [...]]]> Jeebus H. Christ on a Triscuit, are there no depths to which this abomination won’t sink? At Friday’s session of this year’s CPAC, the single most important and influential event on the conservative movement calendar, Ann Coulter made her annual appearance and called John Edwards a “faggot.”

UPDATE: Oh, why just read about it when you can see and hear it for yourself?   Note especially the volume of the cheers that she receives for her brave and witty slur.  The sound of those cheers tells you everything you need to know about Ann Coulter’s distinguished conservative Republican audience.

[youtube uxgVuB3TyaU]

Immediately and predictably, outraged Democrats and Lefty Blogistan hollered.

But then, wonder of wonders, Republican presidential candidates McCain, Giuliani and Romney — most of whom had been at CPAC; Romney even introduced her at Friday’s event — also denounced Coulter’s comments in no uncertain terms.

Wow. I though it’d never happen but it seems that at last Ann Coulter has gone too far. This was the last straw; the last futile grab at our lapels by that desperate harpy attention whore, and now Coulter will finally sink into her well-deserved, eternal ignominy never to be heard from again. She had a good run, well exceeding her 15 minutes, but at last it’s over.
Reason has prevailed for once, and we can finally be rid of that meddlesome skank ho psycho. Celebration anyone?

Oh, and as a public service safety announcement I remind you all to please stand back and leave plenty of airspace for the flock of winged simians as they exit my ass.

I read only one truly accurate account of Coulter’s 2007 CPAC money quote moment. Glenn Greenwald nailed it.

[Coulter] is the face of what the hard-core Republican Party has become, particularly during the Bush presidency. That is why she holds the position she holds in that movement. That’s why Mitt Romney was giddy with glee when her name passed his lips. He knows that her endorsement is valuable precisely because she holds great sway within the party, and she holds great sway because the hard-core party faithful consider her a hero for expressing the thoughts which they themselves believe but which other, less courageous Republican figures are afraid to express.

This is not about a single comment or isolated remark. The more Ann Coulter says these things, the more popular she becomes in this movement. What this is about is that she reflects exactly what sort of political movement this is. She reflects its true impulses and core beliefs. If that were not the case, why would she continue to receive top billing at their most prestigious events, and why would she continue to be lavished with rock star-adoration by the party faithful?

Exactly. Oh, let the candidates clutch their pearls and broadcast their outrage in full-throated cry. As usual with Republicans, that outrage is all for show; it’s strictly for the rubes. It doesn’t mean a thing. Wanna know how I know this to be true? Answer me this:

Is there any doubt that Ann Coulter will be a featured speaker at next year’s CPAC? And what about the year after that? And the one after that?

Is there any doubt that, whenever it’s time for one of her publicity ops, she’ll always have a new, farther over the top quote about the Democratic target du jour?

Is there any doubt that she’ll continue to receive enthusiastic, standing O receptions from audiences at CPAC and all the other prestigious, conservative, Republican events that she will continue to be invited to?

Of course not. Absolutely no doubt. And why? Because, as Glenn pointed out, Ann is the face, not to mention what passes for the heart and soul of the new Republican party.

Instead of paying lip service to the outraged multitudes by assuring us that Coulter is nothing more than a fringe wacko, a minor character, a mere entertainer who lays it on a little thick at times, Republicans should embrace Ann Coulter as the poster girl for true core Republican beliefs and values that she actually is.

To that end, I want to offer my help. To further this true identification of Ann Coulter and the Republican party as indistinguishable one from the other, I will from this day onwards always identify Ms Coulter as a spokesperson for the Republican party, or in other ways make clear that when she speaks, it is the Republican party that is talking.
Let’s get this ball rolling, shall we?

What say you, rational blogosphere? Do you want to help spread this true identification of Ann Coulter throughout the vast network of Intertubal highways and byways? Here’s a couple of handy visual aids to get you started. Just clip ‘n’ save ….and [chuckle] use liberally!

Add this button to every picture of Ann Coulter you can find. It has a transparent background and can be easily re-sized..

Or attach this multi-purpose label. Again, it can be easily adapted for use on every photo of Ann Coulter no matter how oversized.

OK everybody: Let’s spread the word!

So, how’s your caseload over at Faegre & Benson these days, Johnny?  Things a little slow, are they?
