“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Ann Coulter, comedian

Michigan Republicans apparently love Ann Coulter, asking her to speak at political fundraisers for the party, despite the use of the ethnic slur "raghead" in her latest public appearances. Said GOP party co-chairman Karl Hascall:
"Ann Coulter is an entertainer who does political commentary. She uses extreme statements to get her point across. I wouldn't go around calling Arabs ragheads but, in certain contexts, such as comedy, that's accepted."

Because ethnic slurs are hilarious. And who doesn't love a good "raghead" joke? Maybe some jokes about poisoning Supreme Court Justices? She's got those covered, too:
"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said.

Or how about jokes on terrorist attacks on the media. Gotta love her:
My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building.

My sides are splitting from laughing so hard. Thanks, Michigan GOP, for embracing the laughter of killing journalists and liberal Supreme Court justices. I simply cannot wait for the new material I'm sure she'll have prepared for you.
