Vignette: You’re stuck on a tropical island with no hope of rescue. There’s food and fresh water to subsist, but no iPod, no plasma TV, no PS-3, you get the idea. You MUST choose from one (and only one) of two female life companions: arch-conservative Ann Coulter or arch-conservative Leni Riefenshahl. Moderators: We promise to keep this flame free and cool headed. 😉 ---

Ann in a heartbeat. ---

Leni Riefenstahl. I can’t deal with Ann Coulter and at the very least, Leni was a filmmaker so we’d have at least something to talk about. Would Leni Riefenstahl be there in her prime? It IS a desert island after all… ---

Hmmm … they’re both Nazis, but at least Leni had talent. ---

Leni, definitely. ---

Ann Coulter. Two words: Angry sex ---

I could probably turn Coulter out. Leni’s vision would seduce me. ---

Leni. At the very least, she could teach me German. I’m already fluent in 20 dialects of Shrill Bitch, no need for Ann there. ---

For appearance, Coulter looks hard while Riefenstahl looks severe. I am not attracted to “hard” women. Much more importantly, Riefenstahl had a brain. ---

Leni, definitely! The woman would have tons of interesting stories to tell. Plus, in her youth she wasn’t too bad-looking, and she was rather liberal when it came to the human body (at least that’s the impression you get from watching “Olympia”). ---

Leni, definetly. Partly because I despise Coulter, but mostly because I’m really a Nazi war criminal hiding in South America. Oops. ---

Aha! You were bound to slip up sooner or later, Herr Miller. 😛 Count me in for Ann, though. I’m sure you could find some way to use her hate to power a boat of some kind. ---

Leni Riefenstahl. Seeing as how [she’s dead](http://www.bartleby.com/65/ri/RiefenstlL.html), she wouldn’t be competing with me for coconuts and other scarce resources. ---

Ann Coulter…things would get rough and dirty. She’d be begging me to settle for a Lewinsky. ---

Leni, so long as I can be boss. I don’t want to be rescued saying, “I vas just following orders.” ---

Leni. She was pretty hot [back in the day](http://www.culturevulture.net/Books/LeniRiefenstahl.htm) , in a Morticia Addams meets Ilsa, She-Wolf Of The SS kinda way. ---

Leni Riefenstahl was not a member of the Nazi Party. Nor does it seem she shared Nazi beliefs. Her politics were pretty much whoever would hire her. As she said, she would have made a film about Stalin if Stalin gave her the money. ---

Is it just me, or does she coincidentally look quite a bit like Coulter in that picture? Or is it not a coincidence, and Coulter is the result of some kind of master-race breeding program and crafted from Riefenstahl’s DNA?
