> [@McNew](#): > > That’s an embarrasingly ass-kissing introduction. I think the college president is trying for a little right-wing sump’m sump’m. It’s part of “Bless the Mic: A Hip-Hop President’s Lectures Series” Last year I went and saw Dr. Michael Eric Dyson when he was invited to lecture at Philander Smith as part of the series and the president gave a similiar introduction to the good doctor connecting him to hip-hop. I admire a college institution that would invite someone to speak even though they clearly aren’t going to agree with the students on campus. Marc ---

Wait a second, folks – I _am_ a conservative, or at least conservative-leaning, and I definately don’t claim her. Scroll up – I said she was bat-shit crazy and I stand by that. My dad is a bit more conservative than I am, and he also thinks she’s bat-shit crazy. And my mother’s even more conservative than _he_ is and she thinks Ann is _wombat_-shit crazy. ---

Since when has a pundit ever been anything _but_ batshit crazy? I don’t think Ann Coulter could hold her own for ten posts in GD. ---

I think “The crack problem has pretty much gone away” really means “I’m having trouble finding a rock.” That’d explain two things about her. ---

> [@DesertGeezer](#): > > If you think there was anything remotely funny about her comment, even though she calls it a “joke”, you may need to use steel wool in that shower. Her comment was about as funny as a dead baby joke, and just as thoroughly distasteful. 😕 Dead baby jokes are **funny!** Funnier, on average, than anything Coulter has ever said or written, including this. ---

I think you’re all missing the obvious. Coulter’s full quote was: “We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee. That’s just a joke, for you in the media.” That’s not a joke. A joke would be funny. Tasteless and offensive perhaps, but funny. What Coulter said was just inane. ---

> [@stpauler](#): > > What exactly is that law? Not surprisingly, there is no such law…he made it up. Indeed, these is specific case law that says [just the opposite](http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=394&invol=705). (This doesn’t mean that the Secret Service might not “investigate” said joke to determine that it was indeed “a joke”…and it certainly doesn’t mean that Coulter isn’t still an adiot). ---

I just couldn’t think of anything disgusting enough to compare to her lousy joke. I’m sure some others here could help me out in that department. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-im-not-having-dessert-with-ann-coulter/341913.md?page=2)
