Coulter is finished...soon she will get help.
Advertisements [?]
I don't watch MSM news anymore partly because of creeps like Coulter. But alas, I watched the video clip as I found her comments about terrorists killing Edwards was totally out of line. The clip showed the "entertainment" value of her "self-absorbed" persona has gone way beyond the boundaries of reason.

She has finally "jumped her shark".

People were laughing at Coulter.

They laughed AT HER...not with her. (most of us have long been disgusted by her)

The MSNBC poll clearly shows that the public is done with her...so much so that they will avoid watching her as I have. I typically ignore her and the posts associated with her but this time I had to chime in.

We are all so sick of her. Her tired boring attacks are sophomoric at best.

We won't stop her from writing her columns. But publishers would be well advised to stop printing her crap because it will soon be a big loser. Television would do well to avoid her as she will ruin the credibility of any sane broadcast. Our "eat me now" culture loves entertainment and when it happens in our news programs we love it even more it seems. Thus why Ann keeps rising from the dead to splatter across the airwaves and and internet on a regular basis. But now it all seems so...unseemly...watching that clip made me want very uncomfortable. I am sure I am not the only one who felt that. Does the Neilsen control have a "uncomfortable" button or check box...?

Viewership, readership and sales will fall after her little episode yesterday and today. Who would want to invest in publishing a book by her? Who, now, would actually want to read her crap? Who wants to sell products wrapped with Ann Coulter's words? Maybe ten years ago when the Republicans were hungry and Bill Clinton bashing was all in the rage it may have been popular but now with the GOP clearly wrapped in scandal, lies and the nation in a never ending bloody war, her shrill attacks seem simply out of touch with what people need now. We need kindness, peace and reason to replace the lies, hate and division that people like Ann have supported for so many years. We are all so tired of it. Exhausted...worn out...even conservatives are feeling the shame and they express it as anger and nervous laughter...as they try to deny association.

I think of Ann like a mentally ill person that walks down the middle of the street shouting. Trying to get attention they strip themselves naked screaming at people as they avoid contact, they hurl empty threats and insults. Screaming until someone comes and takes them away and offers the help they need to calm the troubled mind. Ann needs this attention now. She no longer needs the attention of popular culture, she needs the attention of a doctor.

The time has come for popular culture avoid Ann...She needs to be helped now...not encouraged.

She is sick. And her sickness is effecting people around her in a negative way in ever increasing percentages. Time to leave her alone and let her find her true place in the real world not the fantasyland of television.
