Which fictional character reminds you of Ann Coulter?
For me, it's Sarah in Ed Edd & Eddy (for those of you who watch the show, you'll know, she's the sister from hell)

47. Medusa, the head Gorgon.
Medusa and her sisters had the upper torsos of women attached to the lower torsos of dragons and had snakes instead of hair. And if a human looked at them, s/he would turn to stone from the horror.

5. The Wicked Witch of the West - and she is always in a terminal state
of screeching and melting. Now if she would just finally end up in a nasty puddle.....

10. A nasty puddle it would be, too!
Actually, if she were swallowed by a 20 foot gator . . .

Nah, I shouldn't say that.

They'd kill the gator, after all.

20. No, THAT witch actually ate. Coulter doesn't.
She just masticates small children and spits them out.

7. You know, I try to give shills like her a fair shake...
...so I pick up (never buy!) one of their books in B-Noble (making sure no one sees me and mistakenly decides that since I'm reading it it might be worth checking out...), and open it up to any old random chapter, and within 10 seconds recognize some lie or halftruth, and just toss it out of disgust. (Yesterday it was that "How to Talk to a Liberal" crap.)

Then I go read some Chomsky.

11. Physically, Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
I will always picture the animated (Disney) version in my mind. "Are they shovels or are they feet?"

Ichabod was much nicer, though. As far as personality, something along the lines of Ren, in Ren and Stimpy.

46. That's right, I can still see the poor man's face...

... everytime his daughter entered the room... I would imagine Ann's mother was a little like Mrs. Olson too...

Poor Melissa Gilbert... Child-stars seem to suffer so, don't they?

It's an act she puts on to sell books. She's not really that insane.

38. No, I really don't think so.
I think her television/print persona is a right-wing charicature.

I do believe she has no soul for being such a shill. But her "logic" and "reasoning" are insane when taken at face-value. It's an act.

Now her fans...they are definitely lunatic fringe. Not only are they crazy, but they are stupid for thinking that Ann is "one of them."

24. Orwell once described a speaker in his essay,
"Politics and the English Language". It's nonfiction, but I see a strong connection:

In our time it is broadly true that political writing is bad writing. Where it is not true, it will generally be found that the writer is some kind of rebel, expressing his private opinions and not a "party line." Orthodoxy, of whatever color, seems to demand a lifeless, imitative style. The political dialects to be found in pamphlets, leading articles, manifestoes, White papers and the speeches of undersecretaries do, of course, vary from party to party, but they are all alike in that one almost never finds in them a fresh, vivid, homemade turn of speech. When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases -- bestial atrocities, iron heel, bloodstained tyranny, free peoples of the world, stand shoulder to shoulder -- one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling which suddenly becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the speaker's spectacles and turns them into blank discs which seem to have no eyes behind them. And this is not altogether fanciful. A speaker who uses that kind of phraseology has gone some distance toward turning himself into a machine. The appropriate noises are coming out of his larynx, but his brain is not involved as it would be if he were choosing his words for himself. If the speech he is making is one that he is accustomed to make over and over again, he may be almost unconscious of what he is saying, as one is when one utters the responses in church. And this reduced state of consciousness, if not indispensable, is at any rate favorable to political conformity.

Dagny Taggart from Atlas Shrugged. Ann Coulter should play her in the movie!
