The dvorak-bot™ sounds off on Ann Coulter and her recent implosion with a USA Today assignment to write a column on the 2004 Democratic convention. A USA Today editor chief, who must be totally unfamiliar with Ms. Coulter's scrawlings, somehow figured that Ms. Coulter would pen a piece worthy for publication. But as has been detailed, the column was spiked because of the infantile and flammatory rhetoric. Or at least that's what the press reports that I read said. I was unaware of the additional information that Ms. Coulter refused to allow her column to be edited, which was the real reason for rejection.

So Salon publishes a piece on this fiasco calling Coulter an “unhinged buffoon.” This got my attention. It was a funny phrase. But most interesting to me was the link to Coulters rant in Human Events Online (where she apparently is not edited) and feels comfortable enough to make a fool of herself. Here Coulter gives us the entire USA Today column along with the editors remarks. You immediately see that the column is crazy, daft. Maybe she thought it was cute, I don’t know. It appears to be pure Republikan hubris.

But what’s even weirder about the Human Events article, as pointed out in Salon, is that Coulter authored the piece and dissuses herself in the third person, She quotes herself and responds to her own quotes. It does not appear to be done as a gag either. Can you spell psycho? Here are a couple of paragraphs. Now remember that at the top this says ”by Ann Coulter.”

The dvorak-bot™ also details how the new Republikans have deterred it away from Republican politics.
