Ann Coulter vs. Mr. T

Tyler P. sent this piece of his political guerilla art to AntiC. Once it passed the "T-Test" ("Does Tanya E. think it's funny?") we decided to publish it. (It also turns out there is a whole genre of these "Mr. T vs. xxx" layouts. We didn't know. Go to "Mr. T vs. Everything" to check them out.)

Coulter has used the "girly-boy" reference numerous times. Go here for girly-girl.

As for the Jim Jeffords references, Coulter loathes Jeffords. In a June 1 National Review Online article ("Abraham Jeffords"), she uses an 900 word column to attack his character and intelligence after he left the Republican Party. A few examples of her invective on Jeffords "The only reason Northeastern liberals like Jeffords call themselves "Republicans" is class snobbery. They disdain Democrats, whom they view as the dirty working class, and think being a Republican should entail nothing more than thrashing the servants." Nice.

She goes on to suggest Jeffords is stupid (an insult she always accuses liberals of using against Republicans). "Moreover, [upon Jeffords defection] the Senate Republicans' average IQ just skyrocketed." In case this is too subtle, she adds a few lines down: "Another interesting fact about Jeffords sorely neglected by the media - already alluded to here - is that Jeffords is a little D-U-M-M. While Bush's Yale education is treated like some sort of scam, the media can't cite Jeffords's Yale degree often enough. Except Jeffords was admitted to Yale before the terrorizing reign of the SATs, back when admission to the Ivy Leagues turned on social class rather than standardized tests."

So Jeffords is stupid because he might have gotten into Yale without a strong academic background, in the same way that I might be a wife-beater. No evidence is offered to support this cheap slander. Coulter also does not mention that Jeffords got his law degree from the very prestigious Harvard Law School. Coulter went to the University of Michigan Law School*. Most insanely, Coulter denies that Jeffords defection will do any damage to the Republican Party. "Only votes matter in the Senate, and the flinty maverick's votes will continue to be 100 percent liberal." Uh, Ann, what about those Senate committees? The ones that do all the real work in the Senate? The man single-handedly transfers all the Senate committee chairmanships from the Republicans to the Democrats, puts the Senate into the Democrats pocket, and she says "losing Jeffords is all upside for Republicans." Schoolyard translation: "I hate you for taking my best friend and I never liked her anyway!"


*Which is a very nice law school, but it's not Harvard.
