further proof that Ann Coulter should not exist

In a recent article, Ann Coulter made this statement in reference to Governor Bobby Jindal:

“Wasn’t Bobby great in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’?”

Um, excuse me? I’m actually speechless …

While Coulter, a self-proclaimed champion of Conservatives, is notorious for her extreme remarks, this one has reached another low. Not only is she assuming that all Indians look the same, she actually thinks it would be funny to make a joke about it. I’m sorry, but not all of us are heartless, anorexic, ignorant, and attention-seeking like you are.

Some other Coulter-isms, just because

“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.” -From her book, If Democrats Had Any Brains They’d be Republicans

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. ” -On Muslims, in her column

oh ann … please just go away
