Ann Coulter Slams Ivins, Keller, Hillary, Couric in Latest Column

By: E&P Staff Ann Coulter offered more mean-spirited commentary in her latest Universal Press Syndicate column posted Wednesday night.

In a Q&A with herself, Coulter asked: "How would your career be different if you looked like [liberal Creators Syndicate columnist] Molly Ivins?" Coulter answered: "I'd be a lot uglier."

The conservative Universal columnist also called New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller "(a) a complete moron or (b) a traitor," and said the "mainstream press is in economic trouble" because of "hysterical leftism that drove readers away."

Two other Coulter Q&As in her new column:

-- "Why is abortion sacrosanct to the left? Why have Democrats chosen this as their hill to die on? Why is evolution so important to liberals?" Her answer: "Because they basically want to depopulate the world of human beings, hence their love of abortion and their commitment to a belief system that does not distinguish men from lower beasts."

-- "Does Hillary Clinton have a good chance in 2008? What are her strengths and weaknesses?" Coulter's answer: "Good chance of what? Coming out of the closet? I'd say that's about even money. Her strength is her first name; her weakness is her last."

Coulter also said of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan: "Isn't he on the ground fighting with Hezbollah?" Of Joseph Wilson: "You mean Valerie Plame's clueless hubby? Whatever happened to that moron?" And of Katie Couric: "The affable Eva Braun of evening TV."
