Is it wrong of me to laugh at this?

Okay, so everyone's heard Coulter's proclamation that if the repugs didn't nominate Christie they would lose, right? I remember this because it was the only time she has been right as far as I can recall. It was run over and over on MSNBC.

Well, I guess that honeymoon is over...now she is saying that CPAC did not invite Christie because they needed to lighten their load by three hundred pounds or something vile like that.

Of course I am not laughing at Christie's weight or Coulter's simple minded "joke." I am laughing at her. Her cruelty, her pandering, her lack of any guiding principals won't even allow her to say "I told you so." Not when there is a cheap laugh to be had from a bunch of losers.

I'm not posting a link to Coulter's cheap shot on purpose, but it's easy to find.

Rethuglicans always go for the basest form of humor. If any speaker ever was to get too
sophisticated in relating a joke or anecdote they might have to resort to drawing a picture
in order to explain it before their eyes would glaze over.

Making fun of others' appearance is their specialty. However, I don't they'd laugh as loudly if someone "joked" about theirs. Thin skinned and stupid is no way to go through life.

She only says shit like this to get attention and she doesn't really care what kind of attention. As long as it gets her name in the news, she's happy. If you want her to go away, the best way is to ignore her.

She doesn't give a rats ass about Chris Christie and she probably doesn't give a rats ass about the republican party or their chances in 2016. What she cares about is selling more dumbass books and getting her name in the news is definitely a plus when it comes to doing that.

Ronald Reagen Du jour. Yesterday it was Chris Christie, today it's Rand Paul. Who ever their leaders are selling them today.
Yes it's sad, but we shouldn't knock it. It works to our advantage. Even better when GOP co. franchises can't agree on their favorite son.

My impression of Ms Coulter is that she has a drinking problem. A "mean drunk" explains her actions at any given moment.
