Showing Original Post only (View all)Ann Coulter, CPAC It Girl: "All Pretty Girls are Right-Wingers" [View all]
http://gawker.com/5884090/ann-coulter-cpac-it-girl-all-pretty-girls-are-right+wingers?utm_source=Gawker+Newsletter&utm_campaign=4d273a8fbe-UA-142218-2&utm_medium=emailWASHINGTON, D.C. There must be some kind of perfect rallying cry for a giant ballroom full of conservative Americans, but it'll take a careful formula and a lot of practice to find it.
It requires, I think, some balance of celebrating American Exceptionalism (a phrase I've heard so many times in a day and a half here, it's already lost any meaning it could have had to begin with) and some balance of invoking Ronald Reagan, who on this turf is known as The Greatest Human To Have Ever Breathed On Earth.
But there is also a very straightforward route, and it's one that Ann Coulter, who took the stage in a black mini skirt and calf-high boots at CPAC this afternoon, is very, very good at: Troll on the liberals, and go for the cheap laughs.
At the seemingly interminable conservative dating panel yesterday, a young man asked the speaker, a professional dating coach named Wayne Elise, why right-wingers had such a difficult time with humor: "How can we find a legitimately funny conservative person?" he wondered.

Their brains are wired to embrace a fearful outlook, and that explains quite a lot.

I used to think Greg Gutfeld was funny. Also Dennis Miller. But hate aint funny.
