Here’s a transcript of that Scoobie Davis blindside of Ann Coulter.
Which raises the question: anybody else remember when media pranks used to be, y’know, funny? Or at least revelatory?
I mean, zoinks, Scoob…
[update: predictably, Dawson has some words for Scoobs. And a few more. Henry Hanks joins in, too.]
Dawson’s posts on this are about as childish as anything I’ve ever read in the blogosphere. I couldn’t find anything even remotely resembling an argument amongst the “Colon Curic[sic]” and “Scabbies,” though this kind of language certainly fits in a piece defending Coulter.
“Frothing” is how I’d describe those responses. I thought they were kinda funny.
As for Ms. Coulter, she’s clearly a provocateur—the right’s answer to Al Franken. Ann’s just a bit more striking in a suit.
Scoob’s “interview” was remarkably unrevealing, I thought. His big “tada” moment just didn’t come off well. Just my opinion, of course…
The right’s answer to Al Franken? That hurt (yeah, I’m a huge fan). Give the author of “Why Not Me?” credit for having a little more finesse than Coulter.
How about the right’s answer to Mike Moore? That seems a bit closer to the bullseye to me.
But you’re right about Scoobie’s interview. It was tedious, and apart from her “My publicist set me up with a stalker?” remark, didn’t accomplish much.
You’re accusing the author of “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot” of *finesse*? Zoinks indeed.
I like Franken, too. I like anybody who makes their political opinions in a way that’s interesting.
I guess I just don’t find Coulter as strident as many people do. Maybe Bill Maher is a better example…?
Frankly, a comparison to Al Franken is a bit of an insult to Ann Coulter. Al can only sell his material by swiping some of Limbaugh’s fame.
