HAWKINS AND A HAWK
Samples from John Hawkins’ v. funny interview with Ann Coulter:
Posted by Tim Blair at June 26, 2003 03:34 PM"Communism is like vegetarianism in that it's actually not very healthy for most people but leftists continue to defend it because it seems like the thing to do."
"Ozzy Osbourne has his bats, and I have that darn 'convert them to Christianity' quote."
"Please buy your children a copy of my book before they are old enough to vote."
I'd enjoy Ann Coulter's articles if she wasn't so far to the left.
Posted by: Rick Squane at June 26, 2003 at 04:29 PMI'd enjoy Ann Coulter's articles if she chose interesting topics, developed original, interesting and informed ideas about them and then described what she thought in an attractive writing style.
Posted by: Mork at June 26, 2003 at 04:57 PMI'd enjoy Ann Coulter's books if they were for sale in actual bookstores. Plenty Of Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Michael Moore and Naomi Klein amongst the tuscan travelogues, cats in greece, risotto 101 etc, etc. I might try the Brunswick Library.
Posted by: ilibcc at June 26, 2003 at 06:19 PMCoulter's a bimbo - the Michael Moore of the right. Everything I've read of hers has been deceitful, empty-headed fartgas.
Posted by: Tex at June 26, 2003 at 10:39 PMEverything Ann Coulter writes may be fartgas, but at least she looks good doing it.
That's more than I can say about Moore...
Posted by: Dave T. at June 26, 2003 at 11:06 PMI would have guessed that Coulter and Moore are just about as far from the ideal weight for their height as the other.
They're really the bizarro version of each other: fatty and skinny, hysterical left and shrieking right, one grotesquely dishevelled and one tarted up like an embalmed corpse.
Except, to complete the picture, ONE of them oughta have some talent . . .

ELAINE
Yeah! An' he is a friend, Jerry. He is reliable. He is considerate. He's, like, your exact opposite.
JERRY
So he's Bizarro Jerry!
ELAINE
[pause] Bizarro Jerry?
JERRY
Yeah. Like Bizarro Superman. Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards bizarro world. Up is Down. Down is Up. He says "Hello" when he leaves, "Good bye" when he arrives.
ELAINE
[pause] Shouldn't he say "Bad bye"? Isn't that the, opposite of "Good bye"?
JERRY
No. It's still a good-bye.
ELAINE
Uh. Does he live underwater?
JERRY
No.
ELAINE
Is he black..
JERRY
Look. Just, forget it, {already}. All right?
ah, matter/anti-matter
best not to get them in the same room, then
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at June 27, 2003 at 01:04 AM...and in moore's case we're talking a lot of matter
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at June 27, 2003 at 01:17 AMI must say I am shocked and appalled by the way everyone here seems to think that insulting people based on their appearance is acceptable behaviour. Moore's too fat, Coulter's too skinny, Moore wears more makeup than a $5 hooker, etc., etc.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves!
Posted by: Sean E at June 27, 2003 at 01:37 AMYou see, that is exactly the kind of infantile comment that reduces a serious debate to a grade three level.
Besides, I'm rubber and you're glue.
Posted by: Sean E at June 27, 2003 at 06:24 AMCoulter isn't really Moore's exact opposite: Moore is far-left, and irrational. Coulter isn't an irrational far-rightist, however.
She's so far to the extreme right that even Timothy McVeigh (extreme libertarian) or Reverend Phelps (religious nutcase) are a little iffy on where she stands. That, and she's a liar.
