So it's vampires everywhere nowadays, and but none of it is Anne Rice, which is a weird way for the pop culture of the undead to be, right? I bring this up because of Ann Coulter. Where is she? It's screaming clown-show time in the culture wars: race-baiting! Liberal journalistic conspiracy! Treasonous publication of Our Military-Security Secrets! And Ann Coulter is barely in on it.


Google News does say she went on TV some to yell about the Shirley Sherrod thing, but it was like Branson, Missouri for pundits: "Rick's List"? "The Joy Behar Show"? This is not famous-person television, or even famous-screaming-head-on-the-television television.

Again, that's better than most authors, but not good at all for Ann Coulter, or for what Ann Coulter used to be.

And subjectively: do people even care that the book didn't sell? It's like Wes Anderson. Even though he got that long profile in the New Yorker or the New York Times Magazine, whichever it was, about Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Fantastic Mr. Fox bombed, there wasn't much schadenfreude. More just relief, because America was free to stop thinking about whether it needed to give a darn about Wes Anderson anymore. (Not even in that order, probably. The Fantastic Mr. Fox results only confirmed that everyone else had already jumped off board with Darjeeling Limited. Really, in retrospect, were you even with The Royal Tenenbaums, by the last reel?)

Is America done with Ann Coulter? Is she done with America? Maybe the whole brittle drag-queen cocktail-dress thing stopped going over with the audience, in this era of Mama Grizzly Palin and her flag-pinned performance fleece. Maybe she got an outside hobby? Anne Rice sure found something else besides the vampires to keep herself busy!

1. So sad

I think now is a time for us to move on from Ann Coulter, we have bigger fish to fry in this world. Forgive and Forget, Moveon. God Bless DU.

2. AC is actually the puppeteer that runs Sarah Palin nt

3. She is nothing more that a despicible forgettable liar.

She supported the deaths and torture by the criminals that ruled the White House for 8 years.
Go away! Pleeeze!

4. Probably has another book in the works

She always goes to her coffin room when writing a new book.

5. I guess the undead do eventually die of irrelevance on their own! n/t

6. It's hard for me to watch her

I'm mesmerized by her adams apple bobbing up and down as she talks.

7. She really repulses me, so even seeing her the few times that we have again lately

has been too much for me.

I was especially horrified to see her on Joy Behar's show. Her sort of hate for hate's sake (and cash and fame)deserve to be shoved off the air into obscurity.
