There was something different about Ann Coulter's appearance last night on Hannity & Colmes. Was her hair a new shade of blonde? Had she had a facelift? Botox? I couldn't be sure. One thing that hasn't changed is her sensationalized invective disguised as analysis and thought. Alan Colmes started off the interview by asking an excellent question: "If Karl Rove wasn't revealing something secret, why did he have to speak on double super secret background?" For a moment, it looked like Coulter might have been genuinely reluctant to talk to a liberal (as the title of her last book claims she is) but I think it was more likely that she had a moment of panic at not having a good answer. After a pause, she began to speak slowly, as if she were trying to think of the right words as she went along.
"Because you don't generally read in the press - you know - I think it was all - you didn't see Karl Rove, I think, being quoted on a lot of these things - but I think the point was, um, Clown Wilson was going around implying that he had been sent by the CIA and reported to Dick Cheney's office... I mean, it's amazing if you go back and read these articles now, he uses these - you know - sort of Clintonian legally accurate phrases..." Then, in the same breath, she added, "This whole story has been a fog of lies being sent out by this clown, Wilson." So, was it a fog of lies or Clintonian legally accurate phrases? It's hard to know.
Coulter, who I still maintain has a thing for Colmes, brushed part of her tresses over the side of her head as he spoke and smiled flirtatiously. Colmes continued, "And you talk about something Clintonian (Coulter giggled), when Karl Rove said 'I didn't know her name, I didn't leak her name.' If Bill Clinton said that, you'd say 'ah, there he goes I didn't inhale.' Not revealing the name has nothing to do with whether he revealed her identity."
Coulter: No, of course that's right but you're setting up a straw man. No one is saying, 'Oh, he just said Clown Wilson's wife, but didn't give her name.' That isn't the argument. The argument is he wasn't knowingly revealing a covert agent's undercover status as an undercover agent."
