I truly expect that someday, Ann Coulter will have a reverse swastika on her face.
Can you imagine an old and bitter Ann Coulter alone with no family and an apartment filled with empty Chardonnay bottles. She'll be a long forgotten has-been who will do anything to get just 5 more minutes of national exposure.

It's happened before...

In 1989, as fascination with Downey's show had begun to wane, he claimed he was attacked in a San Francisco International Airport restroom by neo-Nazis who supposedly painted a swastika on his face and attempted to shave his head. Inconsistencies in Downey's account (e.g. the swastika on his forehead was painted in reverse, suggesting that Downey had drawn it himself in a mirror) and the failure of the police to find evidence supporting his story led many to suspect the incident was a hoax and plea for attention. In a 1992 radio interview with Howard Stern, after the statute of limitations had run out on the crime of making a false report to police, Downey admitted the incident was staged.

I expect that Ms. Coulter will end up like Mr. Downey. It may not be a reverse swastika--- but I'm certain it will be something that will finish her off once and for all.

2. actually I think she is doing it just for the money
and will ride the gravy train until she can't extract any more cash.

She is by all accounts a fairly intelligent attorney (can't get into Michigan Law if you are stupid).

However, in the dog eat dog world of the law, you are one of thousands of aspiring attorneys and she found her niche. Hate rhetoric. She figured out that old geezers like Scaife were willing to fund her rants because they wanted someone else (not them) to be the ones frothing at the mouth in the public eye....and she decided the pay was sufficient to take on that part.

I think she will end up like ole Phyllis Schafly, an old grand dame with giant pearls around her gaunt neck and some creepy young dude who keeps her in gin and tonics and makes her feel younger than she is...

3. I don't think so...
You simply can't live a life of hate--- and yes, I think she hates and it's not all entertainment. She will be a bitter old hag who will do what it takes to remain relevant. I think it's already happening.

5. any which way it turns out, I think she took the wrong path
and while I think you are right about her believing her hateful rhetoric, it will be interesting to see what path she takes...if she ends up like David Brock...I wonder what people will think...

4. I thought you meant like Charles Manson
It would not surprise me at all if Coulter ended up as a cult leader who orders here fanatical followers to commit murder. Coulter skelter, anyone?

8. The Only Thing More Despicable Than Ann's Despicable Mouth
Are the hard-core hate messages about her, posted on this site.

Of course, her rhetoric is to be disdained. Of course, we should mobilize the troops to mute her crazy brand of hate speech.

But the personal invective I've been reading here only proves we're no better.

God love John Edwards for rebuking Ann Coulter without debasing himself or playing her game.

Like Arianna Huffington.

10. Nah, she'll revive her career by coming out as a liberal who was running a
scam on the VRWC.
