George Soros vs. The Best. Book. Evah!

The Boss:

"At HuffPo, a Soros-tied co-author has launched a bid to dislodge conservative authors — and he's asking for help from every last nutroots activist out there. . . .
"Co-author Michael Huttner urges his fellow Obama cultists to buy the book [50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America] . . .
"[W]e also hope it contributes to changing the dialogue in this country, at a time when it's beginning to look a little too much like the Bush era with books by right-wingers Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck and [some douchebag who isn't actually conservative] topping this week's national bestsellers list."

You must fight back! You must buy the No. 1 New York Times bestseller: Culture of Corruption: Obama And His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies -- actually, you should buy two copies and give one to a liberal friend, just to annoy him.

It's the Best. Book. Evah!

Unlike Ross Douthat, Ann Coulter isnot a stuck-up Harvard douchebag

Last night, Myers The Blog Intern found an interesting clip of an Ann Coulter appearance on the Glenn Beck show in March, when she described George Soros as a "Nazi collaborator."

Some liberal commenter (who may or may not be just another Media Matters hack) complained about Miss Coulter's characterization of Soros. And indeed, it is a serious accusation, since being a "Nazi collaborator" would make Soros worse than Neville Chamberlain and as bad as postmodern philosopher Martin Heidegger, although certainly no worse than France.

The liberal commenter seemed to feel that I was obliged to pass judgment on the accuracy of Miss Coulter's assessment, prompting my reply:

I think that if you have a problem with Miss Coulter's description of the wartime adventures of George Soros, you should take that up with Miss Coulter.

Far be it from me to assume that she is unable to defend her own prose. However, if my assistance were required, I would certainly provide it. I would similarly assist Rush Limbaugh, Mark Steyn, Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin or any other conservative who (a) doesn't apologize for being conservative, (b) is willing to "put skin in the game" in the fight against liberalism, and (c) isn't all stuck-up like they're better than everybody else.

This explains why I've got no use for douchebag snobs like Ross Douthat and other members of that elite crowd, The Republicans Who Really Matter. A very simple test: If you think you're better than those Pennsylvanians who stood in line on a cold windy evening for a chance to see Sarah Palin, you're a douchebag.

Ann Coulter is not like that. Say what you will about her, she doesn't mind talking to Ordinary Americans:

Seated on the patio of a D.C. restaurant (note the margarita in the foreground) Ann Coulter has a conversation with an enthusiastic Obama supporter. At left is Jeff Carneal, president of Eagle Publishing, who is probably not quite so enthusiastic about Obama.

Ann Coulter poses with Alyssa Cordova of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute.

Ann Coulter poses with Evan Gassman and Evan's girlfriend. Evan gave me a business card, so I remembered his name. His girlfriend didn't have a business card, but she was sweet.

Ann Coulter poses with investigative journalist Matthew Vadum (right) and some blogger dude who can't even remember the name of Evan Gassman's sweet girlfriend.

So you see the difference between Ann Coulter and a certain Harvard douchebag who expects everybody to be impressed by his SAT score and skinny-dipping with Bill Buckley.

Also, Ann Coulter links my blog, unlike a douchbag.

'They have a Nazi collaborator -- literally'

So said Chairman Ann, in reference to left-wing Sugar Daddy George Soros, during an interview with Glenn Beck, when the subject was Rush Limbaugh's CPAC speech:

"Right-wing and conservative power has always bubbled up from the bottom. . . . It's always been bottom-up. Not with the Democrats. Oh, no. They have a Nazi collaborator -- literally -- international financier George Soros funding their phony 'grassroots' organizations."
-- Ann Coulter, March 2, 2009

This video was turned up by Myers The Blog Intern, while he was researching a post about "Death Panels," Pelosi's "swastikas," Limbaugh, Robert Gibbs, et cetera. Myers also just dug up this quote from Chairman Ann's interview last month with Sean Hannity:

"You can see [President Obama is] becoming unhinged because the media has totally, totally built this guy up . . . He swats a fly, and they're all, you know, hyperventilating. Now, meanwhile, look how he acted to his critics, to you, to Rush Limbaugh. He lashes out at Rush Limbaugh and tells Democrats don't listen to this guy. . . . [I]f this guy is so upset by criticism from people who are on the opposite side of the spectrum, what's going to happen as these polls as inevitably will happen start to fall on him as Americans realize that oh, he really is a liberal, it's not just a charming speech maker."
-- Ann Coulter, July 22

A thorough fellow, this young Myers. Friday night, he survived The Electric Kool-Aid Blog Intern Acid Test -- dinner with Miss Coulter -- and Sunday, he survived an even more important trial, dinner with Mrs. Other McCain.

What's weird is that this guy wasn't the intern I asked for. I was quite specific in my memo to VRWC-HQ that they should send me a Christina Hendricks lookalike. However, considering Myers is willing to work for nothing but the occasional Klondike Bar, I probably shouldn't complain.

As long as the tip-jar hitters fork over enough cash . . . this dude can really put away the Klondike Bars.
