I saw an interview of Al Franken when he was publicizing his book "Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell" (or something like that). Forget who interviewed him, but they played the name game and Franken was very diplomatic on every name UNTIL COulter's came up...... this is his quote because I'll never forget it.
"I have many Conservative friends and when I researched the book I asked about different people, like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, to see what my friends would say. they said that they were decent men with good points. Then I would ask about Ann Coulter... and every single one of them would say she's certifiably nuts, we wish she'd shut up because she scares us and gives us a bad name."
(I think the quote may be in his book also.)
The sad and scary fact is newspapers carry her column, and Limbaugh LOVES to quote her and talk about how great she is. Drudge loves to give her credit on things. Not that they can ever be considered unbiased but they give credence to this nut case and egg her on.
She's made claims such as "McCarthy was right and should have gone further."
I truly believe she believes what she says, unlike most who are just in it for shock value. I just can't wait for the day when she says something so outrageous that even the Conservatives that support her back away.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
