Yes, the most ridiculous parts just happen to be tongue-in-cheek, that's the possibility here. What exactly strikes you as overly convenient about that? Offensive jokes are still offensive. There's still a line that racist jokes can cross in delivery and content where one can reasonably suspect intent more hateful than comedic. And there's also the Carlos Mencia line, where merely invoking stereotypes won't automatically make you hilarious.
It wouldn't surprise me to find that Coulter crosses both lines on a regular basis. That doesn't mean that she isn't intently using comedy in a lot of her rhetoric. And conversely,
that doesn't mean that she's magically immune from criticism as a result. Michael Richards sure as hell wasn't.
