Ann Coulter All But Breaks Down on MSNBC

Ann Coulter flipped out on MSNBC this morning, telling Joe Scarborough on the phone that she is being "browbeaten by a bunch of harridans about why I chose this word or why I told this joke. And then people turn around and say, 'Oh, you're so mean, you're so mean.'" Her voice was actually shaking, and she sounded like she was about to start crying. This woman's viciousness is matched by her utter inability to take even one percent of the cruelty she dishes out to others. She is so over the edge, she talks over Scarborough through the entire call:

Here is the video:


John Aravosis has the definitive response:
"I've never seen people avoid ideas as much in such an obvious way," says the woman who wears the same slinky black dress to every interview and every speech, presumably to show off her legs and her cleavage (though it's possible she's simply doing an extended walk of shame from a decade-long one-night stand), and who every interview makes some outrageous comment, like wishing that John Edwards were assassinated or mocking the death of his teenage son in a car crash, in order to get attention. Yes, Ann Coulter never tries to avoid ideas.

She is a walking caricature of herself. But what's most telling is how thin-skinned she is (which is a lesson that everyone should take to heart - responding to Coulter doesn't help her cause, it drives her crazy AND she is a walking embarrassment to the GOP and the conservative cause). Listen to the tape. She's on the verge of losing it, even though she's hardly being challenged at all. She walks around calling people "fags," mocking their dead children, wishing that they were murdered, then when people respond by saying "uh, you're kind of mean," Ann flips out over the level of venom that's directed against her.
By the way, Greg Sargent points out that "the Coulter column she plugged here as 'one of the greatest columns ever written' is the one where she suggested that John Edwards was politically exploiting his own son's death and using it like a 'bumper sticker.' "
