Re: Coulter with a big honor ....
Ann Coulter irrelevant as ever,briefly resurfaces and "bombs";but to some delusional souls she'll always be Dear Ann,an object of their personal political fantasy.

Ann Coulter Bombs at NYU
NYU student and blogger
Ned Resnikoff's account[see below for excerpt and link]of Anne Coulter's appearance at the university last night[12/10/2008] is so sharp you'd think the kid has a bright future in journalism ahead of him,if it wasn't for journalism's implosion:
"Once you realize that the dog whistles are really all she has to offer, you finally understand what Ann Coulter?s all about.
She?s about as much a serious political commentator as Carlos Mencia is; both go for cheap laughs by playing off of the worst in human nature... Unfortunately, my real question of the night never got asked:
What the fuck were the NYU Republicans thinking?
Ann Coulter hasn?t been politically relevant since she called Edwards a ***...
Alas, the fact that College Republicans invited someone as alienating and nakedly anti-intellectual as Ann Coulter is just a metaphor for what you see happening to the Republican Party on the national level:
the moderate voices of reason are getting ignored or marginalized, while the true believers burrow further into the warm, velvety soft cocoon of their own assholes."

Ann Coulter Visits NYU to Deliver Predictable Stand-Up Routine
One of the first things I noticed about the
eagerly anticipated Ann Coulter speaking engagement at NYU was that people were dressed up for it. It was almost like this was some kind of surreal College Republican prom night as much as it was a speaking event, but I guess I could understand why they might be excited.
They had scored Ann Coulter, the modern conservative icon who had, by her own admission,
only ever spoken once in New York City before?and that was during the Clinton years.
And they got what they paid for, I suppose. The thing was more or less your run-of-the-mill Ann Coulter joint, just like when I had seen her at UCONN, back in 2004 or 2005?except this time, to NYU?s credit, the liberals didn?t heckle, and there were no
ad hominem attacks during questioning. Based on listening to who applauded to what, I?d guess that the liberals in the room outnumbered conservatives 3-1; but besides a few fumbly, overly earnest attempts at gotcha questions, everyone was on their best behavior.
