While scanning TV channels the other night, I came across C-Span 3, whereon Ann Coulter in a tight white sweater and short black skirt was addressing the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, back in 2006. I settled in to watch, maybe have a good laugh, when a spooky chill hit. You know, one of those sudden frights that sends chills up the sides of your face into your scalp; one of those goose bump producing, nape-of-the-neck tingling, pulse accelerating frights like you get when you think someone may be looking in your window—maybe one of those big eyed, little gray aliens who abducts people.
There in one room were hundreds of Ann Coulter wannabes. Long haired, often blonde, college aged young women wearing tight sweaters and short skirts hanging on her every word, applauding and giggling as their idol skewered the hated Liberals.
When question time came, they asked such things as, “Had you rather speak to a group of Liberals or Conservatives?” and “Do you have any good ideas for a book?” Actually, I kinda thought that second one might have been a sneak question and wondered if maybe Al Franken’s daughter had slipped by security. But, taking a closer look at the questioner, her face all glowing with pride, I knew it was legit.
When asked what field a young woman should go into to have the greatest impact for the cause, Coulter said to avoid Law, unless you wanted to be a lawyer, and that Journalism or Teaching had the greatest prospects for influence.
In response to a question about evolution, Coulter got great approval all around when she said that she had disproved Darwin’s theory so soundly in one of her books that the Liberals hadn’t even challenged her on it. Of course, she said, most of the so-called scientists who believe in evolution aren’t even real scientists, they’re merely biologists—not physicists or even chemists. Scout’s honor, she said that and it went unchallenged.
By now there must be thousands of them.
