Thinking like Ann Coulter?

This is how I found myself suddenly thinking like Ann Coulter. Well, not along the same line of thinking… more like using a similar thought process.  While Hilary Clinton’s campaign fired its last rounds I grew increasingly disturbed, thinking how easily the Democratic masses seem to swallow the (mainstream or other) media  pill and swindle along. Sort of what happened when an enthusiastic speech by Howard Dean turned into a “scream” in the collective imaginary, providing the opportunity for another electoral “what if.”

I thougth I’d make a dramatic statement, and announced to my closest circle of friends that I was considering voting for John McCain in the general election.    Not that I don’t think Barak Obama is a suitable candidate–though he sure is a lot of speech. It was just a gut reaction.  Only later I realized with amusement that I was not the only one vowing to manifest my outrage by crossing the party line. 
It turns out that Ann Coulter, that beautiful container of so many absurd ideas, had already said that she would even campaign for Hillary Clinton if McCain was the Republican candidate.  Here’s some digital-stucco work on the subject from YouTube. 
Saddly, it is not only about me and Coulter. Apparently a growing number of Democrats share the sentiment.
