Ann Coulter Endorses Hillary Clinton Over John McCain

Monday February 4, 2008

If you didn't already catch this, it's a doozy.

On Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, the unthinkable happened. Media nasty girl and conservative pundit Ann Coulter -- she of the snarky statements and madly deeply crazy inflammatory statements -- got serious and said if the election came down to McCain and Clinton, she'd campaign for Clinton, stating "I think she's stronger on the war on terrorism."

Coulter expressed her opinion that Clinton is much more conservative than McCain and, in a series of passionate arguments, observed, "She's smarter than John McCain."

Both Hannity and Colmes tried to get laughs out of Coulter's seemingly sincere statements in support of Clinton, but their jokes fell flat as Coulter continued her pro-Clinton tirade.

When George Stephanopoulos questioned Clinton about the 'endorsement,' she responded with a laugh and a cough.

I hope Coulter is pulling a hoax on us. She writes a book that insuates Democrats have no brains and then endorses one?

Coulter is ten kinds of crazy. Statements like this simply confirm her irrelevance. She can’t influence anyone who doesn’t already agree with her.

The fact that Ann does not like John is really an endorsement. Is this woman really still around, how does that happen. It’s a mad mad world when Ann Coulter get more than 5 minutes of fame. Pass the bottle brother I need a stiff one.

Republican/Democrat is only a name. She is saying that Clinton is closer to a Republican than McCain. Clinton is a centrist. Yea she sells her health care issue but other than that isn’t far from Bush.
