Coulter suggests Pelosi is "mentally retarded"

February 27, 2009 3:28 pm ET by MMFA Staff

From Coulter's February 25 column:

As Obama prepared to deliver his address to Congress on Tuesday, the Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner, Fox News' Bret Baier and Charles Krauthammer all gushed that history was being made as the first African-American president appeared before Congress. Even Gov. Bobby Jindal, whom I suppose I should note was the first Indian-American to give the Republican response to a president's speech, began with an encomium to the first black president. (Wasn't Bobby great in "Slumdog Millionaire"?) Are we going to have to hear about this for the next four years? Obama is becoming the Cal Ripken Jr. of presidents, making history every time he suits up for a game. Recently, Obama also became the first African-American president to order a ham sandwich late at night from the White House kitchen! That's going to get old pretty quick. But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?

      You know what else is getting old pretty quick?  or maybe I should say "who"?

      You stay classy, Ann "Benchwarmer" Coulter.

      What a country indeed!  A village idiot with a keyboard hatefully requests that her government "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" and the idiot's country complies only to destroy a sovereign nation, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of its inhabits. PS: Nice nails, Ann. Is that polish, or dried blood?

      Well, since she used "retard" I'll use another playground insult: "it takes one to know one."

      Her debating skills are spectacularly bad. The only folks who would find "debate" like this valid hate this country, because calling the Speaker of the House such a name is treasonous. You lose again, Annie.

      Coming from a piece of c--p like her, PELOSI should take it as a complement because ANNTHRAX COULTER isnt worthy enough to lick NANCY PELOSI'S shoes.
