In syndicated column on tea parties, Coulter says "It would be hilarious if Hillary Clinton's name were 'Ima Douche.' Unfortunately, it's not"

From Ann Coulter's column headlined "Obama's Recipe For Change Not My Cup of Tea:
[N]o one is calling the tea parties "tea bagging" -- except Olbermann and Maddow. Republicans call them "tea parties."
But if the Republicans were calling them "tea-bagging parties," the MSNBC hosts would have a fantastically hilarious segment for viewers in San Francisco and the West Village and not anyplace else in the rest of the country. On the other hand, they're not called "tea-bagging parties." (That, of course refers to the cocktail hour at Barney Frank's condo in Georgetown.)
You know what else would be hilarious? It would be hilarious if Hillary Clinton's name were "Ima Douche." Unfortunately, it's not. It was just a dream. Most people would wake up, realize it was just a dream and scrap the joke. Not MSNBC hosts.
Coulter's column was published in print or online by Human Events, The Marietta Daily Journal, The Saint Augustine Record, WorldNetDaily, and Townhall.com.
Coulter actually has a point for once. Of course she presents it in an ugly, offensive way taking gratuitous swipes at Hillary Clinton and Barney Frank in the process but that's hardly new. And she fails to note that she and her ilk do this sort of thing all the time.
It's like how there might be a republican out there with some good ideas. We'll never find out because we'll never elect another one.

I agree-- no one called it teabagging but Olbermann and Maddow. And since that's the case, what was so valid about it-- why the preoccupation with the term that these conservatives were supposed to be so stupid about but never used?
and BTW-- schtick is supposed to be funny.
The anti-Semite who wants to "perfect" all the Jews.
That's all I have to say about Coulter.
I think also she's just p'oed that progressives got a hold of the tea-bagging thing,
What teabagging thing? That was solely in Madd/Olbermann's brain.
Actually, they did call them "Tea Bag" parties

BY the way, did anyone here that Cheney NOW wants all the torture memos declassified?
That's FOX, not the people involved. So why were the hoi-polloi conservatives so stupid about not being aware of a term that they never used and an activity that they never engaged in?
It was all a phony issue-- sad because there are so many valid ones to pursue. It's also juvenile.

That guy is a conservative yahoo who calls them "Teabag Parties". Not to mention the many, MANY pictures of protesters with actual teabags hanging from their hats/ears.
Agreed. Sadly, Coulter has a point here: Maddow and Olbermann have been making a ridiculous display over this for days on end. Does "our team" really have to be as awful as Coulter's team?
A very weak kudos to Media Matters for at least not stripping out the context for the Coulter's stupid 'Hillary' remark.
