Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter referred to the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show performance featuring singers Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake as “simulated interracial sex,” claimed that college professors make controversial statements to get “laid by coeds with hairy armpits who probably don't like men,” and called the presence of “girls” in the military “appalling” -- all in one night of cable news appearances.
On the February 7 edition of FOX News' Hannity & Colmes, Coulter criticized ads that aired during the 2005 Super Bowl, saying, “this is juvenile, 4-year-old humor,” and added: “And last year's Super Bowl show, ooh, simulated interracial sex.” During the 2004 performance, Timberlake ripped a piece of Jackson's clothing, briefly exposing one of her breasts in what Timberlake later called a “wardrobe malfunction.”
On the February 7 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, appearing alongside host and former Representative Joe Scarborough (R-FL) and Republican strategist Karen Hanretty to discuss University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill's comparison of some victims of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks to Nazis, Coulter commented: “These guys [college professors] want to go around acting like big radicals, getting laid by coeds with hairy armpits who probably don't like men, by going to conferences and saying, 'Oh, yes, I'm the one who said that.'”
Later in the same segment, Coulter responded to a question from Scarborough about the military's recent demotion of a female U.S. soldier in Iraq for indecent exposure during a mud wrestling party: “I would like a United States military capable of winning wars, which will not involve sending girls to do fighting.” Coulter concluded: “And, yes, I think it's appalling that these women are mud wrestling, but I think it's appalling that they are in the military.”
