A. Hart Coulter

Remember that really bitchy friend your ex girlfriend had?

Remember that one aunt or cousin you avoided like the plague at family gatherings?

Remember that teacher everyone considered slashing the tires of?

A. Hart Coulter (as she will forever be referred to on this blog) is that woman.

It's not even her politics. I have some friends that are very far to the right and we regularly get together and spar over games of Scrabble (TM) and remain good friends.

She has lost her ability to be anything more than the character she created. It doesn't matter what she writes. It doesn't matter what she says. The public persona she has created has rendered her as nothing more than an agitator. She is hardly the only one and there are examples on the Left that I could easily point out (I think Michael Moore has reached a similar status). But, after catching glimpses of recent personal appearances it is clear that other than for its entertainment value there is no reason to pay any attention to her at all.

A. Hart Coulter has become nothing more than a grouchy stand up comic that simply isn't funny.

A. Hart Coulter has become the pro wrestling heel that people genuinely hate or cheer just to agitate the crowd.

How can anyone be shocked by her or take anything she says seriously any more?

Your 15 minutes are up.

  1. I'm not really a "VIEW" fan, but I did relish her appearance there... WHO is playing the victim, again, Ann? I'd like to believe her 15 minutes are up, but... why are her books consistent bestsellers? Who is buying them?
