Ann Couter is the darling of Conservatives and is consider to be the hottest political analysts on TV. She is one of the most biased, angry and vulgar individuals I have ever heard on TV. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen reviews her latest book.
I am happy to report that Ann Coulter has lost her mind. The evidence for this is her most recent book, "Treason," a nearly unreadable slog through every silly thing anyone on the left has ever said. Coulter conflates dissent with treason, opposition with treason, being wrong with treason, being right with treason and just about anything she doesn't like with treason. If the book were a Rorschach test, she would be institutionalized.

The book is a hoot. It is also good news for liberals. It suggests that the right, at least the hard right, has finally dumbed out. This is the predictable cycle for all movements. They start with a genuine grievance and proceed from there to the totally ridiculous -- or, in some cases, to the downright macabre.

Now Coulter has gone from the mythical to the absurd. Nonconservatives are traitors. In another country and in another age, the remedy would be apparent: expulsion or something like it. As this is America, the best she can muster is scorn, ad hominem arguments (Bill Clinton's face is a "fat, oleaginous mug"; Jimmy Carter is "often maligned for his stupidity," etc.) and the shrapnel of quotes she accumulates after she has exploded their context. Sometimes she's oblivious to her own contradictions. The trouble with liberals, she says, is that they "believe they're God." This would come as news to the pious -- but stupid -- Jimmy Carter.

Coulter's book contains the usual name-calling, the usual spinning of the facts, the occasional racial insult -- McCarthy, for instance, "took enemy fire from savage Oriental beasts" in World War II -- and it revives the charge from the 1950s that the Democratic Party is the party of traitors. "The inevitable logic of the liberal position is to be for treason," Coulter says in the last sentence of her book. When it reaches the bestseller list, as it almost surely will, we will know that the conservative movement has finally cracked up.
