I'm inclined to treat the latest developments in Lunatic Fringe Queen Bee vs. Lunatic Fringe Queen Bee Wannabe with the amusement their antics usually evoke, but it's really too disturbing.
You know, I was really concerned that Morgan might actually have out-Coultered La Coulter with that first round of nonsense about sending Keller to the gas chamber, but OF COURSE AC wasn't going to sit still and let this Coulter-come-lately. Nope, she jumped right in the ring, and now the two are duking it out to see who can be the most 'outrageous' under the guise of a 'friendly' exchange of death penalty preferences.
Clearly my girl Ann---the Dems' secret weapon---is becoming desperate as more and more women rush in to compete for her place as Queen of the Lunatic Fringe. This Melanie Morgan---how dare she?!--- is clearly trying to wrestle for Ann's scepter.
Not in this lifetime, Mel! Left-wing Coulterphiles everywhere agree that even the most extreme crazy-ass fascist-type statement that an aspiring capital W wingnut can utter falls flat and sounds stupid if not backed up by Coulter's enormous, seemingly limitless rage at all things liberal. Not to say that Coulter's rants don't sound stupid, but they sound stupid in the scary way that hatred backed by real rage. Morgan is an amateur at the shock-the-donkey game compared to AC and I refuse to take her seriously as competition for La Coulter. I really get the feeling that she is TRYING to be offensive; but to beat out AC, you have to BE offensive and we Dems, damn it, can tell the difference.
