When Michael Jackson thinks you're a weirdo....

Oh, the humor of it all! It seems that Ann Coulter has managed to go so far around the bend here, on the subject of President Bush's Supreme Court nominee, that even John at Powerline and his mates are slowly backing away from her, saying "Frankly, it's hard to believe she's serious" and "I can't remember a time when she has been this totally misguided" (thus demonstrating that apparently John of Powerline is either completely unfamiliar with Ann Coulter or has no memory beyond eight minutes ago, but that's a fish to be fried another time).

Still, I think a right-wing feeding frenzy over this Roberts guy's right-wing street-cred will be a funny thing to behold. There's a very sizeable part of this country's right -- the sizeable part of it, perhaps -- that won't be happy unless they can put someone to the right of Kaiser Wilhelm on the Supreme Court.

According to Coulter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a "reliable left-wing lunatic". God bless Ms. Coulter! I like it when I can pop up the popcorn and enjoy the show before the Democrats have even stepped up to the mike.

(Link via Craig, who started off a post the other day with this: "George W. Bush never disappoints." Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations, eh? Heh indeed!)

UPDATE: Now, via Roxanne, I see that Coulter isn't even an original lunatic hack. Details here.
