Coulter just wanted to sell books. Saying outlandish things, whether or not you actually believe them, helps.
What I don’t understand is why these Palin/O’Donnell types can’t just stick with their local government. Palin was, what, governor of Alaska? Apparently Alaska functioned fine with her at the helm. At least I didn’t hear anything about her driving it in to the ground. So she was at least serviceable in that job function. Why do they need to aspire to bigger, and more unmanageable, things where they are more likely to suck?
