Ann Coulter, the conservative pundit, spoke at CPAC today and brought down the house by saying, "I think all real females are right-wingers. And I can tell you that based on experience—and my bodyguard will back me up on this—all pretty girls are right-wingers. A pretty girl is walking toward your table, you know she's a fan." And she had her theory about liberal ladies.
According to Gawker, the provocative talking head explained that the "feminist movement has set us back... The reason liberal women are liberal is because they have to date liberal men. As we've seen—from Bill Clinton and Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Anthony Weiner—we see how liberal men treat women. If I were stuck with them, I'd be angry too. And I'll take 69 cents on the dollar, or whatever the current feminist myth is about how much we make, just to never have to pay for dinner. That seems like a fair deal to me." Clearly, Coulter loves Jessica Sporty and forgets Grade A Republicans like Mark Sanford, David Vitter, John Ensign, Chris Lee and Newt Gingrich.
Here are some other things Coulter said:
On President Obama: "He’d probably make a lovely next-door neighbor. As long as you’re not Chinese. Then he’d be constantly borrowing stuff.”
On famous liberals: "Michael Moore is only one person and controls 33 percent of the world's cholesterol."
On voting for Mitt Romney: "We've had enough of hip. Hip has nearly wrecked the country. Let's try square for a while." Um, didn't hip come after stupid?
