Ann Coulter Calls Joe Biden A “Drunken Irishman” On Geraldo

video
» 33 comments

Cable news was all atwitter with the back and forth between Vice President Joe Biden and former Vice President Dick Cheney yesterday, and Fox News’ Geraldo At Large was no exception. However, guest Ann Coulter‘s unique take on the sitting vice president was rather remarkable.”It almost is kind of effective to send out this drunken Irishman to respond to Dick Cheney. It’s like sending out the White House dog.” Woof.

    This is tough. Which is sillier? Ann Coulter’s comment or you posting about her comment?

    Is Dan Abrams really paying people to write stuff like this? Dan, pull the plug on this turkey, you’re losing money faster than the Greek government.

    Wow.

  • The Real Royal King

    Coulter is trash.

  • roxsteady

    Transgender? It can’t be a real woman. It doesn’t have any curves.

  • same2u

    Fear mongering, trash talk, and saying ‘no’ have become the daily modus operandi for conservatives..

  • roxsteady

    Yes Ann, when it comes to fear, Cheney and his entire scared ass family has the market conered on spineless cowards. When we want advice from a scared, broken down old man who allowed the deaths of 3000 people on his watch, we’ll call him. I suspect it’s guilt that keeps this “the sky is falling act” alive. You blew it Dick! And as a result, you should be never trusted again! Get back under the bed. We’ll take it from here!

  • SteveMG

    See? Proves my point.

    This post is nothing more than chum for the more excitable posters to respond to.

    Keith Olbermann calls Dick Cheney “totally unpatriotic” and suffering from a “Messiah Complex” and that is not posted about?

    Whether one agrees with Olbermann or not, that’s at least as much worthy of a post as the comment by the wicked witch of the radical right Ann Coulter.

    I said witch, witch.

    Fear is very much the key to understanding rightists in America, and it has been since at least the late 19th Century. Knee-knocking, head covering, urine puddling fear. And, Coulter is, as both Same2U and Roxsteady indicate, a chief fear-monger. I can’t understand why Americans, of all of the people on the Earth, would elect to live in perpetual fear.

  • The Real Royal King

    Yes, I agree that in this instance you have a point, Steve M G, a very good point.

    A few choice “Bidenisms”:

    *Feb. 25, 2009, interview on CBS’ “Early Show,” Biden encouraged viewers to visit a government-run Web site that tracks stimulus spending. When asked for the site’s web address, Biden could not remember the site’s “number.”
    “You know, I’m embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?” he asked an aide standing out of view. “I should have it in front of me and I don’t. I’m actually embarrassed.”

    *July 16, 2009, Vice President Biden gave a blunt summation of the administration’s approach to stimulus spending:
    “People, when I say that, look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?” he said at a stop in Virginia. “The answer is yes.”

    *Sept. 12, 2008, speech in Columbia, Mo., Biden called for Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham, who is wheelchair-bound, to “stand up.”
    “Oh, God love ya,” Biden said, after realizing his mistake. “What am I talking about?”

    *Aug 23, 2008– During his first campaign rally with Obama, Biden introduced Obama by saying, “A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!”

    *Jan. 31, 2007 — the day Biden announced his presidential bid, the Delaware Senator was roundly criticized for calling Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

    BTW, Chris Rock did a funny routine on whites who called Colin Powell “articulate”.

    Please, both sides play on people’s fears. Heck, when Bush tried to cut Medicare, the Democrats scared the eldely about the plan. And when Obama talked about cutting Medicare, the Republicans did the same thing.

    Same old same old.

    The left says the right is destroying the Constitution et cetera. Candidate Obama said that Bush made us less safe. That McCain was going to take away people’s Social Security.

    Accusing your political opponent of having policies that will ruin the country goes back to the very beginning of the establishment of political parties.

    Poor Ann – one has to wonder how many men and women, after too much alcohol on a night out, have chewed their arms off so as to escape her.

  • The Real Royal King

    Steve M G: We’re obviously talking about very different matters. Rightists seem to have personal, ingrained fear of the Wobblies, immigration (legal and illegal), Communists, Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics, Men in Turbans. They take pride and pleasure in being fear-filled people. It is an amazing phenomenon to me. And, they make political hay not out of creating fear of opposing policies and parties as much as in reveling in their fears and asking others to join them. Very different from what you are describing, and not at all rational. However, fear is as much a part of the right in America as driving Cadillacs.

    SteveMG: Spot on commentary. The people up in arms over this ignore Olbermann and most likely endorsed “BUsh is a dry drunk” commentary during his Presidency. It is just what/who they do/are.

    I’ll agree with much of that if you agree that the left seems to have problems with Christians, businessmen, the military , the police, Jewish supporters of Israel, southerners, middle Americans…

    One can compile lengthy lists for both sides.

  • The Real Royal King

    If you are saying that the leftists have a tendency to ostracize, indeed to seemingly attempt to criminalize certain groups and individuals, I would agree with you. I think it a far different phenomenon than the right’s embrace of fear, but equally dangerous and disagreeable.

  • parakeeta

    Why does Ann Coulter hate America and want America to fail? Coulter reflects the rawness of the kooky, know-nuthin’ radical right wing (which is to say the Republicans).

    Here’s a message to all you slobs, all you America-Hating/Terrorist-Enabling Republiscums: STOP HATING AMERICA!

    SteveMG, I have to tell you…I think all this post proves is that with media the way it is today, Jon Stewart is right and you really *don’t* need to exaggerate the headlines these days. I laughed out loud before I even clicked on it.

  • timzank

    Probably a poor excuse for a column, but I do love the way it brings out the fangs. Very few people with a brain would argue Ann is wrong about Biden. He’s like the tipsy Uncle at everybody’s family get together that get’s “humored” and “tolerated”. The guy every family has that embarasses everyone, his quotes are fantastic.

    Whether you are a liberal, a conservative, a dem, or a repub, you can’t tell me with a straight face that Biden isn’t a walking punchline, it’s just not possible.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Adkins/1585417987 Bill Adkins

    Oh, c’mon, tim – I know the Republicans and teabaggers have been trying to spin Biden into a 21st century Dan Quayle, but only idiots are buying that fertilizer. Biden is intelligent and skilled, not the cluster–k the Bushites and Cheney are and will always be remembered. Enjoying the Great Depresson II? Like the doubled national debt? Pleased with failure? Thank a Republican with a big kiss for Bush/Cheney, too.

  • timzank

    Adkins, you honestly (with a straight face) can defend all the ridiculous quotes (on tape mind you) of this boozy, mysoginistic, marginally racist old buffoon??

    Stand up! Oh whoa, what am I sayin’………………

    Drop the dem/repub thing for 5 minutes and just be honest, the man is a walking buffoon.

  • writer

    Name calling isn’t the way to conduct a debate, no matter who’s doing it. Bad, Annie! Bad! There, I’m a conservative and I’ve admonished someone on the right. I now await those of you on the left to admonish posters such as parakeeta. I’m waiting. (Do I hear crickets chirping?)

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Adkins/1585417987 Bill Adkins

    Tinnitis?

  • parakeeta

    I wonder what that cracker,Mann Coulter, has under her dress. Bet it’s a little pinga.

  • writer

    Hey, Bill. There’s some more of that name calling you get so outraged over. Go get her!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Adkins/1585417987 Bill Adkins

    rowrrrr

  • writer

    That’s what I thought. Not surprised.

  • Facebook User

    hey Bill, how can you say Breitbart is useless? He has more clout than Shuster.

  • Edwin Everhart

    Here is a racist thing to say: “drunken Irishman.” Let’s all not say racist things like that.

  • SteveMG

    ‘Here is a racist thing to say: “drunken Irishman.”’

    The Irish are a race?

    Boy, if this was a British blog that would be quite a setup line on my part.

  • shootfromthehip

    Ann Coulter, killing erections since the 1970s.

  • ImNotBlue

    Can someone tell me why shootfromthehip’s sexism and misogyny are acceptable?

    Remember last week, when O’Reilly complained that feminists don’t support someone like Palin. This is a good example of the same thing. Shoot will say something undeniably sexist and offensive (apparently, Ann’s goofy statement isn’t worth criticizing, it’s her appearance)… and that’s okay, because it’s about Coulter. That’s called hypocrisy, folks.

    I absolutely (heart) Ann Coulter.

    The “pretend he’s a serious statesman” line…. remember that Biden wanted to split Iraq into three separate countries and let the Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis have chunks a la the separation of India into India and Pakistan (that worked out well in defusing tensions and feuds huh?) He and Obama also opposed the Bush/McCain surge (Which McCain pushed over the objections of Rumsfeld too) and today the surge has resulted in a stable Iraq. Biden then claims said stable Iraq as a success of the Obama administration.

    If it is such, it is only because they allowed the Bush policy to continue and to come to fruition.

    Also the Obama administration also must have loved it enough to go on to do the same type of move in Afghanistan which the Democrat talking head on the show now trumpets.

    Ann Coulter knows how to speak in a way to get attention but once she has it she makes spot on points. Like a good movie that grabs the viewer but then has solid points and messages underneath, she’ll grab you in and the video posters in with the hit line, but then make a very concise and serious point.

    I love her, yes I do.
