Ann Coulter

So, the Huffington Post tells me that in her latest contribution to political scholarship, Ann Coulter will "slam" Michelle Obama.

As you can guess, I was devastated, right? I mean, Ann Coulter is certainly an intelligent figure who is well deserving of our attention. I mean, what did Obama say? I'm sure it will really be damaging to her public image if she made another unfortunate comment about country/pride/etc. like during the primaries.

So, could you imagine my shock when the thing Ann was slamming was Michelle's sense of style in comparison to Cindy McCain. Read it here and below:

Coulter wrote, "Her obvious imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."


Coulter said Cindy McCain, the wife of vanquished GOP nominee John McCain, "dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history."


Not that I was expecting anything thought provoking from Ann Coulter, but... fashion? I thought she had some pretentions of being taken seriously but I see she has abandoned that hope. This is pretty inane even by her usual standards. I mean, economic policy, international relations, etc. are hard to understand, so it is much easier to pick on the soon-to-be first lady's flipped under hair style.
