There She Goes Again

Ann Coulter is playing the victim card yet again.

She was scheduled to appear on the Today show the other day to promote her latest screed of bile, which, considering her latest "poor me" performance, is ironically titled, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America.

However, the show postponed her appearance in order to devote more coverage to the current Israel-Hamas conflict, including Matt Lauer's interview with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Coulter's reaction was immediate and predictable. She claimed that she'd been "banned" from NBC for life". She also told Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes that NBC had booked her only as a "charade" to keep her from going on other shows.

Wah, wah, wah.

Coulter's so-called "ban" turned out to be of only one day's duration, as she was interviewed by Matt Lauer on Wednesday's show.

Coulter's behavior was quite predictable. She is a publicity whore of the highest order and though I'm certain she fully understood the reasons why her appearanced on the Today show was postponed, she chose to exploit this opportunity for even more media exposure. By playing the victim, she was assured of being cussed and discussed on the air, over the web, and in print. She'd reasoned it had been far too long since she'd stirred up crap and jumped on this opening like stink on shit.

With Coulter, it's always Same Shit, Different Day

Birdsnest beat me to it.

As hard as you may find it, the best thing to do in this kind of situation is roll your eyes, then ignore the person.

Ha! I saw her on the Today show and as I walked by the TV I was thinking "I wonder what Will's going to write about her?"

Her whole personality is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. I couldn't watch her, so I changed the channel.
