The ne plus ultra of conservatives crapping away Iraq in a fit of spite at Maverick: “I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism.” Madness.
Update: “The gulf between Hillary and McCain is Grand-Canyon like.”

Ann, God love her, is nuts.
Purple Fury on January 31, 2008 at 9:58 PM
What a disgrace.
SnarkVader on January 31, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Ann
McCain vs Obama, I’d support Obama. McCain vs Clinton, I’d actually be able to do something normally impossible for myself - stay neutral!!!
infidelpride on January 31, 2008 at 10:00 PM
I took it as a joke. Alan was hysterical.
I will NOT vote for john so, GO MITT…
stenwin77 on January 31, 2008 at 10:01 PM
why couldn’t she atleast say 3rd party? Or is she admitting a 3rd party vote by her is a defacto vote for Hillary?
jp on January 31, 2008 at 10:02 PM
A LOT of the Repubs really are this mad. I wouldn’t vote for Hillary if hell froze over, but I don’t like McCain either. Romney better do something brilliant real soon or we are going to be in for a VERY long year.
PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on January 31, 2008 at 10:02 PM
I turned the TV on just as she said that.
It’s just stupid the way were flying off the handle with such flippant and ignorant responses while, in contrast, the Dems just concluded their lovefest.
CliffHanger on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 PM
unfrickingbedamnlieaggghable
LickyLicky on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 PM
John McCain started this.
He has been throwing a lot of hate at Conservatives over the years and the thought of voting for that man makes many conservatives sick to our stomachs.
EJDolbow on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 PM
How to make McCain acceptable and how to beat the dems at their own game, setting the stage for a huge gender shift in 2012…..
http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/
Never thought about it until I found this guy’s site….
battleoflepanto1571 on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I’ll never vote for McCain or any Dem, and this is my first election.
SECOND LOOK AT THROWING WAY FIRST EVER PRESIDENTIAL VOTE!
HYTEAndy on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I love Ann Coulter!!!
thuja on January 31, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Dude?
Slublog on January 31, 2008 at 10:04 PM
I was touched when she cried.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, this video is *priceless*
The Ugly American on January 31, 2008 at 10:04 PM
if he hadn’t played this game, would he be as popular and “Electable” that he is?
jp on January 31, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I don’t think Hillary is going to pull the troops out either.
Spirit of 1776 on January 31, 2008 at 10:05 PM
What a dumbass.
RightWinged on January 31, 2008 at 10:06 PM
McCain derangement syndrome!
lorien1973 on January 31, 2008 at 10:06 PM
McCain= Disaster.
therightwinger on January 31, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Considering she’s an embarassment to Republicans, I’ll hold her to it.
THE CHOSEN ONE on January 31, 2008 at 10:06 PM
You would, huh?
CliffHanger on January 31, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Ann is probably mostly concerned with what’s best for the Coulter brand. Her forte is saying thing that seem outrageous–this being one of the craziest.
Look forward to you guys posting video of Ann & Hillary out on the campaign stump. If Hillary thought Bill was a loose cannon wait until she has to explain what Coulter says.
dedalus on January 31, 2008 at 10:07 PM
She’s not nuts, she just knows how to really drive a point home.
imshocked on January 31, 2008 at 10:07 PM
the dems at same time were debating who could cut and run the best and fastest as Coulter states Hillary would be better than McCain on war.
maybe its that a President McCain would hurt her business
jp on January 31, 2008 at 10:08 PM
+1. She doesn’t leave things in a forgettable manner.
Spirit of 1776 on January 31, 2008 at 10:09 PM
May just write in “Cloverfield” this November if it’s McCain vs Anyone.
CABE on January 31, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Ann is right…Hillary will not “bring the troops home”. Rush predicted this mid-last year. She just can’t. I can’t say about Ubama.
I hope, if McCain is the R nominee, that Mitt runs as a 3rd party. Romney/DeMint!
SouthernGent on January 31, 2008 at 10:10 PM
I don’t either, Obama though???
in truth, none of them in their right mind would at this point. The probable aftermath would discredit them and their party forever, plus the nation has already put forth a substantial investment in Iraq and building an Embassy and bases for our new ally
jp on January 31, 2008 at 10:10 PM
You don’t see this as an underhanded slap at Hillary?
I think this is Ann trying to rial up Hillary supporters.
Vigilante on January 31, 2008 at 10:10 PM
I don`t care what wrath I get from all of you, but I`m getting really tired of this tantrum. For God`s sake, you sound like babies!
Now bring it.
ThePrez on January 31, 2008 at 10:11 PM
This kind of talk only gives aid and comfort to the Democrats and it really has to stop
bnelson44 on January 31, 2008 at 10:11 PM
That clip IS pretty frickin funny.
The whole FNC studio is cracking up there at the end…
Purple Fury on January 31, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Hillay is toast now. Ann is brilliant.
Buddahpundit on January 31, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Well, there is an easy way for Republicans to avoid that catastrophe.
I will stay home. And why not? I’ve never voted before. So it’s pretty easy for me.
Mark V. on January 31, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Has Ann been reading the Necromicon? Because she’s talking about supporting Hillary and is starting to resemble a Deadite.
fiatboomer on January 31, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Hilarious clip. Coulter at her best.
Bugler on January 31, 2008 at 10:12 PM
LOL……
The Ugly American on January 31, 2008 at 10:13 PM
I should’ve watched the clip before pronouncing her nuts.
She is nuts, but there’s no evidence of it in that clip.
Purple Fury on January 31, 2008 at 10:13 PM
OK she is a bit over the top.
Wow not just the hosts but the crew were laughting too.
EJDolbow is right though, John McCain started this.
False conservatives like John have the power unlike anyone else to push conservatives over the edge.
Tim Pancoast on January 31, 2008 at 10:13 PM
I don’t know about Obama. I can’t get a real sense on him here.
I do believe however, as I’ve may have said before, that the only thing better than defeat for democrats is victory. If we have consolidate victory in the early stages of the next administration and the democrats can take credit, they happily will. We’ve already seen this attempt with Hillary claiming the get-out-now pressure is what caused the surge success.
And I don’t think Bush cares so much, as long as it gets done. I think he and Hillary both understand Iraq as a political football and a win has even more legs for her than a loss.
Spirit of 1776 on January 31, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Ann Coulter has totally lost it. She should henceforth be laughed at as a complete nitwit. I mean it.
Hillary Clinton is anti-military socialist, who will increase government spending, accept defeat in Iraq, pursue appeasement policies in foreign affairs, seek outright amnesty in immigration, and nominate left wing judges to the federal bench. So that is someone whom Ann Coulter supports? Perhaps it is latent sisterly love.
John McCain is a pro-life conservative who served his country as a Navy combat aviator and P.O.W., who will cut Government spending, who has been right all along on Iraq and will insist on victory in Iraq, who will be a hawk in foreign policy, who will cut the corproate tax rate to spur business, who accepts the judgment of the majority of American people that law enforcement in immigration must come first and who pledged to the Federalist Society in Jnuary 2007 and thereafter that he will nominate strict constructionists to the U.S. Supreme Court. And that is someone whom Ann Coulter cannot support?
My older son is a U.S. Army First Lieutenant (with Ranger tab) who until last October served as an infantry platoon leader in Iraq; for his service, he earned a Bronze Star and an Army Commendation Medal for Valor for actions under fire. My younger son will be commissioned a U.S. Marines Second Lieutenant in May having already passed officer training at Quantico. I cannot help but note and appreciate that John McCain’s sons are continuing his family tradition of military service to the nation. John McCain is the son and grandson of U.S. Navy Admirals. One of John McCain’s sons is a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marines serving in Iraq; the other is attending the U.S. Naval Academy. John McCain speaks often of service to the nation, and he is by far the most qulaified person to be the next Commander in Chief. And that, again, is someone whom Ann Coulter cannot support?
Who has Ann Coulter endorsed? Romney, who does not have a clue as to military matters and foreign policy and who when it was convenient for him to be pro-choice and pro-gay rights when running for Governor of Massachusetts, was stridently pro-choice and pro-gay rights. Sounds like an Ann Coulter candidate to me. Also, Romney’s sons are working in Romney’s campaign, and Romney said that they are serving America by doing so. That smacks of an attitude of “it’s all about me.” It is of course an attitude that Coulter understands.
Phil Byler on January 31, 2008 at 10:13 PM
If McCain is the nominee, I will write in Fred Thompson!
ConservativePartyNow on January 31, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Besides: Where, exactly, is she wrong in her criticism of McVey?
For once, I find myself wishing that she were wrong but, alas, she isn’t. McVain is, indeed, to the left of the Hildebeest. And, what’s worse, somebody who is more of a narcissist and pathological liar than Cankles has been located, something that I thought I’d never live to see.
Misha I on January 31, 2008 at 10:14 PM
I. LOVED. THAT. Gotta love Ann and her wild eyed rantings. I have to wonder if she would follow through if it comes to it however. Frankly, I think it’s going to be Obama coming out of the Dems camp anyway.
My buddy Amir is probably going to miss work tomorrow…so great his grief will be.
Pilgrim on January 31, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Very entertaining television, which is why Ann is a star. My only question to Ann would be: are you going to vote in NY or FL? Hillary has NY locked up, but FL would be close again.
dedalus on January 31, 2008 at 10:14 PM
McCain has polarized conservatives. Dear God please don’t let him be the Republican nominee or we’re toast.
Shay on January 31, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Had this clip simply happened yesterday, today’s debate would have been a riot!!!!
I love the look of Alan ;-)
infidelpride on January 31, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Go Ann Go!
I completely agree.
Juan and Hillary are thisclose apart on the issues.
SimplyKimberly on January 31, 2008 at 10:16 PM
He is neither. The MSM and the DNC are promoting John McCain constantly because they know he is the easiest to beat.
He has a lot of dirty laundry, lots of bad and stupid comments on tape, and he lacks presidential temperment.
Remember George Allen’s Macaca moment?
There will be hundreds of DNC operatives following McCain around and the second he drops the F bomb, yells at a woman staffer and makes her cry or has a mental breakdown, it will be played thousands of time on the same media that is shilling for him now.
EJDolbow on January 31, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Give Colmsey credit for playing that bizarre scene perfectly. He’s usually Hannity’s humorless punching bag.
Cuffy Meigs on January 31, 2008 at 10:16 PM
You know all the networks are going to run with this. Now think if you are a halfwit Hillary supporter and see that Ann is saying Hillary is more conservative than McCain…think about it.
Vigilante on January 31, 2008 at 10:17 PM
I have to admit, Ann’s “McCain is too stupid to know when he’s caught lying” made me laugh. I also think it may have come from my post last night. But it was funnier coming from her.
Bryan on January 31, 2008 at 10:17 PM
First she claims that Christians are perfected Jews and now this?
She is pretty funny, but I’m afraid she’s jumped the shark.
Dorvillian on January 31, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Bawawawawawawa! Bawawawawawawawa! Bawawawawawawawa! Bawawawawawawawa! Bawawawawawawawa! Bawawawawawawawa! Bawawawawawawawa!
Ooooooh my God!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS SO DAMN FUNNY!!!
I am almost having to call an ambulance because I damn near choked on my popcorn!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Ann for ending my day in outrageous laughter!
God… I’m going to have to play that clip again when I need to laugh.. but let me enjoy my popcorn first.
Does she ever know how to drive a point home!
Mcguyver on January 31, 2008 at 10:20 PM
She’s right. Hillary could use NUKES and get away with it.
Metro on January 31, 2008 at 10:21 PM
I won’t vote for Hillary. But I won’t be voting for McCain either.
Write in for Fred. (unless he endorses McCain - then I write in Mickey Mouse.)
I will NEVER, EVER vote for a man that has backstabbed me and my principles once, much less every time he’s turned around.
If the moderates and Independents (of which I am now BECAUSE of Shamnesty) give John the nom - they do it at their own political peril.
tickleddragon on January 31, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Banished from the party. This is absolute insanity. She can join Sean’s conservative party and it’s .3% revolution.
Vizzini on January 31, 2008 at 10:23 PM
LMAO….the lady has a way of making a point. A point shared by many. McShamnesty is a disgrace and his train must be derailed for the good of my children, the Country, the conservative movement ….. and lastly, the repub party.
David in ATL on January 31, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Ann, you have lost it. Throw your vote, but don’t support liberal socialists.
Let Hillary ruin the country for 4 years, fight her legislation from congress…and make America realize that liberals suck. Better then McCain ruining the conservative name.
msipes on January 31, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Wow, I love Ann but I don’t think I would go that far. I could see myself not voting for president but not activly working for Hillary. Sooner jump off a bridge.
conservnut on January 31, 2008 at 10:23 PM
That was the FIRST time ever that Alan Colmes was actually funny.
And while I don’t totally agree with Ann on this take, it was beee-uuuu-tiful.
I loved the way she pointed out that these guys are all now kissing the ring, trying to get a spot in a McCain whitehouse. Only problem…. it ain’t happening. McCain gets crushed.
Sugar Land on January 31, 2008 at 10:24 PM
General Zod!
dawgyear on January 31, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Bye, Ann. What little credibility you had is now down the drain. See ya!
Baphomet on January 31, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Fine. Then I don’t want to hear any whining from Coulter when HRC pulls out the troops, closes Gitmo, passes ever more liberal abortion laws, appointts leftist judges, spies on her enemies, and give amnesty to 15 million illegal aliens. You vote for her then you get what you ask for. Go for it Ann. Vote how you feel. But afterward, shut your pie hole.
I know Hot Air, like the Corner, loves to dump on McCain 24/7. I disagree with the man on illegals too. But only a deluded fool thinks HRC would be a better president, by any stretch of the imagination. If you vote for HRC then you’ll have no one but yourself to blame when the sh!t hits the fan.
Who do you want in office when the Iranians test the Bomb? When the Pakistan collapses? When Justice Stevens resigns?
Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.
Vote Sauron 08 on January 31, 2008 at 10:24 PM
And you guys can explain yourselves when John McCain is president, putting idiotic liberal issues up and we’re unable to get the presidency back for decades. Thanks a lot being able to see the bigger picture.
tickleddragon on January 31, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Ann’s next book: “If Mccain had a brain he’d be a REAL Republican”
Tony737 on January 31, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Now compare Ann’s approach to Jonah Goldberg’s. The GOP establishment is getting out in front of its likely candidate.
Cuffy Meigs on January 31, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Even though I’d never vote for Hillary, she makes a good point…
D2Boston on January 31, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Phil Byler,
Will you please stop copying and pasting…. you’re boring me to tears…
You sound like ole ‘Cain himself.. “I led a squadron of…….”
’nuff already!
Mcguyver on January 31, 2008 at 10:25 PM
I’m amazed that McCain is going to have to tack RIGHT after the primaries to be viable in the general.
askheaves on January 31, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Oh, and Colmes really is laugh-out loud funny in this one. If only he had started smoking, too.
fiatboomer on January 31, 2008 at 10:26 PM
This is hilarious. Some of y’all totally didn’t get it.
SouthernGent on January 31, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Calm down folks, Ann isn’t nuts, the woman is making a point.
And Alan was funny for a change.
Tony737 on January 31, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Your RINO’s who are pushing McCain are absolute MORONS. HE IS NEVER GOING TO BE PRESIDENT PEOPLE! As soon as he gets the momination, the press turns against him and he doesn’t have any support from most of his own, supposedly, party!
He has given the finger to conservatives for the past ten years, and by god come november, he is going to get it back!
Bikerken on January 31, 2008 at 10:27 PM
You’ll thank me when you sober up.
Vizzini on January 31, 2008 at 10:28 PM
This will be known as the Ann Coulter meltdown live on national TV. I predict we will see this happening to other commentators in the coming months.
Baphomet on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Tonight on Leno McCain kinda sums up why I’m still for McCain.
JOHN McCAIN: In a way, yeah. If I could just tell you a brief story. I was in Iraq with my friend Senator Lindsey Graham. 688 brave young Americans ‑‑ temperatures like 125 ‑‑ reenlist to stay in Iraq and fight. I mean, it was one of the more moving experiences I’ve ever had. We were on the plane on the way back, and we were talking, and I said, “You know, you’ve got these kids out there, these brave young Americans out there, and I’m worried about my political future, and they are putting it on the line. We’re not going to let them get defeated. We’re not going to have them surrender, and they’re going to win,” and, by golly, they are winning, my friend.
bnelson44 on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
By the way, I watched the whole show tonight and I was cracking up too. It was actually funny as hell, you could hear the entire stage crew bustin up too!
Bikerken on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
And it’s poor Britney they lock up in the walnut factory. Crazy world.
snaggletoothie on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Gitmo - what’s the difference between HC and JM?
Amnesty - what’s the difference between HC and JM?
The troops may be moot, if Bush is successful. Judges are a crapshoot. The other two I’ll give absolutely give you tho’.
Spirit of 1776 on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
No sport, I’d have to BE drunk to consider voting for McVain a good option.
No scratch that…I’d have to be brain dead.
tickleddragon on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
I agree with her )so I am a nut. I am nut who would rather have our troops here defending us when our liberal President turns the country over to the UN or Mexico. With “Maverick” in charge, he’ll just turn us over…period. The man has no resolve to stop illegal immigration and his lips moving and saying “I get it now” doesn’t fly (what’s he doing about now…absolutely nothing…none of them are). He has no more resolve to close the border than George Bush.
TOPV on January 31, 2008 at 10:29 PM
I won’t vote for either the harridan or the Manchurian candidate. However, she (under the donkey banner) will screw things up so badly we might get a true conservative in another 4 years (after getting 30,000,000 new citizen voters from south of the border, gay marriage, a recession, expanded eminent domain, communist judges on the supreme court, and expansion of hate crimes to “thought” crimes, etc. etc.).
I was for Fred. Now, I’m buying guns and / or ammo with my $600 rebate.
BowHuntingTexas on January 31, 2008 at 10:30 PM
I am torn. I will not vote for any candidate who I believe will take us down the road to socialism, and therefore could not vote for Obama or Clinton, but I agree that McCain is not that different from Clinton. At this point, I have to be with Romney. If he isn’t in it, I really don’t know what I’ll do. I would really hate to see Obama or Clinton win it, but I don’t want to support McCain either.
Is it sometimes better to purposely lose based on good principle?
p40tiger on January 31, 2008 at 10:30 PM
McCain derangement syndrome and a lot of you here sound just like her.
Dash on January 31, 2008 at 10:30 PM
If McCain is the nominee, the democrats win. The MSM feeds the people whatever they need to in order to get the polls the way they want them, and the american people have been duped.
The day after McCain gets the nomination, the MSM rips him to pieces. (old, crazy, senile, whatever they got, he’s gonna get.)
Let me leave you with this:
I’ve heard it more times than I can count how many conservatives REFUSE to vote for McCain. I haven’t heard ANY say they won’t vote for Romney. Romney wasn’t my first choice, Fred was, but Mitt will do.
McCain SPLITS the party. Romney JOINS the party.
We make our choice on Tuesday. This IS the end game, folks.
JustTruth101 on January 31, 2008 at 10:31 PM
McCain ‘08==Dole ‘96
belad on January 31, 2008 at 10:32 PM
I’m not the least bit deranged. I made a sane judgement call based on historical facts about the guy. Don’t blame us if you can overlook it when someone spits on your beliefs and then wants your support.
tickleddragon on January 31, 2008 at 10:32 PM
And none of the other Republican candidates were pro-war like McCain?
Please. You’re making excuses for him, now.
HYTEAndy on January 31, 2008 at 10:32 PM
So all the anti-McCains here just became socialist Democrats because McCain’s weak on the border?
I’m just having trouble following the logic here.
McCain’s too liberal, so we’re going to vote for a lying, socialist Democrat criminal because McCain isn’t a 100% down-the-ticket conservative?
How does losing help the GOP? In case we haven’t noticed, the GOP lost the last cycle, and is positioning itself to shoot off it’s kneecaps this year as well. The party isn’t cleaning out the “bad blood” - it’s just fracturing and getting smaller.
Anyone wanna take a shot at convincing me this is a wise electoral strategy?
Good Lt on January 31, 2008 at 10:32 PM
John McCain only has one issue: The surge.
He’s wrong on nearly everything else.
CABE on January 31, 2008 at 10:33 PM
McCain / Obama, I’ll likely be voting for Obama.
McCain / Clinton, I’ll be staying home.
Enoxo on January 31, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Madness…
d1carter on January 31, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I’ll hold my nose and vote McCain. Like taking out the trash or cleaning the litter box. I preferred him in 2000. He seems more corrupt now.
Beagle on January 31, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Please catalogue those discrete beliefs that he’s spit on.
Vizzini on January 31, 2008 at 10:35 PM
I’m anti-McCain and I said I wouldn’t vote for Hillary. Don’t paint with such broad strokes there.
tickleddragon on January 31, 2008 at 10:35 PM
couldn’t she atleast say 3rd party? Or is she admitting a 3rd party vote by her is a defacto vote for Hillary?
jp on January 31, 2008
Good idea! I would vote 3rd party if it was a good candidate. Ron Paul looks good compared to McCain. I can’t believe I am saying that!
JellyToast on January 31, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Juan McCain…wrong for America.
