Next entry: A skeleton of the Veteran’s Day post I meant to write Previous entry: Atheist prank sadly tainted

Buy This Thing I’m Selling!

Ann Coulter has a new book coming out, and this is the description, courtesy of Random House:

This book is so hot we can’t tell you what it’s about. Ann Coulter never disappoints.

Longer publisher: Ann Coulter has another book left on this misbegotten contract, and handed us a mess so pointless and out of touch that the only way we can market it is by constantly referring to the fact that Ann Coulter wrote an Ann Coulter book by Ann Coulter. 

Ann Coulter.

Also key: we’re releasing this book after Christmas, when it’ll be competing with such barnburners as “Children’s Puzzles Inspired by Eragon” and James Patterson’s newest (as of yet unfinished) novel, “Detective Mystery starring Woman and/or Minority”.

How can the publisher know how hot the book is?  Coulter probably hasn’t stolen it yet…

Their blurb is true, for those cases where “never” equals “always”.

Comment #2: Eric, Rejector of Memez  on  11/11  at  01:56 PM

It is “hot” because it has a guaranteed audience of wingnuts, who would buy Coulter’s used maxipads if she flattened them and stapled them between two covers.

I’m thinking of writing a book called How to Speak to a Republican - If You Must.

But I can’t figure out if all prisons use the same communication system for visitors to talk to prisoners or not.  I wouldn’t want to be misleading…

Comment #4: MikeEss  on  11/11  at  02:03 PM

Hmmm, that James Patterson thing sounds interesting ...

Comment #5: Richard Goblin  on  11/11  at  02:07 PM

Oh, please.  It’s about how Obama is a godless Islamicist Marxist Weatherman who slavers at the prospect of maximizing the number of abortions in America so some can be botched and the newborns can then be killed.  What the hell else would Annie One-Note be writing now?

Comment #6: Steve M.  on  11/11  at  02:09 PM

MikeEss, plagarism *is* theft.

Well, you have to understand that Coulter’s muse is simply not like other writer’s muse. Whereas other nonfiction writers might spend hours at the library, or reviewing their notes or newpaper clippings, or online searching Lexus-Nexis, Coulter’s creative process is decidedly different, and does not yield product in a linear fashion. From the notes of famous Coulterologists (sadly, none have survived to give a first hand report) I have been able to piece together the general cycle of a Coulter book creation:

After devouring a small puppy whole, Coulter will regurgitate an “Ann pellet” of the puppy’s bones and fur which she will then burn in a brazier and inhale the fumes. This will provide her with a general working title. From there, she will recede into her nest for several days, where she will slough off her outer skin, while sending out her mating call, a rapid-fire series of dogwhistles like “Islamofascist,” and “Islamofacimarxist.” She will appear from this molting glistening and seek a young, naive male, which she will lure into her lair—her pheromones are actually being studied by the DoD for their biological warfare capabilities as we speak—but having secured the unsuspecting male, she will begin the process of crafting the book. This is where most of the accounts of the Coulterologists are terminated, however, it appears that the act may be similar to the scene leading up to the final fight in the season one ep of Buffy Teacher’s Pet.

The publishers, wisely, do not attempt to pry into any of this process, knowing that the survival rate of spectators is zero. So they can only announce when she has visited the local Humane Society and purchased a small puppy, knowing that a new book will soon be forthcoming.

Legal is trying to figure out if Random House will get in trouble with the Secret Service for publishing a book in which the author repeatedly and explicitly advocates killing the president.

Comment #9: Scott  on  11/11  at  02:23 PM

It’ll be available for FREE on all the wingnut websites within a week of publication as literally tens of copies trickle off the shelves of Berean Bookstores everywhere.

“After devouring a small puppy whole, Coulter will regurgitate an “Ann pellet” of the puppy’s bones and fur which she will then burn in a brazier and inhale the fumes.”

God!  If you’ve never had to deal with a stubborn nest of Coulters in your attic, you’re lucky.  The mess, and the smell!...

Comment #11: MikeEss  on  11/11  at  02:29 PM

I also repeat my call for progressives to take advantage of this situation by calling for all unsold copies of Ann’s book to be gathered and used as building material for creating homes for needy people.  We might as well get some benefit from of her “efforts”...

Comment #12: MikeEss  on  11/11  at  02:32 PM

MikeEss—not to mention the ungodly screeching.

Comment #13: Mighty Ponygirl  on  11/11  at  02:33 PM

I think it’s called “100 Foot Neon Outrage: How This Liberal Person/Group/Institution/Idea Destroyed This Conservative Person/Group/Institution/Idea…....and What You Can Do To Stop It”

They’ll get a better handle on the book as soon as she mad libs in the correct oppressor and besieged conservative.

Alternate, slightly shorter, publisher:

Nope, none of us could read it either.

Comment #15: Funkula  on  11/11  at  02:51 PM

MikeEss—it’s a lovely thought, but I’d be afraid it would be worse than building on an ancient Indian burial ground. Wouldn’t want to inflict that on people who’ve already suffered enough.

Comment #16: Redshift  on  11/11  at  03:31 PM

I’ve got a few suggestions, if Ann hasn’t thought of one.
“Meal Ticket”
“My Invitation to Hardball some time in January”
“Buzzwords: The Liberal Conspiracy to Destroy Conservative Intellectual Prowess”
“Nail’n Palin:  Not a direct ripe-off of a politically incorrect porno”
“Please!  Please!  Look At Me!  I’m Lonely!”
“New York Times Best Seller List Sucks!  Haha!  You Have To Print This.”

Comment #17: Zifnab25  on  11/11  at  03:40 PM

I’ve wondered what happened to Coulter. She sort of disappeared the last year or so. My theory was she’s really a “harvest being” like those in The Island, hence Phyllis Schafly’s continued existence.

Comment #18: seventwentyfour  on  11/11  at  03:56 PM

God!  If you’ve never had to deal with a stubborn nest of Coulters in your attic, you’re lucky.  The mess, and the smell!…

The problem is that the Coulter eats her own numerous young.  Just as you get rid of one, another dozen rise to take her place, smaller but almost as annoying.

There’s never a Cadmann Weyland around when you need one.

Comment #19: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  11/11  at  03:58 PM

The thing about Coulter (aside from fucking her in the ass, hard) that always weirded me out is her, ah, fanbase. Back, like, 2003/4ish, they were backing her to the hilt, arguing her points and footnotes. Y’know, really trying to prove her right. Then, I think around 05 or so, nothing much changed on her part, but suddenly, Coulter was ALWAYS just stirring the pot. She was ALWAYS just doing satire, and us widdle Dems/Liberals needed to get a sense of humor, sheesh. It was weird. I was even able to quote people (thank you, internet) on it, and they would just shuffle their feet, and insist they were joking or trying to prove a point to teh liburals.

It was so weird. She really didn’t up the level of insanity (which would have impressed me, given the baseline level of batshittery), but, as one, they decided she was now joking, and had always been joking, and we couldn’t see it because we were the targets. We’ve always been at war with Eurasia, y’know?

After Christmas:

“Please, God, don’t let anyone but the right-wing buying clubs read or review this book.”

Comment #21: paul  on  11/11  at  04:14 PM

Yeah, B, real nice w/the sexual assault ‘joke’.  What are you, AC’s apprentice?

Comment #22: Eric, Rejector of Memez  on  11/11  at  04:21 PM

Er, I was making reference to this:

Comment #23: B-  on  11/11  at  04:27 PM

James Patterson’s newest (as of yet unfinished) novel, “Detective Mystery starring Woman and/or Minority”.

HEY!

Sometimes he writes stories about little girls who have been genetically engineered to have wings and lay eggs.


————-
No.  I am not joking.  I know it looks like that, but I am totally serious.  Little girl looks like an angel!  And she can fly!  And she has a tough boy-name nickname!  And the couple that find her have to save her from the evul geneticists who created her!  And you can finish this book on an airplane because there’s no WAY OUT until it lands.

No joke.

I’ve loved Ann Coulter ever since she was photographed for the cover of that Edgar Winter album, “They Only Come Out at Night”.  Gawd, she is beautiful!!!

Oh my GOD he’s right! If my husband wore makeup… he would look like Ann Coulter!

I may never have sex again.

(Disclaimer: My husband looks exactly like Edgar Winter. Well, like Edgar Winter *did*, given that my husband is about 20-30 years younger than Winter.)

I think they’ve already had success with that method.

Comment #27: Taylor  on  11/11  at  05:57 PM

In other words, whatever it is, she owns it!

Comment #28: Ms Kate  on  11/11  at  06:18 PM

Mostly I feel sorry for the trees that lost their lives to create what is most certain to be a book filled with pointless vitriol.

Comment #29: Renee  on  11/11  at  07:41 PM

I think it’s called “100 Foot Neon Outrage: How This Liberal Person/Group/Institution/Idea Destroyed This Conservative Person/Group/Institution/Idea…....and What You Can Do To Stop It”

Nah. She’s gonna go with the kiboshed title of Nas’ last full-length.

Bet.
