What to make of Ann Coulter? She's published yet another book:
She's back! Conservative (and controversial) author and columnist Ann Coulter has a new book out called 'Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America.' It's a delightful tale about a teenage girl from Washington State who falls maddeningly in love with a centenarian vampire who's totally dreamy and ... wait, you say that's 'Twilight'? Right! In 'Demonic,' Coulter sets out to portray American liberalism as the result of mob mentality and traces this behavior back to the French Revolution. As you can imagine she once again does not have kind words for the left, President Obama or Anthony Weiner. She spoke to PopEater (I know, right?) about the origins of the book, then slams conspiracy theories around Sarah Palin and admits to at least two things Obama has done right. And she has a theory as to why you don't see quite as much of her on this publicity tour.

Her tsunami of words has had its repercussions. For instance, Coulter faced plagiarism charges five years ago.
"Complete" List of Coulter Plagiarism Allegations
By Justin Rood - July 7, 2006, 10:45AM
Behold, the list.
Since we started covering the plagiarism accusations leveled at Ann Coulter, a number of readers have asked to see the alleged examples firsthand. So we have tried to compile all known examples of plagiarism that have been alleged to be in Ann Coulter's work.
This list does not include instances of factual distortion or wrongly-cited material. The following list focuses on those examples, identified by the New York Post and others, in which it appears Coulter has, without attribution, used another writer's words, or a substantial portion of another person's unique research.
Another challenge: some alleged examples of plagiarism cited conflicting source material. For instance, some of the outlandish NEA grant recipients Coulter mentioned in a 2005 column had been listed in a 1993 article by someone else, but that article appears to have been based on a 1991 Heritage Foundation document. In these cases, we have opted to reference the earliest known version of the work, assuming it would be the original.
To be clear, none of the examples shown below were discovered by TPMmuckraker.com. They were identified by the blogger Rude Pundit, Raw Story, plagiarism expert John Barrie and the New York Post, writer David Chapman and the Boston Globe. In each case, after the alleged example of plagiarism we've noted the party who originally identified the similar or identical passages. In this list we're not making any judgments. We're putting the textual evidence before you. You decide.
We'd like to keep this list as complete as possible, so if there are other examples not included, please let us know.

And, of course, her nasty lambasting of liberals has drawn some counter-fire down upon her head:

A common thread (no pun intended) from Coulter book to Coulter book has been her appearance on the cover in a black (sometimes low-cut) dress:

I can't decide if I think she looks hot in these outfits or if she reminds me of Morticia Addams. Then again, I've always been a bit conflicted about whether Morticia was hot or just creepy.

"Demonic" seems to have abandoned this theme, featuring only a red title on a black background. Or is the black background a close-up of a part of her signature black dress? If so, was she wearing it when the shot was taken? And if so, what part of Coulter's body is behind that swatch of fabric? Oh, my, as Forrest said, "Ah feel dizzy."
