My Favorite After School Snack...Cold Glass Of Milk and A Big Slice Of Coulter's Food Cake.."

Nostradamus ain’t got nothin on Shakespeare.

Oh, futureboy gets all the oohs and ahhs when it comes to his documented prognostications of, what were in his time, future events.

But I’d offer you that Willie was quite the fortuneteller, as well.

For example…

(CNN) — Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter’s 15-minute address at CPAC played more like a stand-up comedy act than a political speech.

Coulter delivered line after line of jabs at President Obama, the Democratic Party and the media – each met with roaring laughter from the crowd.

The commentator – who is no stranger to controversy – first went after MSNBC, calling the hosts the “alternative prom crowd.”

Pointing to recent comparisons of Obama to Jesus and Abraham Lincoln, Coulter said the media has turned from being the people’s watchdog to the “government guard dog.”

“Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t see Lincoln text messaging with Scarlet Johansson … and I forget, how many times did Lincoln vote present?” she said, to much applause.

Coulter likened members of the media and Democrats to parents “gushing” over a newborn baby.

“Having pulled off their rather mediocre 53 percent to 46 percent victory, liberals can’t stop boasting about their new baby boy,” she said.

She said it was interesting that Obama’s “adorers” in the media compare him to Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, because, “apparently they can’t think of a Democratic president worthy of being compared to.”

“If [Obama] thinks people wanted change in 2009, wait until 2012,” she said.

Coulter has a long history of making controversial comments about politicians. Following her appearance at the 2007 CPAC, multiple companies asked to pull their ads from her Web site after she used what some observers called an anti-gay slur to describe then-Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

She was also at odds with Sen. John McCain during the campaign season, saying "John McCain is not only bad for Republicanism, which he definitely is — he is bad for the country."

If Ann Coulter wants to make fun of politicians, I say thee yea, Ann Coulter.

After all, being able to lampoon the government and our elected leaders without fear of being dragged not so softly into that good night is a wonderful benefit of being an American and said lampooning is a proud American tradition, from Will Rogers to Mort Sahl and beyond.

And that kind of lampooning does us all a service for, underneath it all, it keeps us aware of what those vote seeking scoundrels are up to and them aware that we are aware.

At the same time, using humor as the frame keeps us civilians intrigued long enough to pay real attention to the painting being framed.

Put simply, humorists who, without concern for their personal agendas, stick pins in the hot air filled balloons of politics are as American as Mom, apple pie and…well…humorists who stick pins in the hot air filled balloons of politics.

Here’s the thing, though.

I never really get the feeling that Ann Coulter is making fun of politicians without concern for her personal agenda.

You can’t reasonably call her the loyal opposition because I think you have to be on a specific side to oppose the other loyally.

And while she is obviously a pit bull for the conservative cause, she obviously didn’t feel the need to even feign allegiance to McCain and the Moose Lady this past year.

So if she feels empowered to rag on pretty much everybody involved in the process, regardless of platform plank or party affiliation, it seems only reasonable to conclude that the only agenda she is out there hawking is her own.

The gospel according to Ann Coulter.

Those who don’t like Ann Coulter use lots of derogatory, misogynistic terms both before and after the mention of her name.

That’s just bad taste.

She’s not the way she is because she’s female.

And throwing that dart is, ironically, certifiably UN-American.

I’ve also heard more than one Coulter basher describe her in more Biblical terms.

They say that she is the Anti-Christ.

Personally, based on her presentation to date, I’m inclined to split the tiniest of hairs here.

Literally the Anti-Christ?
Uh, no.

The devil?
Getting warmer.

No pun intended.

And as evidence of my theory, I would only offer you that she fits the job description:

Deviously and cleverly playing both ends against the middle while she pushes her personal agenda and enlists glassy eyed recruits into her own private band of followers.

Which brings us back to Nostradamus and Shakespeare.

Cool Mo NostraD could “predict” wars, famines and assassinations with the best of em.

Willie The Bard, on the other hand, seemed to have the whole Biblical / political connection nailed.

Hamlet.
Act 2, Scene 2.

“The devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape…”

Whoa.

Apparently even Nostradamus didn’t see that one coming.
