Crooks and Liars brings us news of T. C. Ann Coulter's appearance on Mike Huckabee's Fox talk show. Here's a description from C&L ...

Last night we ... got the clown wingnut, Ann Coulter. It actually was a highly amusing exchange, in large part because Coulter had said so many cruel things about Huckabee during the campaign and he replayed several of them. It was worth it just to see Coulter squirm at having her phoniness on such brilliant display.

So, did the Governor attempt to expose her as a phony? No, he just had his feelings hurt when she lies about him. Instead, he sought her approval.

Of course. Because the essence of being a right-wing politician these days is to earn the Blessing of the Brownshirt Barbie. One can't expect to win as a Republican, evidently, unless you pass the Ann Coulter Wingnut Ideological Purity Examination (which indeed has a family resemblance to a colonoscopy).
