Ted Rall Writes Ann Coulter's Obit

Editor & Publisher has the story about how the cartoonist and blogger was commissioned to write Ann Coulter's obituary.

"Coulter died from injuries sustained on September 11, 2006, when the historic replica of a dirigible in which she was riding exploded over the Hudson River near Ground Zero in lower Manhattan," wrote Rall.

"Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board believe that Coulter initiated the accident when she fired a pistol as she stormed the airship's flight deck in the mistaken belief that its bearded pilot was an Islamic hijacker."

Rall continued: "President Bush awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, for her 'valorous Valkyrie-like vigilance.'" He added, referring to Coulter: "Although privately shy, she struggled against the demons of introversion in thousands of television and lectures before packed, rapt audiences of admirers. 'I'm dreadfully afraid of the limelight,' she once confessed during an interview with Larry King, 'but if not me, who? I have a duty.'

"The lengthy mock-obit runs more than 15 paragraphs.

Lengthy? Anything about Coulter is too long by more than half.

Strange. I don't wish Coulter dead.

No, I want her to live a very long life in the hell of her own making. Stephen King's got nothing on this uber bitch.
