Shes a Uber-conservative republican who says lot and lots of hateful things about Liberals, Gays, and for some reason she has a vendetta against a group of 9/11 widows. Google her and be ready to be appalled.

She's the Bizarro World humanitarian of the year !

I remember when this happened. A (now long banned) neocon poster at the Joe Q board said this wasn't funny at all because there could have been acid in that pie!

The ol' acid in the pie trick...

I'm surprised it don't happen more often.

I feel bad for the pie throwers. Unfortunately pie throwing is not covered under the first amendment. They could be facing criminal charges, but that not likely. Still though it always saddens me when you are political activists enter our legal system as defendants in a criminal case.

[Cam63]

PIE RAGE !

Heh... That sounds like " porridge. "

Pie Rage sounds like a lesbian porn movie that take place in prison. I'm not going to tell you what porridge sounds like.

Well, pie throwing shouldn't be covered under the First Amendment. It's operationally the same thing as throwing a punch; there'd be no protection for me if I chose to go and and give Senator Lincoln Chaffee a knuckle sandwich. Doing so might be fun but it would be legally and morally wrong, and either of those reasons is why I wouldn't do it. (That plus the ever-so-pragmatic point of it accomplishing nothing.)

If they wish to be political activists, get a suit and seat time on Meet the Press or Face the Nation; don't waste my time with pie-throwing. Despite occasional appearances, the governance of the Republic is not a Three Stooges short. People who commit criminal acts purportedly to advance their political agenda should face criminal charges. Likewise the people who toss pies at Bill Gates; I don't particularly care for him, but he has a right to go about his business without having to dodge pies.

[OzBat!]

Is there some kind of mutant gene that attracts gravity-defying pastry products? Why is it that only certain people get pie-d? Does whipped creme send a better political message than blueberry? If you're a Republican, is apple your pie of choice? What then for Democrats? the Greens? Libertarians?

Given the fact that Ann is the literary equivalent of a radio shock jock I imagine she has quite a bit of practice dodging various projectiles.

[MrSuslov]

I suppose that 'ease of access' would be the reason that some are targeted for pies as opposed to others. The pie types would probably be very happy to get one in the general vicinity of G.W. Bush or R.B. Cheney, but they can't. It helps to have an entourage with deadly force authorization, in that respect.

Ann Coulter or Gates, on the other hand, do not have these sorts of things.

[Merey]

Pies are always hilarious, but what happened to the practice of throwing rotten fruit? I really think Ann needs a few rotten tomatoes thrown her way. It's poetic, really.

Oy!
We won't have any discouraging of pie throwing on this thread, buster! It's a proud tradition!

Throwing pies at people is a sign of disrespect without actually hurting anyone (unless the pie is from Auld's Bakery, those things are like bricks) and is less likely to get you into trouble than shooting someone.

[Noah Johnson]

On the one hand, one's right to throw a pie does, in fact, end where the other person's face begins.

On the other hand, Ann Coulter wants people like me put in camps, and nobody has yet died of a pie attack not undertaken by the Joker, so I'm unable to disapprove of this as strongly as I otherwise might. I'm only human.

Also, she just claimed responsibility for sending a letter with a white powdery substance to the NY Times.

[David Bedlam]

I have never seen anyone enjoy getting a pie thrown at them so much.

Well, she does look very hungry. All the time. Starving, practically.

[Grazzt]

For those who wish to see more pieing antics, visit the website of the Entartistes. The Pie's the Limit! (http://www.entartistes.ca/) They have a manifesto and a voting booth where you can vote for your favourite target. Unfortunately the English part of the website is severely lacking, so you'll probably need some French to read the manifesto.

Doesn't that mean she should be shipped off to Guantanamo?

Ann Coulter, felon?

An envelope containing a suspicious white powder showed up in the mailroom at the New York Times last week. We can't tell if she's joking or not -- really, can we ever? -- but Ann Coulter is claiming that she's responsible.

Raw Story ferrets out the news from an item in Women's Wear Daily's Memo Pad blog. Memo Pad's source at the Times said the powder incident makes Coulter's call for the death penalty for Bill Keller just "a little less funny." "I wonder," the source said, "if she considers herself at all responsible when lunatics read her columns and she says that we should be killed."

Memo Pad asked Coulter about the incident. Her response? "So glad to hear that the New York Times got my letter and that your friend at the Times thinks I'm funny. Good luck in journalism and please send me your home address so we can stay in touch, too."

The white powder turned out to be harmless, but perhaps it's time to fight fire with fire anyway. If Coulter thinks that reporters at the Times should be tried for treason -- and she does -- wouldn't it be fair game to say that Coulter herself should be tried for threatening to use WMD or using the U.S. mail to send threatening communications? Those are federal crimes, and it seems to us that Coulter has just admitted committing one.

I was about to post "I'm going to guess that this will be handled quite differently than if you or I had said we were responsible for a terrorist threat" but then I realized that it's not a guess. When this administration has made it policy that right-wing domestic terrorism is not a concern, we know for a fact that they're not going to treat Ann like a terrorist any more than they do the White Aryan Resistance or the Aryan Nations guys currently joining the army to learn how to kill better.

Benjamin Jisrali does have all the answers. On a side note, she wants to put people in camps? *has been Ignoring Ann Coulter*

[Lonewalker]

A boot would be better than a pie. :p

A pie shaped like a boot might be the best! Check Texan bakeries!

Can't she just disappear up her own arse ?

Maybe. But she'd have to remove whatever is lodged there first.

It may be worth losing that cocaine coated gerbil.
