Ann Coulter's new book, If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans is ready for sale. She's promoting the book everywhere and with that you get the usual dose of the bombastic blonde and her outrageous statements. Think it will be any different this time? Don't bet on it. This is Ann Coulter after all. She's out there and she loves every single minute of it.

In an interview with the New York Observer, Ann Coulter left this choice quote, which the Observer highlighted as "On women:" "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."

She adds, "It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and 'We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'"
She comes loaded with plenty more: "President George W. Bush is evidently the first mentally retarded person to get a Harvard M.B.A., graduate from the U.S. Air Force Flight School, be elected governor of Texas and then be elected President of the United States twice. I guess this is what they call 'mainstreaming."

The self-appointed censors at Media Matters want her silenced. They challenged NBC to explain why it "continues to provide Coulter with an open forum." The group's action was prompted by "Today's" Monday interview of Coulter by Meredith Viera — after Matt Lauer, Brian Williams and Jay Leno all criticized Coulter's 9/11 widow comments.
Said an NBC exec: "Regardless of what you think of Ann Coulter, she's a compelling interview." Indeed.
