Funny, it's starting to look like being a screeching Reich Wing harpy doesn't come with the same set of blanket immunities and free passes that it used to. Not only do both Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter share a colorist and perhaps a Clydesdale or two in their respective family trees, now they have something even more exciting in common. They're both in deep shit with the law!
First, from the Palm Beach Post, where it appears someone on the editorial board is getting a little fed up with Ann Coulter's continued efforts to stall the investigation into her attempt to vote in the wrong precinct earlier this year:
Address remains mystery
In a Nov. 2 letter to the state attorney's office, Elections Supervisor Arthur Anderson said Coulter and her attorney have not been forthcoming about where she really lives.
Anderson wrote to State Attorney Barry Krischer:
Indeed, her attorney has even refused to provide my office with any form of written documentation, and has only responded by having Ms. Coulter's address protected from public information.
Here's the part that will really hack you off:
Ms. Coulter registered in our office on October 10, 2006, as a participant in the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP).
OK. Now I'm steamed.
The Address Confidentiality Program, passed by the legislature last year, is designed to keep private the addresses of FBI agents, police officers, correction workers and victims of domestic violence.
And certain very, very special little girls named Ann who always get what they want.
But not for long.
Krischer spokesman Mike Edmondson said the state attorney's office can't do anything about the voting fraud thing until law enforcement investigates.
Krischer has asked Anderson to hand things over to Palm Beach police.
Whoo-hoooo!! Hey, Ann, I saw a Jimmy Choo pump earlier this fall that would accessorize PERFECTLY with a pair of handcuffs. I bet we can still find a pair of 11's somewhere. You down? I can look on line if you don't want to have to deal with the hassle at the mall. No, really! I don't mind! Are you sure? Oh, right, right! I'm sorry. 10 and a halfs, riiiiiight. I don't think Jimmy Choo makes half-sizes, honey. (You know, I bet you wouldn't be so mean if you'd just go ahead and get the shoes that fit. You're gonna get bone spurs or something.) Is it the money, Ann? I know your last book didn't sell as well as you'd hoped. And all those legal fees have got to be racking up. You want me to get you the shoes for your birthday in December? What are you turning this year, 72? But anyway, downward to Laura Ingraham, or as I like to call her, It's Not Just a Radio Show, It's A Disorder™. Here's a woman who is so eager to snatch the Reich Wing Blonde Princess of Power tiara from Ann Coulter's head that her fingers twitch in her sleep. She who believes that '24' is real, dammit, and that Jack Bauer works for Homeland Security. She who spent six days in Iraq and immediately anointed herself an authority on Middle Eastern affairs, accusing the real journalists in Iraq of being cowards and using her experiences to remind American voters how glad we should be that we're not being met at the polls by snipers, for god's sake! Or at least, that's what she was saying today to justify her election day shenanegans, remember them? In case you need a refresher, let's go to Media Matters:
Ingraham encourages listeners to jam phone lines of Democratic voter assistance hotline
As the weblog Firedoglake first noted,
HOLLAAAAAAAAA!!! (ahem)
during the November 7 edition of her nationally syndicated talk radio show, Laura Ingraham urged listeners to jam the phone lines of 1-888-DEM-VOTE, a voter assistance hotline sponsored by the Democratic Party. Ingraham stated: "I want you to call it and I want you tell us what you get when you call 1-888-DEM-VOTE. They're on top of all of the shenanigans at the polling stations. One problem: you can't get through." Minutes later, while talking with a listener who called the hotline, Ingraham said: "Let's keep 'dem' lines ringing." Ingraham, a frequent Fox News contributor, is scheduled to appear on the November 7 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto.
Yup. Brownshirted trollop.
Gavin? Don't you have something you want to share with the class?
Ingraham’s performance was particularly Republican in that, once her flying radio monkeys had jammed the line, she went all cackly at the recorded ‘please stay on the line’ messages, claiming that the Democrats couldn’t even set up a hotline properly.
Here’s Senator Pat Leahy calling for a federal investigation of Ingraham’s phone-jamming stunt (audio clip).
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Enjoy it, Laura, this may be the only time in your life that a sitting US Senator ever addresses you by name except to say, "Your money's on the dresser, Blondie."
What's with these two? They raise all kinds of (un)holy hell about the state of things in this country, then show nothing but contempt for the voting process, which is, of course, the fundamental essence of our democracy.
Typical.

zed!
Evening TRex
so zed the therapod!
Nice 0 you have there, Kirk ;)
Hey, Hotflash! Hey, Kirk!
You guys want I should make us some coffee or something to nosh on?
TRex, that video is Garbage!
Pay attention to which jail Ann gets to visit. It could settle a few bets.
I don’t understand the problem with that address confidentiality program. It should be available to everybody. I’d sign up for it. I’m fine with my address (or Coulter’s) being accessible to a legitimate law enforcement investigation but I certainly don’t think anyone should be forced to make their address public.
Wow TRex - sounds yummy!
Not to be rude, but - how small are the smallest coffee mugs in a 60 foot therapod’s house?
And HotFlash - I’m glad you like my 0 - but I can’t take credit.
A few days ago I saw a zed winner here.
She was fast.
I’ve just prayed for what she was having….
You’re in excellent form tonight, TRex. I was also greatly amused by Gavin’s “flying radio monkeys.” Somebody get me a bucket of water, methinks Laura’s broom is on fire…
Not only those two gals, but little Nancy Grace is in trouble too. The family of the woman who committed suicide after Nancy grilled her on air is bringing suit against her. They blame Nancy for the suicide. Heard it on Keith O tonight.
That poll…
Do you think it harms the Democrats that Nancy Pelosi backed John Murtha for majority leader?
Yes 10%
No 90%
Apologies for EPUing myself, but I think this one has some potential as comic relief from the other comic relief.
EvilDrPuma @ 138
Lindy @ 14
I’m surprised that embarrassment of a poll is still up.
Why, I think it must be time to start waving around the NUCLEAR OPTION!!
Let’s get that back on the table for the Senate. I think it’s a MARVELOUS idea!!
Great snark, TRex. Even better than usual :)
Gosh, I think I figured Ann’s address when the voting story broke, and it wasn’t hard to piece together. But as much as I despise her, I’d never use it, or share it. I just thought it odd that it was so accessible.
The only real justice here is if they are both put in the same cell… for a long time. :)
TRex @ 17
And if that doesn’t work, Mitch can take a cue from the Kids in the Hall and hold his breath until he turns gay.
(…assuming he isn’t already. You just can’t tell with Republicans any more.)

No…I’m thinking “Celebrity Deathmatch.”
Mike Johnson @ 19
Maybe it’s how she picks up whatever it is that gets her off.

That would mean one of the two would have a chance of surviving…. :)

But I want that woman charged and convicted for her crimes against Americans.
I love “[b]rownshirted trollop.” Remember that trollop is the fem. for troll.
Mellifluous @ 28
Thank you so much for loving that. It made me laugh when I typed it.
I’m starting my Christmas shopping in earnest now.
I thought I’d knit a scarf for Ned the Fighting Koi, I’m pretty sure I have time (I’m a slow knitter). What colour do you think he’d like? I have a gift for you, too, TRexm but it’s a surprise.
I’m getting a lovely Kevlar camisole and a case of butane barbecue lighters, for applying to feet, for Mme Speaker. Any ideas on what to get Dr. Dean?
Mellifluous @ 27
Mellifluous, thanks for the teaching!
I love that also.
My absolute fave is:

Happy Birthday Dr. Howard Dean
How stupid is Ingraham? (Yeah, it’s a rhetorical question) Aren’t there Repubs in jail for jamming Democratic phone lines in New Hampshire in 2002? Knowing that, what sort of idjit would think they could get away with doing the same thing this year? Of course, I don’t think she’d be worried, she’d just expect Jack Bauer to break her out of jail.
A paperweight that says, “President Dean”.
I think Ned TFK would like a lovely blue scarf since he himself is a kind of orange color.
Persiflage @ 35
Lessee, Laura Ingraham lives in a fictional world. Laura Ingraham thinks a fictional TV series is somehow real life. Laura Ingraham thinks a fictional character would break her out of a real jail.
Got it. Thanks. :)
SP (at work) @ 38
Who the hell do you think you are, Operation Rescue? Let the law worry about Ann Coulter’s home address.
TRex @ 36
Blue it is. Should I make matching mittens or would that be insulting? I’ve never knitted anything for a koi before and I don’t want to pas fauxly.
Darn, I was going to make Ned Koi a scarf; I worry that he really won’t like the mittens. thumbs.
Ga @ 42
Finnems?
Hehe. Can we send her to LA where the LAPD can torture her until she agrees to cooperate? …now that we’ve established that officials there think that it’s prudent policy to inflict extreme pain as a means of encouraging citizens to comply with just this type of routine administrative request. I know in Florida they only torture African Americans for this type of non-cooperation, but I don’t think they’re quite as discerning in the city of angels.
SP (at work) @ 38
another 6.0, TRex (Olympic judging scale). Where’s Tonya when you need her?
Hey Trex! good stuff!!!
Rough week. Glad you posted a Garbage video. One of THEE best concerts ever. Posted a personal best: 13 crowd surf sessions with only 2 drops.
Ga @ 42
That what I thought, but maybe like socks, you know, for his fins? Or maybe a tail cozy. But seriously, a koi can use more than one scarf. Knit on!
montag @ 43
No sox.
The think that makes me so pissed is that she is hiding behind laws were writen to protect women who need protective orders from abuse. As someone who survived knowing that the 16 page protective order was not going to protect me from much, state and county government did have to comply with protecting my personal information.
The idea that skank is using the very laws that so many women lost their lives prior the laws enactment just rips me.
To this day when the court refused to renew the protective order, a female judge told me, “Ya just have to get used to your fear”.
punaise @ 45
Laura, Ann, the lead pipe of justice is a-Tonya.
Oh please…. NO not Tonya….. you would think that after having her live just down the road from me in Oregon, her court case was just across the street from the building I worked in and she skated at the mall that two of my teenagers worked at….. NO please …. shudder…..
speaking of the law - check out these picks of Ashcroft with naked children:

his portriat was “unveiled” today.
Well, never mind getting Ned Koi clothes–kids want toys. I was going to get him a Little Mermaid, but then I remembered the old cartoon of the marooned sailor, confronted with the choice between a regular mermaid, and a reversed one (fish top half/human bottom half), and i thought maybe he wouldn’t like to kiss a human face. Maybe not a toy. Scarf afterall.

They better put that sucker high on the wall, or it’s going to end up plastered with arcane symbols Dan Brown never considered.
SP-
THAT WAS NOT COOL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE REVEAL THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF OUR IDEOLOGICAL OPPONENTS TO THE PUBLIC. THAT’S A MALKKKIN-STYLE TACTIC AND WE DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES STOOP THAT LOW.
You need to send that information to the Florida Board of Elections where it belongs.

Whispered from the Chimp’s mouth to Laura Ingraham’s and Ann Coulter’s ears: A Flying Monkey is your friend. Just lie like I do and ya’ll be fine. Now, hows about some monkey business?
At which point these impressionable wenches belt out a chorus of “Swoon River”. Oh my!

What’s a zed?
Good one tonight, TRex! Thanks for the laugh.
zeds dead, baby, zeds dead.

That’s “Zeddy’s dead” for the Curtis Mayfield fans….
Eureka Springs, AR @ 60
so’s freddy.
HotFlash @ 56
oops - jargon apology.
zed is the British term for zero.
sorry my comment was nought clear…
i thought Zed was the letter Z.
I thought Zed was Ned Koi’s dad.
Kirk is in fine form tonight … I’m still smarting over Dewars!
Ned TFK says he wants scarves in every color. Such a clothes horse, that fish.
well he does have quite a role model T!
I thought zed was a ‘z’ and naught is a zero.
“A Zed and Two Naughts” was a Peter Greenaway film about a zoo.
Ahhh, beautiful snark !

They’d already have it, TRex, this info is from the (public) tax roles. It was mentioned on BradBlog and a bunch of other places, too. If you google it you come up with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Public Access System first.
Besides, the problem is that this is not the address on her voter registration.
But I agree, it’s not cool. I am surprised that addresses are freely available.
kirk murphy @ 61
Zed is the last letter of the alphbet here (Canada) and in Britain, too, I thought.
“The only real justice here is if they are both put in the same cell… for a long time.”
Which raises the question: who would be on the bottom bunk?
I have the little kangaroo from the Zeds dead scene in Pulp Fiction. He now guards iris bulbs from armadillos.
Underwater scarves, hmmm latex or neoprene wont drape well. Perhaps a Moschino nylon mesh (designer fish net of course).
Ga @ 62
TRex @ 66
You are both absolutely correct.
Apologies for my flight into lake-referential zilliness. :)
oh, crap!
PReview is my friend.

Zed and Two Naughts is Greenaway’s film essay about putrefaction–to put us back on the topic TRex so charmingly presented to us.
Ga @ 74
It was two and a half hours that I will never get back.
It was a date.
The things we do for love.
Ga @ 74
If only someone had presented it to me as a film essay on putrefaction before I saw it, I could have saved myself two hours of complete confusion.
TRex @ 75
Hope your date at least gave you a Jurassic peck…
All of you knitting little scarfs, just keep on doing what you are doing. We Grandmas know what fighting koi want — they want karate outfits, and a work out video with that kick boxer guy. Now that is something he/she can really use.
Althought, the tail cozy is a real nifty idea for those cold water nights.
Not even.
At the end of the night, he turned his face when I tried to kiss him and told me I wasn’t his physical type. If I recall correctly, I was in bed weeping and reading Jane Austen for a week.
I wouldn’t go back to being 21 for anything. My feelings were so easily smashed.
GrandmaJ, i am knitting the mermaid.
merboy.
TRex @ 79
We love you, TRex!
Within a year and a half, I was the lead singer of one of the hottest bands in Athens and a certified heart-throb. Now the man I went on that date with is big and fat.
I had my revenge. A hundred times over.
It’s one of my specialties.

I have, I do and will continue to do so.

You too, kirk, you cutie.
TRex @ 86
Thank you…. right now I am planning my vacation for next spring to Tuscany. Since it is an off year, I can use my vacation for a real vacation! Stop and smell the flows, get up early and see the sunrise, go out the the resort and have dinner on the patio and watch the sunset.
This year I got what I wanted for my birthday… A Democratic win!
I got what I wanted, too.
Gravitas.
G’Nite TRex, have to get up early and pick up my kid at the auto repair place and drive him to work. Even when they grow up, ya never stop being a Mom.
Have a nice weekend. Will catch up with ya later.
katymine @ 90
Good night.
It looks like everyone left for the nite… sleep well TRex.
Faint NYT praise for Baker and the ISG.
Looks like another boat anchor for more bags of cash to me.
TRex @ 87
Thanks TRex :)
I’m so glad you and Katymine enjoy and embrace life - wishing you both long, embrace-filled, and happy lives.
And wishing for more to join you!

Can’t shake my inner shrink tonight…
So much of what I hear on freeper/fundie radio resonates with dysphoric emotions: fear, resentment, hate.
Y’all here at the lake - and the folks I know in direct action forest defense - are “happy warriors” in the best sense of the word.
As our spirit of overt play and pleasure again grows in the land, I hope the folks who once shut the door on their desires [’til the need erupted in freeper rage] come out to play and enjoy their bodies.
The fight won’t be easy.
But when they’re free, the hate preachers will never control their pleasures.
What fun for them…..
And for us!
katymine @ 84
Kirk, I’m doing everything I can to get more men to enjoy their bodies. Mine, too. They just won’t listen.
sleep well blessed Therapod, Katymine, and firepups….

I never knew enough to view my personal life as a form of advocacy.

TeddySanFran, I appreciate your enlightened views!
[my interest in this matter is entirely objective, of course…]
Way back in the old days of 2003, Howard Dean put out a very simple plan: Just one person can make a difference.
A few hours ago I finished my first full performance since leaving the hospital on Oct 4. For a while there I didn’t think I was gonna make it. But I’m back.
My view from the street is that folks are starting to realize that the situation has changed for the better. What I am seeing is identical with the days after Clinton was elected for the first time: Relief.
Although we meet here, this whole victory happened because individuals made a difference.
You individuals who are taking this country back, you helped put the smiles of relief on the faces of my audience today.
There’s Hope on the street. You did good. All of you.
