Sign of Times for Right Wing Press: Ann Coulter Channels Mr. Blackwell

If you were looking forward to the good old days of Dem bashing from the right wing press, think again. The Age of Obama has begun, and it's starting to look like the all-stars of the Clinton and Bush eras have been cowed by the broad support that the President Elect enjoys.

Exhibit A: Poison penned pundit Ann Coulter, known for making "faggot" jokes about John Edwards and trashing 9/11 widows, takes aim at Michelle Obama in her new book. After all of the ink that has been spilled thus far, depicting her as Eldridge Cleaver with a vagina, all Coulter can manage is a fashion critique:

"Her obvious imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."

What next, a Rush Limbaugh tome deconstructing the cinematography of Obama's campaign ads? Michelle Malkin marking up grammatical errors in Obama's speeches with red pen? Michael Savage complaining about Harry Reid's improper use of parliamentary procedure? What is this world coming to?

I don't know if I want to live in that world, or if I could even stay awake in it. I think that Democrats, being the compassionate types, should fund a new set of balls for the right-wing media. Hell, they've got more than they can handle.
