Dying Laughing

Funny funny gal, that Ann Coulter, doncha think? You heard her joke today, right? Maybe you haven't yet, so I'll share it with you:

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, speaking at a traditionally black college, joked that Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned.

Coulter had told the Philander Smith College audience Thursday that more conservative justices were needed on the Supreme Court to change the current law on abortion. Stevens is one of the court's most liberal members.

``We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee,'' Coulter said. ``That's just a joke, for you in the media.'' (CNN News)

Yeah, you in the media, don't get her wrong. She doesn't mean a word of it. She's a "right to lifer" isn't she? She couldn't possibly want to murder someone, in order to save all those potential supreme court justices in utero, could she?

Would someone please tell this screaming meemie that "jokes" are generally understood to be funny?
