Here's what Saturday Night Live would be doing if it hadn't been neutered long ago, cowed into the same "fair and balanced" mentality that requires equal mocking of both sides and bland wrist-slappings of the president.

This woman is frightening!! She claims to speak for the 'silent majority', but the silent majority would run from her vicious ravings as fast as possible. This woman is plain and simple a spokes person for the Rabid Right Wing and anyone who calls themselves a true consservative would have NOTHING to do with her.

Funniest thing I've seen. Screw SNL. TV shows come and go, and SNL has been circling the drain for years.

Yeah... I can see how people might miss the satire. I mean, sure... this is obvious for some... but if you ever actually read Coulter and the like... none of this is actually that far away from what she/they endorse.

Neutralizing Coulter

I think it's very smart what Tina Dupuy did with this video. It's very difficult these days to satirize the right, because satire is exaggeration, and the right is presently so exaggerated, that only an approach like Stephen Colbert's or now Tina Dupuy's will work.

Tina takes the right wing content one notch to the right, before the right gets there, which effectively renders the position unusable. For example: The statement "Liberals have made fascism into a bad word. Apparently they can't stand anything that could be construed as patriotic." is brilliant because at the moment, it is becoming obvious that Bush's government is beginning to meet more and more of the criteria of fascism. The right reacts with outrage and denial, but when that position ceases to work, the only place left to go is to start to redefine fascism as something good. But Tina beat them to it. That argument is defused.
