Ann Coulter, comedy writer

Now in my little dream world, we’d have ACTUAL comedy skits like this on TV instead of the knee-slapping hilarity of the Jon Stewart show and absolutely anything made at the state-run CBC.  CBC’s ratings would rise above .000003 if they hired Ann Coulter to write for them.  It could happen! 

OK and then I woke up.

But Ann Coulter’s column (Part II of last week’s) is funny.  And I would love to see a comedy sketch based on it, even if the comedy actors were one of the many Canadian state-funded troupes of official state comedians on state-run media.

Here’s a snippet (Part II) of what she imagines might have been the conversation between Senator Ted Kennedy and his lawyer back in 1969:

Lawyer: Let’s get back to the night of the accident. Why didn’t you call the police?

Teddy: Stop nagging me! Mary Jo was driving. I wasn’t even in the car.

Lawyer: No, Teddy. People saw you leave the party together.

Teddy: I had spurned her sexual advances and the poor girl was distraught. That’s probably why she drove off the bridge.

Lawyer: A police officer saw you behind the driver’s wheel speeding toward the bridge with a blonde in the passenger seat shortly before the accident.

Teddy: I asked Mary Jo to take the wheel after realizing I was too drunk to drive.

Lawyer: Now I know you’re lying.

Teddy: How would that cop like a new NASA facility named after him?
