  What if Ann Coulter Gave A Speech...
...and someone asked her something really gross?

So there was she, giving a talk at the LBJ Library at UT-Austin, and the q-and-a period rolled around—Ann had been casting aspersions on gay marriage—and this happened:

<<"You say that you believe in the sanctity of marriage," said Ajai Raj, an English sophomore. "How do you feel about marriages where the man does nothing but fuck his wife up the ass?">>

Mr. Raj explains himself here.

I know I should be outraged about this, but this remark is just so over the top, there's something wonderfully subversive about it, in a scatological, South Park-kind of way.

Besides, Raj's explanation shows more intelligence than one might at first credit him.

"Standing in line awaiting my turn," he writes, "I watched her send a moderate Republican, who had questioned the sheer incendiary magnitude of her rhetoric, walk away in tears when she tore him apart for daring to question her."

So then Raj asked his question.

"The crowd," Raj says, "fell silent."

I'll bet.

"Did I give a shit?" he continues. "No. If I had a message, it's that the whole thing was a joke—hell, our whole political scene today is a fucking joke."

Raj then exited, making some "masturbatory gestures" on the way.

Raj may be crude, but he's got a point. The Democrats are pathetic, the Republicans are run by people who think all the species of the world disembarked from a wooden boat, our soldiers are dying almost daily in a war that was based on a mistake—oops!—and the weird thing is, no one seems to care very much.

I can understand Mr. Raj's frustration.

The funny/sad thing is, as Raj was leaving, campus police slammed him against a door, locked him in handcuffs, and dragged him off.

"I tried to ask them what for," Raj says. "Last time I checked, saying 'fuck her in the ass' at a college isn't a crime."

You know, for a closer, you just can't top that....
