Perfected: The Ann Coulter Song
After seeing that she had been fooled on April Fools Day (see below), I was reminded again that the ever gracious Ann Coulter only wants for each of us to be like her ... perfected. Here's a tribute from Barely Political to that search for perfection, featuring singer/songwriter Leah Kaufmann, who was also the voice behind "I Got a Crush on Obama." (And yes, for those of you who saw this a long time ago, I'm painfully behind the times, but I still think it's great.)
Ann Coulter fell for a fake April Fools' Day article by Car and Driver that claimed President Obama ordered GM and Chrysler to cease their participation in NASCAR because it is an "unnecessary expenditure."
