CPAC Convention, Washington – Attendees of the Conservative Political Action Conference flooded into a crowded hotel ballroom today to hear one of the conference's most anticipated speakers, political pundit Ann Coulter.

Delivering a comic routine that delighted the audience, Coulter took shots at every Democrat from the Obamas to the late Ted Kennedy.

Coulter said that since President Obama was elected, "For the first time in my life, I'm sometimes not proud of my country," rousing cheers from the crowd. She was alluding to a moment from the 2008 campaign trail when Michelle Obama said, "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."

She joked that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has created more jobs than Mr. Obama. "She's created at least 11 jobs fact-checking at the AP just for the Palin autobiography," she said.

Coulter also took aim at Vice President Joe Biden, mocking his statement that the end of the Iraq war would be one of the Obama adminitration's "greatest achievements."

"Why couldn't Obama have picked someone respectable as his running mate, you know, like John Kerry did?" Coulter asked.

While praising Republicans for their recent wins in states including Massachusetts, she took a shot at the late Democratic Senator, Ted Kennedy. She said new GOP Sen. Scott Brown's election "must have him rolling in his grave, probably spilling his drink."

Coulter, the most requested speaker on the Young America's Foundation speaker circuit, received the loudest cheers for her answer to a question on whether she has ever dated a liberal.

"They weren't liberal for long," she said.

I would love to see Ann Coulter forced to actually take part in a real honest debate with somebody that has their facts straight and isn't intimindated by her potty mouth. Not on FOX, but a real one. I think she'd fall flat on her scrawny face. She is a psychotic, evil, racist harpy.

these 2 women are what is wrong with the republican party. Far right is as bad as far left. Get rid of these two representing the republicans and get rid of Pelosi and Reid. They are the reason that the democrats can't get nothing done. Kick them all out!!!

This guy that dresses up as a woman and likes to be called ann, is giving other drag queens a bad name. This comment is strictly directed toward this offender solely and isn't intended in any way to make fun of other mentally and socially challenged folks.

Jokes are all the republicans can come up with. What does that suggest to you? It means they have no facts to back up the rhetoric, so jesting is the order of the day. How much money did Coulter get for keeping the base consinually out of the loop? Yes, follow the money trail. As a matter of fact, have another party and allow another 'nobody' to make some big bucks off of you (it'll eventually trickle down to you - like last eight years). Oh, and might I suggest to Coulter and every critic of this administration, to look at the economic reports from independent experts. You'll find out the stimulus package has saved and created jobs. You don't have to purposefully lie for financial and political gain. That's what cowards do.

It's true that new jobs were created to keep up with the amount of ruby red lipstick and lip gloss being applied to Sarah's face. Interestingly enough Ann Coulter has the mascara and eye shadow industry just barely keeping up with her production requirements.
