Liberals can't stop attacking her, Ann Coulter says. "I put a book out – and liberals were hysterical. "Actually," she explained "they can't help themselves. They're like my pets!"
In a lengthy interview with the New York Observer's George Gurley, Coulter had verbal darts to hurl at a number of the liberal icons.

Asked "What do liberals want?" she said it's "Apparently the total destruction of the United States. But they get to keep their houses in Amagansett."

Noting that her book, "Godless, The Church of Liberalism," leapt to No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list almost as fast as it hit the book stores, Coulter purred that she owed it all to NBC's Matt Lauer.

Coulter recalled that the "Today" show interview with Lauer was her first appearance dealing with the book, and although Lauer tried desperately to savage her he only managed to create more interest in the book and blockbuster sales.
Said Gurley, Lauer had aimed his arrow at Coulter but it "completely missed the mark. By Sunday, June 25, Ms. Coulter's book was No. 1 on the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list."
Among her targets:
Traitors. "I've been reluctant to name traitors – but I've got one for you: Ron Klink, some former Democrat congressman, is blaming the plot to blow up the Sears Tower on the fact that Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction. If this were World War II circumstances, and we had the virtues of that era, Ron Klink would be lined up and shot. That's a traitor."
Cindy Sheehan. Asked what she thought Sheehan's son, Casey, might wish his mother to do, Coulter said he'd "Wish that she'd shut up? Pipe down?" Casey, she added, "is an amazing American hero – that was the story that was being lost in all of this. As she [Cindy] becomes Dennis Rodman and just makes a spectacle of herself, he was a great American patriot. For one thing, he had already re-enlisted. He didn't have to go; he died on a mission he was volunteering for to help save his buddies – he was incredibly heroic. And I think it's too bad that most people don't know that."
Dan Rather's legacy: "There's only one thing he'll be remembered for: Listening to that nut foaming at the mouth and putting those fake National Guard documents on air. That's it! He's a good example of someone who's a pompous blowhard without much intellectual firepower, who gets pushed into taking positions to suck up to power. I mean, if Dan Rather were in a world by himself, I don't think he could come up with an idea on his own. But it shows you the cultural influence of liberalism. That's just what he goes along with. I'm sure if he lived during the Crusades, he'd be a leading crusader."
Agreeing with Gurley's observation that Rather "had a lot of power for a long time," Ann added "Yes, well, all three networks did. That's why liberals are going crazy now. They're becoming like the Sunni insurgency without the physical courage."
Bill Clinton's legacy: "That he never denied raping Juanita Broaddrick. And Hillary Clinton has the audacity to accuse me of being mean to women."
Hillary Clinton: "The one tip I'll give you about Hillary Clinton's future – because I read the New York Times like a Kremlinologist reading Pravda – and I think they're turning against her, the way they turned against Howard Dean. I think the New York Times is going to stop Hillary from being the candidate"
John Kerry: "Oh, he's so pathetic. I'm so happy to hear he's running again. He and Gore I consider very comedic. With Kerry, no matter what the photo is, he's always trying to look like Mr. Cool, wind surfing or relaxing or golfing, whatever. No matter what pose he's in, no matter what he's wearing, he is always dorkus erectus."
Sean Penn: Asked if she had heard about the vulgar comment Penn made in a New Yorker article about his Ann Coulter doll and how he liked to burn its private parts with a cigarette, Coulter said: "Well, I was not surprised to find out that Sean Penn plays with dolls. I did think they'd be larger and inflatable."
Democrats: Asked if she thinks we have more to fear from Democrats than Iraqi insurgents, Coulter snapped: "Oh yes. Fifth columnists at home. Our boys can handle these savages. But every time there is some question about a mission, when you have Democratic congressmen accusing our boys of being cold-blooded killers, and then we bust up a terror plot in Miami, and Ron Klink is saying it's because Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction!"
The public's reaction to "Godless": "Everywhere I go, people are treating me like a returning war hero. Every place. It's stunning, the people coming out of the woodwork. On e-mail, other 9/11 widows have been tracking me down, because they're really seething with anger at these harpies [the Jersey Girls] for claiming to speak for all widows."
On pulling out of Iraq: "Once we've completed the mission – and the mission's going perfectly well. When you think about the one war liberals belatedly supported, because we were fighting to defend Mother Russia – World War II – you just can't imagine, 'OK, at what point that a number of soldiers have died do we pull –?' No, we leave when we're done."
Were liberals upset about Al-Zarqawi getting blown up? "Yes, well, naturally they were bummed out, because that got al-Qaida mad at us, and we have been getting along so beautifully until then."
Finally, if she were the empress of the United States what would she do in her first 100 days? "Deport all liberals," she said.
