Ted Rall Announces Rent Is Due (And That He Might Sue Ann Coulter)

Yeahhhh...

Coulter reportedly said Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.: "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times have made submissions."

...

Rall announced on his blog that he would look into taking legal action against Coulter if readers of his blog wanted him to -- and if they pledged the $6,000 needed to draft and file a lawsuit in New York.

"If enough 'yes' votes come in with enough serious pledges, I'll see Ann in court," wrote Rall. "If not, well, chalk up another victory for the Right."

Rall said people were voting roughly 3-1 in favor of suing. And he told E&P Monday that pledges are coming in fast. "If pledges continue to come in at the present rate, I'll have the $6,000 available by tonight," Rall said. "A lot of people are fed up with how Coulter has turned slandering liberals into a cottage industry and want to see her held to account. I'm actually fairly overwhelmed by the response -- more than 300 pledges, many in the $20 to $100 range."

Uh-huh. Yeah. Jokes are now considered libelous. Completely unrelated, but Circuit City is now offering a 50" widescreen plasma HDTV for, oh, around $5,999.99.

What an f'n' chump.

In related news, if you send me $6,000 now, I vow to put Ted Rall in a cute sundress, take him out dancin', and make him do stuff to three or twenty of my closest male friends. Then I'll dump him and break-back his widdle bleeding heart.

Thanks to Oregon Muse.

Seriously... Should I bend Ted Rall over and do him? Not in a gay way, mind you, but like a Viking. I think it's about time I made him pay for his libelous comments about Ann Coulter.

I'm not happy about doing this, you understand. But I figure he's two-thirds woman anyhow, so at worst it would be marginally gay, no more gay than watching American Idol.
