HAUGHTY COULTER

This just in from the esteemed "Needtovent Paparizzi Team" -- yes, it is a totally unretouched telephoto shot of Ann Coulter being driven to the Fox News Studios prior to having her on-camera make-up applied. Of course, we at "Needtovent" endeavor to be just as "fair and balanced" as the next guy, so we have also posted a picture of Ms. Coulter after the make-up artists have worked their magic. Much better -- in fact, I'm told that this horsy face poster has found its way into more than one stable at Ruidoso Downs.

And to think that she once actually said, and I quote: "I am emboldened by my looks to say things Republican men wouldn't."

Maybe she was misquoted. Maybe she really said "embalmed" instead of "emboldened" -- now that makes more sense...
