Ann Coulter: Deadhead

It's hard to believe but Ann Coulter love the Grateful Dead. By her rough count she's been to 67 shows all of them without consuming any drugs.

When talking about Deadheads there always comes a point when the hippy stuff gets too descriptive:

I fondly remember seeing the Dead when I was at Cornell. It was the day of the fabulous Fiji Island party on the driveway “island” of the Phi Gamma Delta House. We'd cover ourselves in purple Crisco and drink purple Kool-Aid mixed with grain alcohol and dance on the front yard. Wait – I think got the order reversed there: We'd drink purple Kool-Aid mixed with grain alcohol and then cover ourselves in purple Crisco – then the dancing. You probably had to be there to grasp how utterly fantastic this was.

Seriously, the interview makes Coulter sound like a normal person. So her verbal recklessness is her designed marketing schtick. Sad for conservatives but good for Ann's bank account.
