ANN COULTER, DEADHEAD

Well, maybe that explains her personality. She insists in this interview with Jambands.com that she never did drugs at any of the dozens of Dead shows she attended over the years -- but maybe she just thinks she never did drugs. Maybe somebody dosed her chardonnay with some reject hallucinogen from a particularly bad batch, and the result is the cackling character assassination addict we know today.

By the way, she lists a lot of fellow Deadheads of her political persuasion, and they sound just utterly charming:

Jim Moody, MIT grad and libertarian attorney (and Linda Tripp's lawyer); Gary Lawson, former Scalia clerk.... I believe the great New York subway vigilante Bernie Goetz was a Deadhead.

And the first one she mentions is

Peter Flaherty, President, National Legal And Policy Center

Fun fact about Peter: he once issued a press release denouncing Lehman Brothers for apologizing for participating in the slave trade. I'm not joking. He thought that was a bad thing to do. So much for the spiritual power of the Dead. (Sorry, they're OK, but I've never been a real fan.)
