The New York Times this weekend profiles two female conservative commentators at very different points in their careers: crazy Upper East Side islamophobic bloggerPamela Geller, and crazy Ann Coulter. What can aspiring female right-wing blowhards learn from their stories?
According to the Times, Ann Coulter's star has waned as she's been "outflanked" by even wackier Tea Party people. So she's rebranding herself as sort of a campy gay conservative icon. This is a promising strategy, as she'll attract the dual outrage-beams of Republicans who hate gays and Liberals who hate gay Republicans.
Then there's Pamela Geller, the Manhattan socialite behind the right-wing blog Atlas Shrugs, and the leading force behind the "Ground Zero Mosque" outrage. She's a relative new-comer, but definitely appears poised to be the crazier Ann Coulter today's right-wingers demand.

And Coulter showed up at last month's Homocon party for gay republicans looking "awfully... game," according to the Times
"Wearing a black lace-up cocktail dress and high black heels, she posed for a photograph with the founder of Boy Butter, a maker of sex lubricants."
