Having been upstaged in 2008 by The View's Elizabeth Hasselbeck as the crazy conservative that likes to say stupid things about Democrats, Ann Coulter is striking early and hoping to regain her rightful place in 2009. What better a target than the new incoming first lady, Michelle Obama.

In Coulter's new book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America, she attacks Michelle Obama's wardrobe. She notes:

"Her obvious imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."

Cindy McCain, whose husband John failed to win the presidency this past November, does however get Coulter's seal of approval. I can't say this is all that surprising. Coulter says that Cindy "Dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history."

In the book, which drops in bookstores this week, Coulter also snidely refers to Michelle Obama as a "saint" and "Mother Teresa", and suggests that her public service career "advanced in lockstep with the political advancement of her husband." She also refers to president-elect Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama", and claims that the media "literally" wanted to have sex with him during the presidential campaign.
