Ann Coulter gives us plenty of reasons to love her. Her biting, sardonic, and hilarious commentary never ceases to entertain and inform her fans and, even better, it infuriates her critics to a point of rage that turns them into imbecilic, babbling idiots. (Yes, I'm looking at you, "Cornell" grad Keith Olbermann.)
Late Sunday night, Coulter delighted once again by taking to Twitter to mock Michelle Obama's #BringBackOurGirls hashtag selfie. Coulter's version even includes the sanctimonious pouty face FLOTUS sported:

In only ten hours the Coulter tweet had been "favorited" over 1,000 times and had nearly as many retweets. Compare Coulter's parody with the FLOTUS original.
Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to #BringBackOurGirls. -mo pic.twitter.com/glDKDotJRt

Mrs. Obama certainly has a nicer backdrop, given that she is sitting in a beautifully ordained room in the White House. And there appears to be professional lighting for her "spontaneous" selfie moment.
But I give the edge to Coulter on this one because unlike the bandwagon-jumping tweet from the first lady, Coulter's tweet is chockfull of something lacking in the staged pic from the White House: originality.
