Breaking: Ann Coulter is a Deadhead!

June 26, 2006 01:23 PM

Ann Coulter, the saucy right wing commentator (who NBS adores) has given an interview to, of all news organizations, "Jambands.com."  Apparently Ann is a huge Grateful Dead fan!  Who would have thunk?

The interview, in which Ann recounts her numerous strange trips to Grateful Dead concerts, is not to be missed.  Especially this bit about her college daize:

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.

FANTASTIC.  Ann, we drank grain punch in college too!  We have so much in common! 

Our favorite bit of thie interview, however, pertains to the strange, heretofore undisclosed nexis between the Ann, the Grateful Dead, Linda Tripp, and the Monica Lewinksy investigation.  Ann says:

My collection of Dead tapes, by the way, was the reason I heard one of the Linda Tripp tapes before Ken Starr did. Tripp's lawyer obviously needed to hear the tape before turning it over to the prosecutor, but he only had an old 1950's tape player and couldn't get it to work and Ken Starr wanted the tape the next morning. He was terrified he'd hit the wrong button and erase the evidence. In the wee hours of the morning, it occurred him, a Deadhead himself, that he knew one person in D.C. who definitely had a tape machine. So, at around 2 AM, he called me and asked to come over to use my tape deck.

Priceless.
