Faux "Joke" Should Get Coulter Arrested, IMO

For threatening a Supreme Court Justice.

I fail to find this thigh-slappingly funny, in much the same way that others might fail to find it funny when people joke about killing presidents, or popping off, say, half of the legislative branch of our government.

So, Ann Coulter engages in more "unhinged" speech by suggesting that Justice John Paul Stevens ought to be killed:
"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."
Of course! How could I have missed that? Just a joke!
Although, perhaps, Ann could explain just what was supposed to be humorous about it. Perhaps I'm just dense, but assassinations have never been very funny matters in my experience. Is this a new hip thing?
