Just a Gwai Lo fun within prescribed limits [?]

Michael Shaw on Ann Coulter's photo on TIME magazine (which Joey parodizes beautifully): “the picture of Ms. Coulter seems diagnostic. What you get is someone endlessly preoccupied with sexual and physical violence, going from riff to sadistic riff tossing off one-liners dedicated to retribution and revenge. You have someone with a history of charming and seducing men, but who seems to disavow significant emotional attachments with men and often displays flashes of hatred in response to male or female sexuality. You have someone almost pathologically opposed to revealing any personal information, especially if it conveys humanity, femininity or compassion of any kind. You have a person who insists her only professional motivation is personal amusement or the amusement of her friends. Finally, you have someone hopelessly addicted to nicotine who's greatest fear is being found irrelevant.”

Ann Coulter: “[Al] Gore advisers cooed that 'Gray [Davis] would certainly be one of those names that would have to be in the mix.' Both were said to be 'cautious, moderate 'New Democrats.'' Both were veterans, after a fashion, of Vietnam, which would make a Gore-Davis presidential ticket the only compelling argument yet in favor of friendly fire.”

That crosses the line. Even for Coulter.
