Drag Queen Plays Ann Coulter in D.C.
www.washingtoncitypaper.com - July 17, 2004

"Looking for Ms. Right
Drag performer Bill Pietrucha tries to get into Ann Coulter’s panties.
By Chris Shott

It’s a Wednesday in mid-June and ladies’ night at Remingtons, “Washington, DC’s favorite Country Western Bar.” Or at least it’s something like ladies’ night.

... a tall, leggy blonde offers a deeper thought.. the man behind the drag, Bill Pietrucha, a towering beanpole of a guy sporting a slinky black cocktail frock and 3-inch-high, size-13 heels...

...and declares that “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity,” the gag becomes clear: Pietrucha is mockingly impersonating right-wing political pundit Ann Coulter, the Fox News talking head, author of Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right...

Tonight’s appearance in Coulter drag is basically a dress rehearsal for an act that Pietrucha calls Annie Has Her Gun, a satirical song-and-drag routine that he’s been developing for several months and hopes to soon start performing in local clubs. “It’s a real piss playing such an extreme character,” he says. “She’s already, in a sense, doing a caricature of herself. It can be trying attempting to parody someone whose statements are already so outrageous.”

2. I go back and forth
But most of the time I believe that Ann Coulter doesn't buy one word in three that she says, but she knows that saying those words gets her money. And who gives a crap about the national discourse when you can make money?

7. No way she buys into it.
None of them do, with the possible exception being Hannity. He really is that stupid, IMO.

3. Oh, I bet that this is the easiest makeup job that this guy has ever done
It simply wouldn't take that much alteration to a "towering beanpole of a guy" in order to appear as our dear old Annie.

However that ease of physical transformation is probably more than made up by the psychic transformation he would have to undergo. I would find that to be most difficult, trying to get into the charachter of a whining, screeching, coke addled, jingoistic neo-con. I think I would have to take my brain out for dry-cleaning after each performance.

6. I'll bet Coulter's Adam's apple is bigger than Bill's
When best-selling author Ann Coulter arrived at Charles Coughlin College in Lynchville, Illinois, Ceci Lawrence was shocked." She looked so different from her photos," the 22-year old co-ed marveled." She had these long, bony fingers, and her skin was all stretched and thin like rice paper, and I remember thinking during her speech: she looks like a talking kite." It was then that Ceci and several of her sorority sisters resolved to do something for their distinguished visitor.

"We decided to have a blood drive," Ceci said, "So that Ann could renew the unholy forces which animate her flesh by bathing in the blood of the innocent. Let’s face it—she travels all the time and that’s got to play havoc with any sort of rigorous beauty regimen. After all, the average human body only contains six quarts of blood, so you can imagine how many virgins it would take to fill up even one of those crappy little tubs at the Ramada Inn. I mean, come on—she can’t just keep dropping by Townhall.com and draining Ben Shapiro for a pint—he’s starting to look bleached."
