“AND SO, EVEN IF YOU FOLKS DON’T HAVE TIME TO WRITE YOUR SENIOR THESIS ON THE “EXCESSES OF THE MODERN MARKET FUNDAMENTALISTS,” I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU EMAIL A LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES.”

“MARX MY WORDS, NOT ONLY WILL THIS ELEVENTH HOUR CONVERSION PROVIDE ACCORDING TO MY NEEDS, BUT IF ELECTED, THE DICTUM ‘FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY’  WILL CLEARLY LOWER EXPECTATIONS FOR MY PRESIDENCY.”

Lucifer, a/k/a “The Devil,” has filed a lawsuit¬†accusing right-wing bomb-thrower Ann Coulter of not only plagiarizing his published works, but of stealing his very¬†identity.

In a 666-page federal complaint filed in the District of Sodom and Gomorrah (the Southern District of New York), Lucifer alleges that Ms. Coulter has misappropriated all of his core ideas, including evil, malice, indiscriminate attacks on innocents, and just acting like a damn fool.

Lucifer’s attorney, Alan Dershowitz, addressing the press on the Courthouse steps, also asserted that Coulter stole¬†his client’s identity, as evidenced by Coulter’s¬†set of horns under her right-wing blonde wig,¬†a pair of balls that would make the GOP elephant proud, and her Adam’s apple (the original used by the Devil in the Garden of Eden).

The complaint also charges that Coulter¬†used¬†Lucifer’s¬†Mastercard to run up a huge bill for pitchforks.

The allegations of¬†Coulter’s¬†plagiarism first surfaced¬†in The Devil’s wholly-owned newspaper, The New York Post, which is run by Lucifer’s direct descendant, Rupert Murdoch.

Coulter, an author and attorney, who once apprenticed for the law firm featured in the Al Pacino movie, The Devil’s Advocate,¬†has denied all charges of impropriety, insisting that her ideas to¬†slander and ruin the lives of¬†decent people are all her own, and come straight from her soul.¬†

She also emphasized that this is not the first time that Lucifer has made such charges, having brought similar claims against Joe McCarthy, Tom DeLay, and Justices Scalia and Thomas.
