(CNN) - Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter’s 15-minute address at CPAC played more like a stand-up comedy act than a political speech.
Coulter delivered line after line of jabs at President Obama, the Democratic Party and the media – each met with roaring laughter from the crowd.
The commentator – who is no stranger to controversy – first went after MSNBC, calling the hosts the “alternative prom crowd.”
Pointing to recent comparisons of Obama to Jesus and Abraham Lincoln, Coulter said the media has turned from being the people’s watchdog to the “government guard dog.”
“Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t see Lincoln text messaging with Scarlet Johansson … and I forget, how many times did Lincoln vote present?” she said, to much applause.
Coulter likened members of the media and Democrats to parents “gushing” over a newborn baby.
“Having pulled off their rather mediocre 53 percent to 46 percent victory, liberals can’t stop boasting about their new baby boy,” she said.
She said it was interesting that Obama’s “adorers” in the media compare him to Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, because, “apparently they can’t think of a Democratic president worthy of being compared to.”
“If [Obama] thinks people wanted change in 2009, wait until 2012,” she said.
Coulter has a long history of making controversial comments about politicians. Following her appearance at the 2007 CPAC, multiple companies asked to pull their ads from her Web site after she used what some observers called an anti-gay slur to describe then-Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.
She was also at odds with Sen. John McCain during the campaign season, saying "John McCain is not only bad for Republicanism, which he definitely is - he is bad for the country."

Ann only got 15 minutes? I guess that's all she's used to.
If Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are the best Conservative
Republicans have to offer they are in more trouble than any of
the top-runners can get them out of.
clueless
If Republicans continue to embrace the likes of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh I can rest easy that they won't win another presidency in my lifetime.
JACK: Good one!
Keep it up, conservatives. Keep paying attention to whack-jobs like Ann Coulter, and complete the job of making yourselves totally and 100% completely irrelevant.
I guess the wiping that McCain and Palin took obviously taught you nothing.
She is such a sweety!

Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh...reasons the Republican party continues to pull their own plug. It's kind of sad.
Wow. This crowd is scary. Ann Coulter is the meanest / nastiest woman alive. I feel bad for her...it can't be easy being her.
I tend to vote republican and I cringe at the thought to the party embracing this woman. She is just too over-the-top and out there.
I bet she doesn't have a single black or hispanic friend. She is really scary, like what the consort of satan would be..
what a hideous and monstrous person she is...she's just as bad as that pig Rush Limbaugh
OK, I finally figured out the slogan for the "New Republicans" as they start their 4-year trek to the 2012 presidential campaign - "The Crazier, The Better".
This is all the Republicans could come up with??....desperation has definately set-in.
The best that can be said about Obama, is that he will prove once and for all – Reagan was right.
...and this is the way we change the GOP? We get our femme fatale out there doing jokes...er whatever....
I've lost all respect for Ann. She just doesn't get why she's on that downward slope.
Add to the crazy things they're saying at this convention, including Obama isn't a natural born citizen, the fact that unofficial party head Rush is out there spreading his hate and Hannity has a pole on how his followers want to start the "revolution," I'm seriously wondering where the Republican Party went. Wherever that may be, they either need to take the party back or start another one. I wound up on a site last night that I accessed through a CHURCH site called Paliban (Palin +Taliban). The party has turned into a fringe group and they're getting dangerous (see previous TN church killings.)
Rush worshiper
Where was Ann when we needed a cheap mascot at our local dog show?
This "thing" is foul. That's as nice a comment as you can make about Coulter. And Ann, I don't know who took you to the prom but all of America feels bad for her.
Coulter...and Limbaugh are comedians!
