Conservative author and frequent talk-show guest was also fined and ordered to undergo sensitivity training.

WASHINGTON — The White House has suspended Republican pundit Ann Coulter today for her disparaging remarks on ethnicities such as Asians and Arabs in her latest book.

In Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, Coulter characterizes Asians as “savage Oriental beasts” and Arabs as smelly. Most media outlets have ignored these potentially controversial portions of the book, but the President himself came forward to demand an apology from Ms. Coulter and to issue the suspension from cable-news for one month.

“Coulter’s observations of Asians and Arabs were unfortunate,” a White House source said. “We take this issue very seriously at the GOP. We will not tolerate bigots in our ranks.”

Coulter is likely to appeal the fine of $20,000 and the monthlong suspention from television, but the recently-formed GOP Racial Sensitivity Department will probably uphold their original decision.

After Treason’s release, several conservative pundits were called together in a meeting to discuss what action should be taken with Coulter. The consensus was to give her another chance.

Sensitivity training for Coulter will begin next week, and will be televised exclusively on FOX News.
