A phrase I chose out of modesty. For you though, I'll spell it out: "sleeps-around"

I find it odd that you say you are concerned about the virtue of modesty, when what you said about Miss Coulter if false is slander, and if you know it to be true is detraction, both very grave sins.

"I find it odd that you say you are concerned about the virtue of modesty, when what you said about Miss Coulter if false is slander, and if you know it to be true is detraction, both very grave sins."

OK, let me help you out here (as you are probably not a lawyer as both Ms. Coulter are (and both non-practicing to boot), you probably do not realize that:

1. Slander is verbal; LIBEL is what you meant to say;

2. Since Ms. Coulter is a public person, the only way it can be libel is if I, knowing it to the false, maliciously published with wanton disregard or intent to injure her reputation (close enough to the definition, I think)

This will not lie, because: a) I, to the contrary, believe the statement to be true based on various comments I have heard her make on various talk-radio shows, and b) I have no malicious intent against her anyhow - you are reading waaayyyy to much into the remark:

Secondly, your point about my being somewhat hypocritical may or may not lie, but hey - I am human, and we all have our contradictions - ask me if I particularly care (*NOT*)

Thirdly - do you realize how insulting, condescending and inappropriate your "grave sins" comment is? You presume WAAAYYY too much about what I may or may not believe, AND you are neither my rabbi, pastor, nor priest, plus I did NOT ask your opinion on the matter.

If you want to know how I feel about folks who 'wear their faith on their sleeves' and why, I commend you to read through my FR homepage.

Finally, my initial reaction after reading the last line of your comment may be characterized in this way:
