What anatomically is a 'girly-boy'?

CONSERVATIVE commentator Ann Coulter has branded her former boss at the National Review a "girly-boy" for firing her after she wrote two controversial columns about the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Coulter, the leggy, blonde pundit who became a TV talk show fixture during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, caused an uproar in Washington media circles when, referring to Islamic extremists who were filmed "dancing and cheering" after the Sept. 11 attacks, she wrote: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
When Coulter penned an equally incendiary follow-up in which she singled out "suspicious-looking swarthy males," National Review editor Rich Lowry canned her as a contributing editor.
An angry Coulter - who says that popular radio hosts Rush Limbaugh and Michael Medved both praised her column - responded by branding Lowry a "girly-boy" for "censoring" her work.
"I've talked to many people at the National Review, most of whom quite liked the column," she told us. "The only one who was against it was Rich Lowry. When I say that they are girly-boys over there, I am referring to him."
Lowry was on a cruise yesterday and could not be reached. But National Review Online editor Jonah Goldberg told the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz earlier this week it wasn't just Lowry who objected to Coulter's column.
"We got a lot of complaints from sponsors and a lot of complaints from readers left, right and center," said Goldberg. "We've decided for editorial reasons we think are sound that we're no longer going to run Ann Coulter's syndicated column."
Coulter says the scandal has been great publicity for her, and disputed Kurtz's description of the National Review as "the most prominent perch" for her column.
"The Drudge Report is by far a more prominent perch than the National Review," she sniffed. "It is impossible for anyone to fire me. I publish a column that's carried in lots of newspapers and Web sites."
Coulter says the flap can be attributed to "a general hysteria right now over speech," which has ensnared "Politically Incorrect" host Bill Maher (who apologized after calling U.S. troops "cowards" for bombing Iraq,) the Rev. Jerry Falwell (who apologized after blaming the terror attacks on gays and abortions) and televangelist Pat Robertson, (who is under fire for linking the attacks to gay rights and Internet pornography).
WFB is a major league Catholic.
Used to write essay after essay alluding to this fact in his formerly not sh*t-filled magazine.
Wrote a ton of books about sailing, in which he mentioned going to Mass before an Atlantic crossing, praying at the same church where, centuries before, Columbus did, in 1492.
Wrote "Nearer My God to Thee," a wonderful book, an apology of Christianity for nonbelievers.
Where is the wrinkly old dude on this subject?
He should be standing up for Coulter for God and Country and against the frooty editor whom he mistakenly allowed to take over NR.
He ought to be kicking the froot's ass out the door and making Coulter the new E-in-C.
Just for symmetry's sake.
I doubt you'll find Buckley or any other sane person arguing for the conversion of Islamics to Christianity at gun point. Ann's off her rocker.
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AND I BET HE DOES STEP IN. HE DID FOR JENNA AND THE IDIOT DRINKING AGE.
Whether you think that Matt Drudge is Walter Winchell reincarnated or just the class gossipmonger of American politics, DrudgeReport.com has long been a site to be reckoned with.
Now, after the attacks on the World Trade Center, Drudge’s site has become an ad domain to be reckoned with. For the week ending Sept. 16, the Drudge Report was the No. 20 ad domain, according to Nielsen//NetRatings, with 10,759,000 impressions, reaching 0.76 percent of the internet audience. This marks the first time that the popular site has ranked as a top ad domain.
Yep Ann is right again. Matt rules Ann Rules! and Radical and in the faces of the left conservative ways rule!
LOL
Are you a betting man?
She never said that. She said "invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." Well, we are going to invade Afghanistan, put bin Laden on trial and subject him to the death penalty if guilty, and we certainly will allow in Christian missionaries thereafter.
She said nothing about the conversions being at gunpoint. That's simply disinformation that her girlie-man critics have spread.
I'll thank you not to respond, "But we all know that's what she really meant." Because I don't have telepathy, and neither do you.
Here is a picture of one....
I am. And I'd take a bet that Buckley doesn't even know who Ann Coulter is. He doesn't run NR anymore, and has never had any interest (other than his columns) in NRO.
You-Don Quixote.
Coulter-Dulcinea.
Keep chasing this blonde windmill.
