The best thing about a new Ann Coulter book coming out....

[xsmommy]

[CholeraJoe]

Ann's putting on a little healthy weight. She actually has hips in that photo.

No, the snow travelling was rough going, but after all It was a BEER Run....

Mornin !

[xsmommy]

well ask dubs, he saw her in the flesh the other day, i did not. Dubs, does she have any more meat on her bones that you could tell?

[camle]

Saw her in RI a few months back. lovely, talented and VERY witty and sarcastic when dealing with libs. Highly attractive, but very thin, with thick blondish hair cascading down in torrents...
About midway through her debate, she seemed to take some pity upon her opponent and soften up a bit, but it was a wonder to behold!

you should have heard the gasps and chiuckles when she mentioned "That TRAITOR, Jane Fonda"

[CholeraJoe]

Mornin' bud. Light blowing snow and 28 degrees. Bout time we got some winter here.

[camle]

well at least you had a dern good reason to be out in a blizzard on a two wheeler! your priorities are straight, young man.

[xsmommy]

she is extremely articulate and witty, but i like peggy noonan better because she has a softer touch.

[CholeraJoe]

Dubs was probably drooling too much to notice.

[hobbes1]

29 here.

Coming Soon !!!

[camle]

Ann, Noonan and Ingraham would make a charming one-two-three team.

[xsmommy]

that is very cute. i did get my talking W doll at CPAC, which is also cute.

[hobbes1]

but i like peggy noonan better because she has a softer touch.

Plus you tend to go for that Soft brunette look, rather than the brassy blonde types

[CholeraJoe]

Ann, Noonan and Ingraham would make a charming one-two-three team. wrapper for a CJ sandwich.

[hobbes1]
