USA Today editors have spiked a convention column they commissioned from conservative controversialist Ann Coulter, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.Coulter filed her first report from Boston Sunday night, only to be told hours later that editors found it "unusable" and "not funny."
"They should have read my work before they hired me!" Coulter, who has sold nearly a million copies of her various works and his written a syndicated column for five years, said from Boston.
MOORE ON THE FLOOR, BUT ANN IN THE CAN
Meanwhile Leftwing controversialist and Bush hater Michael Moore has free reign on the floor of the convention hall in Boston -- and has been hired to write for USA TODAY at the Republican convention in New York City!
Developing...
I am now dying to see this Ann Coulter piece.
I never considered her a "humorist." I've always considered her a "rip your throat out and draw blood" type of conservative.
If they expected laughing entertainment, they went to the wrong person.
Actually, it is, just not government censorship, and thus is not a violation of the first amendment. But it's still politically motivated (self) censorship.
Annie's outtakes are precious. People hear she is a best-selling author and they sign her up. Then they read the column she submits to them. Whoops.
Her forthcoming book has several of these spiked columns. The one submitted to Good Housekeeping is outstanding. GH too crowded up with articles about sex toys.
USA Today will hire Bob (step and fetch, go along to get along) Michel to write cutting edge commentary on the Rat convention.
This may be because they were told how many people they would lose as subscibers if they didn't fire Moore, so now they have to can Coulter to be fair and balanced.
The moderator spiked my pix! What a clymer! I post these pix every Thursday when Ann's column is posted and no one has ever removed them. At the risk of being banned - hey moderator, what T Heinz Kerry sez!
USA Today spikes Ann Coulter's column yet hires a liar such as Michael Moore. If they want someone strange why not hire Stalking Cat or Lizzard Man? At least they'd get more interesting and honest answers from them.
Thanks sent in my two cents worth.
I just love the editorial bias...
They hire Michael of the Moors who has been proven repeatedly to lie blatantly in all his work.
They turn down Ann Coulter who is factual on every point but liberals don't want to hear the information.
Written and sent.
Thank you!
This has become the HOTTEST colum and will now get even MORE read.
This is a Hanity or some FOX top story.
The convention so far:
Tuherezaaaaah "get lost" Comment.
Kerry throws like a girlie-man
Kerry booed at a baseball game
Leftist protesters beat the poop out of a lone anti-protester.
Moore is in/out/in/out/in.
NO BUSH BASHING edict (feel free to bash religion because that bashes bush indirectly)
and it has not even "opened"
CENSORSHIP!
How old is she? Early 30's?
Ann Coulter is a good-lookin 42.
According to Wikipedia, she was born December 8, 1961.
THanks, just sent my thoughtful comment.
