Happy giving tree festival to all, and to all a good night! Ann Coulter (archive)

December 23, 2004

Since the attack of 9-11, we've won two wars, liberated millions of people from monstrous regimes, presided over one election in Afghanistan and are about to see elections in Iraq and among the Palestinian people. Focusing like a laser beam on the big picture, liberals are upset that, during this period, the secretary of defense used an autopen.

An autopen is a mechanical arm that actually holds a pen and is programmed to sign letters with a particular person's precise signature. Imagine a President Al Gore, with slightly more personality, signing all official government letters – that's an autopen. (You can relax now, there will be no more exercises imagining a President Al Gore.)

Thank God for Ann Coulter. I like the fact that she is a rabid partisan, makes no bones about it, and hits the nail right on the head with her acrid sarcasm. Which, in my opinion, is exactly what the "AutoPenGate" "Scandal" deserves.

My favorite RummySpeak exchange: REPORTER: What are you trying to do with those bunker busters?

RUMSFELD: Kill people.

REPORTER: I meant what do you hope to find when you go to the place you dropped the bombs?

RUMSFELD: Dead people.

Your Views may Vary.

Rummy v reporters..no contest!

I like this part the best...ROFLOL


There are 300 million Americans who have a constitutional right – an actual right, not a phony one invented by Harry Blackmun – to write to government officials. Every government office you've ever heard of in Washington, D.C., uses autopens with abandon.

As president, Clinton sold burial plots in Arlington Cemetery and liberals shrugged it off. What really gets their goat is the autopen. Evidently, the important thing was that every one of those pardons Clinton sold for cash on his last day in office was signed by Bill Clinton personally.

I don't know who runs this site, and haven't taken the time to look at the rest of it, but this is a great collection, and tells you quite a bit about the man.

Our American image comes from movies. But Hollywood isn't the real America ....................... A: The real America is Hollywood, Fla.

No contest either.

Merry Christmas

If you hear deeply satisfied giggles in the evening, it's because I'm reading her new book, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must). Ann is the best.

I don't think Ann is an overly attractive woman, but the rules are the rules...

[Waco]

How many times were we told of Klink using an autopen?

[Truth29]

Oh that's great - should be made into a wall plaque.

To the rescue...Ann Coulter (real pen)

"RUMSFELD: Dead people."

Did he really say that? Almost sounds too good to be true.

[dsc]

"Ann is an overly attractive woman,"

IMHO, she could be a total dog and her brain and sense of humor would make her very attractive.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

this is the first war America has been in where the number of casualties is small enough that it would even be theoretically possible for a Defense secretary to sign each condolence letter personally.

Follow the link to get the punch line.

[beyond the sea]

That's a good picture. She actually looks happy with that nice, big beer.

[TUX]

She breaks all the stereotypes. Beautiful, bright, blond, faithful, conservative woman from a blue state with a pen thats pointed,

[aBootes]

FAvorite line:

"Zapatero is Spanish for 'Chamberlain'"

Thanks for posting this; there are too many gems from both Ann and Rummy to select just one favorite!
