re: carved out for herself a niche as Killer Queen of Liberal Repartee)))
Well, now, isn't that quite an achievement, in and of itself? I don't accept that that is all she's done--I found "Treason" a remarkable and beautifully documented, compelling retelling of the Whitaker Chambers saga. Around here, I don't think that's appreciated as much as her Eternal Legs. I even called Ann a "Mane-Flipper" at one time, but so much of that is burlesque.
That is, in the same sense that Rush uses braggadocio, Ann uses mini-skirts.
The Gannon thing was a shakedown. I resent highly its intimidatory nature--if all Gannon has "done" is to embarrass himself in his private life...well, he needs to come back to the WH. Wouldn't that just kill the liberals?
We all have, in our local churches, a very worthy and kind lady, Mrs. McPhereson, whose son is (as we say in the South) sweet. None of us would grieve Mrs. McPhereson for the world, and none of us would really want to be unkind to her son. I regard homosexuality as a kind of affliction; I do not understand it. But I do know that I am not required to approve of it.
Mrs. McPhereson's son can still make a living, can write things that I might want to read. I don't have to applaud his sexual behavior to do that.
And Mrs. McPhereson's son provides the flowers for the church altar from his shop...

Unfortunately, her legs are as ephemeral as the "values" of the "conservative" justices appointed by our alledgedly "pro-life" politicians.
I used to be a Coulter fan before she sold out. As it is, I'll stick with bona fide brainiacs like Schlafley instead.
It's funny you bring up Chambers. I've been a fan of his since first I read Witness in high school. Wasn't until years later when I picked up a copy of the complete exhibits of the ACLU's appeal on behalf of Hiss that certain unsettling truths came to light.
Mostly courtesy of Nixon's pressing Chambers to reveal the homosexual relationship between him and Hiss.
The GOP may have a long history of attracting genuine converts from the left (as opposed to the likes of Whoreowitz, for example), but just as lengthy is its history of prying into personal lives for the applying of pressure or control.
Sad but true.
As a resident of the French Quarter for over 15 years, I can vouch for the fact that plenty of homosexuals are just as put off as I or anyone else by the "Gay Pride" or "Gay as Victim" schtick. They see it for what it is.
And I too believe homosexuality is an aberrant affliction. I'd like to believe that most of my gay friends were "born that way" but the fact of the matter is that most were raped or seduced into the lifestyle and can't figure out how to get back across the Rubicon.
I figure that's what accounts for the particularly shrill and bitter screeching sound of the Gay Pride contingent.
