It's frankly been this way for a while.

Ann Coulter is a goddess. She descended from the high mountains and is a gift from Olympia to all mortals - granting us guidance when we were lost, giving us vision when we were blind, bringing us comfort when we were alone, and giving us warm baths after a long day at work.

Or something.... Ann is hot. And right.

If true-blue Conservatives like Coulter are only loved when they agree in lockstep, then just what is the point?

When she uses DNC slurs to voice disagreement then the gloves come off. I see a lot of talk about the "cult of Bush" from many of you but damn the AC cult is like a damned teenage fan club.

""He has ignored the oath he swore, contrast his performance with that of President Eisenhower" who appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren, a man who did more damage to the Constitution than 20,000,000 Mexicans ever could."

First I find it interesting that you only focus upon Mexicans given the OTM's that are also crossing in droves. Eisenhower was asked late in life what his biggest mistake as president was, he responded "appointing that SOB Earl Warren to the Supreme Court." Anyway Earl Warren is dead now, while illegal aliens produce anchor babies and balkanization. And remember that the Chief Justice has the same vote as any other justice.

Since I'm the one one who is actually taking this thread off topic it is interesting that you supplied the example of Earl Warren on a thread where so many admonish Ann Coulter for taking a jaundiced view of the new nominee. I have no opinion on Harriet Miers (sp) at this point but feel that we need to be very wary lest we get "Souter-ed" again.

What she attacked was the choice of Roberts, not Roberts.

Good point. That was my thought exactly when the same accusation was made on TV last nite, forgot where, about conservatives attacking Miers.

LOL!

Ann "happens to hold a point of view". Meanwhile, people who disagree with her "attack". That is the summary of PD's post.

In reality, Ann dished it out...then she got it back!

He's a brilliant, long-established commentator who is not widely read because few people are smart enough to fully understand his writings.

Really? He sounds like a TOTAL ASS to me. And if he's so smart, why can't he communicate his ideas in a way that others can understand him.

Here's the deal with Lisphin. He finally sort of got his 15 minutes of fame - except Ann didn't mention his name and he's angry. So this is his way of trying to ride his moment of sort of but not really getting mentioned in an Ann Coulter column.

I mean, if Ann had written she met a really handsome gentleman who made her heart flutter this weekend, and it was me, but she didn't mention my name, I would also take credit for it to a site no one reads and then link to it myself on FR.

Very good. Kind of reminds me of when someone wrote that the Episcopal Church will one day break new ground when the elect an openly Christian bishop.

The reason Ike and Reagan and GHWB blew it with their picks was because they did NOT know their appointments. GWB knows Miers very well.

Turn it around and ask yourself -- if Kerry had won and appointed some lawyer who was his counsel that he knew well and had ties to liberal social organizations, would we have any DOUBT that the lawyer was a flaming liberal?

I think the "problem" is that the Left has portrayed GWB as stupid so much that some on the Right are beginning to believe it. Either that, or they believe he's deliberately going back on his word to appoint Scalias and Thomases.

I think the President is honorable and smart and a good judge of character. I also think that the President, personally, has more confidence that Moers will make the right calls than Roberts -- because he's worked closely with her.

Ann seems like she has always had a glass of wine or two whenever I hear her on Sean Vanity or Drudge. Come across as Rightintelligentsia.

Pukin Dog...

You dont' know if Miers is the best or not.

You are judging a book by its cover.

Before you finish rushing to judgment, why not wait to see what happens at the confirmation.

The nomination has been made... and the continue wailing over spilt milk is just silly.

"The reason Ike and Reagan and GHWB blew it with their picks was because they did NOT know their appointments. GWB knows Miers very well."

I think the Republicans need to get in the gutter and fight with the Democrats when it comes to this. It is absolutly disgusting that only 3 Senate Republicans voted against Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is on the court thanks to RINO's.

I mean they need to fight dirty, right now they pull the knoife out when the Democrats scream, when that is the time to twist it. They need to reframe the debate along the lines of "Ted Kennedy wants judges who are good for NAMBLA and Al Qaeda, we want judges who are good for America." The MSM will scream, don't retreat, strike back and refer to them as the house organs of the DNC (which is true).

You know they haven't...

What that kind of charge is lobbed, it usually has to do with a disagreement.

And heaven help the "bot" who doesn't agree with the thread's usually over the top and heavy handed criticism, suddenly, they are morphed in bots or cultists...

Just because someone doesn't agree with your assessment of the situation, doesn't make that person a cultist or a bot. It makes them someone who has a difference of an opinion.

Can you handle it? Because by your post, I would think not...

rapture-me wrote: Cute? About the only thing that is cute is her figure & long hair. Look at her facial features closely and they are just ordinary.

If one goes by her facial features, one would have to admit that she shares certain facial structure similarities with John Kerry. Both have long, thin faces with prominent chins. Of course, Ann is more feminine and those features work better on a female IMHO.

Ann bears an even stronger resemblance to the Kerry daughters, especially the blond (Vanessa).

One could even imagine them singing "We Are Family" if one didn't know them and just saw pictures.

P.S. Please don't flame me, this is just an observation, and my flame retardant suit is at the cleaners 8^).

Well, I can't speak for Pres. Bush, but if I was in his shoes, and personally knew someone from day-to-day contact with them, they might get a stronger reaction from me than even a respected jurist with impeccable conservative credentials who I knew only by reputation. Does that make Miers the BEST? No, just the best known.

Attacking Miers law background because she didn't come from an upper crust law school smacks of arrogance and prejudice.

An extremely liberal upper crust law school at that.

Does that make Miers the BEST?

I've been thinking about that today; all this talk about "the best."

On any given day at any given time, isn't there ALWAYS somebody "better" than whoever's doing the talking/judging/writing/debating/living etc.?

Well, I can't speak for Pres. Bush, but if I was in his shoes, and personally knew someone from day-to-day contact with them, they might get a stronger reaction from me than even a respected jurist with impeccable conservative credentials who I knew only by reputation.

Actually, it appears you CAN speak for President Bush because that is exactly what Brit Hume has said that people in the White House said Bush said to them when they asked him why her. He said it was her BECAUSE he was POSITIVE she won't change once she's on the court.

Is it the fact that she isn't intellectual enough?

Nope. It's nothing more than Miers is not one of three or four people that some very narrow minded people had their hopes set on.

Coulter's reaction to the Roberts nomination was no different. She pitched a fit because the president didn't choose one of the few names which had been bandied about as acceptable.
