You don't think tossing a blonde ponytail is a good substitute for logic?

Rich and famous.
That she works somewhat less these days is a sign that she can.
This forum has been in love with Ann Coulter for quite some time, and then because she happens to hold a view (which I agree with by the way) that many of you don't, she is now under attack? It is ridiculous, and it is not the kind of Conservatism that I want to be associated with.
If true-blue Conservatives like Coulter are only loved when they agree in lockstep, then just what is the point?
Or is this just some mutual admiration society, unable to cope with opposing points of view?
glad it wasn't just me ..I usually think she is entertaining with some good points ...but, she just sounded MEAN
Well... I might be convinced, but it won't be by logic. =)
Great post and so true. There are many good conservatives disagreeing with Dubya on this pick.
She has no choice. Other than her books, she has to scrounge for somebody to publish her vitriolic columns.
She may be wealthy, but she appears to be very unhappy.
She's still searching for her mate, the perfect Rottweiler.
Specifically what?
I have always admired Ann Coulter - until I listened to her on Hannity's radio show yesterday and then watched her continue her tirade on Hannity and Colmes. She was acting like a spoiled brat that did not get picked as prom queen. The capper was saying that she thinks that "Bush just hates conservatives". Mix that with her calls for Bush's impeachment on Mike Rosen's show and you have someone that is much worse than those that believe in the "trust me" theory. Respectful disagreement is one thing - absolutely nasty hatefulness is another.
She is not just differing with the President. Are you reading her statements? She is vicious and savage, way off the deep end. She is more vicious with Miers and GWB than the lowliest scuzzy left winger, and it is not necessary. Just say you disagree and give lucid reasons why. She makes nutcases like Pat Buchanan look sane. She sounds like George Soros could have hired her.
Sadly, Ann Coulter has become the conservative Al Franken. She's shrill, shallow and simply not very likable anymore. Frankly there's not much difference between Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar and How to Talk to a Liberal. They both try to accomplish the same thing via the same means.
Her greatest line was, "To liberals history started this morning." She hasn't had much interesting to offer since.
Well said!
"Thomas Lifson, Thomas Lifson? Sorry, kid, I've heard of Ann Coulter; who are you?"
He's significant enough for Rush Limbaugh to read his column over the air.
I'm torn between cutting Ann Coulter (a hot conservative babe) and GW Bush (an admirable President) some slack. I think I'll cut them both some slack and see where this nomination goes.
There is no question that GWB believes he has nominated a high quality conservative and that Ann believes he made a mistake.
I hope Ann is wrong and that she keeps thinking.
Tell her, since you're such an admirer, to stop gratutiously referring to "Bush's boozing." That smarmy remark had nothing to do with the point she was making, and was a shot at the President.
And get her off her Ivy League high horse. Nobody gives a damn that she went to Cornell, especially since she has squandered her legal training to engage in political warfare.
Coulter has ruined herself with her hysterical opposition to Roberts and Miers.
She'll be reduced to ghostwriting in her next career.
(BTW, I agree with Lifson about the that/which point, and think Coulter overstepped her argument here).
Coulter is a brilliant mind, and conservatives should be thankful to have her. Yes, she is a polemicist, and has the edge which (that?) goes with the job.
Her fundamental point is that W just does not get to do what he wants without explaining himself, or least if he does so, he cannot expect intelligent people to refrain from calling him on it.
It is W who is treating conservatives as if they were idiots. Liberals and leftists are so far out there, it almost is absurd to bother with them. But W purports to be a conservative, and that means he is held to a higher standard, a standard of integrity and rationality.
Politics is NOT, fundamentally, a matter of personality, according to the conservative pov. (Yet the conservatives who are being treated like idiots, cling to the personality of W.) That is why we can criticize our guys, and leftists can never criticize theirs. Havent you ever noticed that distinction, and wondered why it was a fact?
Very few women were able to enter law school when Miers was at that age. Very, very few could get into the top schools. Those of Miers age who went to, and graduated from, law schools prior to the mid 60's are to be admired.
Coulter graduated from University of Michigan, a fine law school. However, it appears she missed a few classes on debating skills..
