Ann Coulter carried on and ranted against the nomination of John Roberts as well.
What is her problem?
>>What is her problem?
I think that Ann is mad that Bush didn't ask her.
Her "problem" is not being a sucker.
Roberts might well turn out to be a disaster, and my guess is that he will be, but it is a guess, and that is exactly the way President wanted it. Only a total jerk and jackass with a hidden agenda would have presented such an ambiguous cipher under the circumstances ... but at least we knew that Roberts understood what the heck confronted him. Cold comfort, very cold.
Now, just guessing again, as the President wanted it ... like any sophomoric jerk or jackass, who deems it clever to make people guess about such a serious issue ... it seems the President has nominated a second cipher, but this time an opportunist, a self-promoter, a mediocrity, and a sychophant.
And like the good poker player he is (and knowing that good conservative folks admired him for it), he has disgraced and bamboozled (yet once more) those same folks, who never understood he was not a conservative, but just a Bush Republican, a man who understood that there were certain minimal things he needed to do to swindle the mass of Republicans.
A man who does not operate from principle, but strictly from self interest, a Bill Clinton with his pants on.
A man who operates with such a lack of clarity, even a politician, is an untrustworthy man, a man repugnant to the principles of conservatism.
There was piece on FR yesterday? telling about Coulters new boy toy she is dating---maybe she has to keep him happy, since he is a 'rat', by bashing someone that the President has faith in---also, has to keep up her image to get on the shows and in the papers so her followers keep buying her stuff---tough tightrope for an old broad to balance on--love conquers all?
