Ann Coulter's cynical swindle (bunched panties alert)

Scripps Howard ^ | 6/20/06 | Paul Campos

[pissant]

I actually agree with this guy's assessment of the obesity racket.

[taxesareforever]

I can attest that when she was an unknown law student, Coulter said outrageous things all the time, in class, in conversation, and in print.

Oh, was he in her classroom? I certainly doubt it.

[pissant]

I think he was.

[monkeybrau]

The title made me want to post this: To the Coulter haters I say, sticks and stones...

[Paladin2]

"disturbing to contemplate"?

I feel that way about a Hillary! presidency.

Paul Campos left a position with a Chicago law firm to begin his teaching career at CU Law School in 1990.

"Nevertheless prostitution is everywhere in our society, and indeed the willingness to sell what shouldn't be sold often helps explain what's happening when one tries to interpret otherwise puzzling events."

And yet this writer "prostitutes" his authorship by selling Ann Coulter on the headline to push his agenda of The International Obesity Task Force.

[muawiyah]

Is this guy into dresses or what.

[Borges]

He's actually opposed to it.

Newsflash:

The writer, Paul Campos is drinking out of the same water fountain as Ward Churchill.

Noticed at the bottom of the article:

"(Paul Campos is a law professor at the University of Colorado and can be reached at Paul.Campos(at)Colorado.edu.)"

As far as I am concerned, you are in violation until you post a pic of Annie with her panties in a wad (or just Annie in her panties)...

I think you get my drift. And yes...you made me look.

[Larry Lucido]

I don't get it. P. J. O'Rourke has been saying way more controversial things for way longer, and hasn't received a fraction of the condemnation of Ann. Granted, Ann looks better . . . . .

[DocRock]

It is still an agenda.

[Mamzelle]

Ann really riles up the girly men.

[Texas Eagle]

As always, the cover features a portrait of the artist as a young tart, blond locks flowing, her size zero little black dress catering to a combination of ideological and erotic perversion that's disturbing to contemplate.

Don't like girls, eh, Paul?

[Ken522]

He's using the old lawyer's trick, reducing the arguments to their absurd conclusions to make a stark point ... Ms. Coulter does that too, but she does it with a skill this guy could only dream of.

[Jorge]

Amazing the extent to which some people will go to in order to explain away the possibility that Ann actually believes the things she says.

Of course I'm not defending her statement on 9-11 widows enjoying their husband's deaths..that was a cruel thing to say...but it's weird to see how the left tries to reduce it to such cynical, totally pragmatic terms.

[boatbums]

I think what really is getting this guy's knickers in a knot is that not only is Ann Coulter a blonde, beautiful, leggy, thin, and witty, she is actually at least ten times smarter than ANY of the pundits out there, male or female.
She knows what she believes and why and has no problem expressing it live or in print.

He needs to get over it and make a better argument if he thinks he has one.

[IronJack]

a combination of ideological and erotic perversion that's disturbing to contemplate.

No, what's "disturbing to contemplate" is anyone being aroused over Barbra Streisand. Or Hillary Clinton. Or Nancy Pelosi. THAT'S perversion! A willowy blonde with a rapier wit and the courage of her convictions is bound to arouse most men, except the crowd that drinks their latte with their pinky extended and that craves to be dominated by a leather-clad Helen Thomas.

[Texas Eagle]

Prostitution, however, is a tricky business.

Never quite got the hang of it, eh, Paul?
