That was an absolutely brilliant column by Mark Steyn. I loved the part about Edwards and Kerry. Their 'Elmer Gantry moment.' LOL!
Numerous people on FR (including me) have tried to make Mark's point that he makes so well about Ann's 'over the top' style. Her statements that some see as excessively harsh toward the Jersey Girls provide the required bludgeon to get the mules' attention. Polite PC statements would just be ignored, as Mark's were. But he correctly sees that the spotlight she put on this despicable practice of victim trotting-out has changed the landscape for the Democrat/MSM/designated victim coalition.
Ann knows exactly what she's doing when she makes these statements the way she does.

Absolutely correct - which is why I suspect Steyn's observation : "But nobody paid the slightest heed to this line. For all the impact my column had, I might as well have done house calls. Then Coulter comes in and yuks it up with the Playboy-spread gags, and suddenly the Jersey Girls only want to do the super-extra-fluffy puffball interviews. So two paragraphs in Ann Coulter's book have succeeded in repositioning these ladies: they may still be effective Democrat hackettes, but I think TV shows will have a harder time passing them off as non-partisan representatives of the 9/11 dead." is the REAL reason why the Leftards are in such a twitter.
