"You think leftists would invite Malkin to their cocktail parties? That's absurd!"
Oh, I disagree...the left loves to have a single conservative 'controversial' figure, and if Malkin is polite enough, she's already got the reputation as a racist (which they love). Now that she's playing the PC queen, all she needs is to be deferential enough to let them shout her into submission (ala George Will) and the invites will be mailed.
LOL! More absurdity!
It's certainly not that. It's calling time-out upon a clear violation of common decency at a function that supposedly represents ALL Conservatives. Others have also expressed the same reservations of Coulter.
Ann's been getting increasingly caustic in her attacks charged by a vocal segment of her admirers and she's only becoming more effective in branding herself and less likely to attract the desired focus upon her "target". Much like the more liberal Republicans are pushing moderates of the GOP to embrace middle to moderate Democrat party thinking, Ann has been pushing the envelope as to what represents acceptable criticism of others and has little-by-little moved from reasoned debate into outright insult.
I would hope in the future she once again considers returning to engaging in reasonable discourse than simply supplying "air-head" proclamations as she did in her performance at CPAC. I know she's smarter and more capable than that which she demonstrated.
