It doesn't have to be either Steyn or Coulter -- why not BOTH?

See, for instance, Mark's tribute to "Godless," here:

Ann Coulter: America's fiery, blond commentatrix

If Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter got together, their children would be unstoppable. :-)

Thanks for relinking that article RonDog. I think a compliment from Mark Steyn is worth more than any other comment. Here’s is the nub of what he said:

Mark wrote in December 2001:

“”The first reaction of the news shows to the verdict was to book some relative of the 9/11 families and ask whether they were satisfied with the result, as if the prosecution of the war on terror is some kind of national-security Megan’s Law on which they have inviolable proprietorial rights. Sorry, but that’s not what happened that Tuesday morning. The thousands who died were not targeted as individuals: they were killed because they were American, not because somebody in a cave far away decided to murder Mrs. Smith. . . It’s not about ‘closure’ for the victims; it’s about victory for the nation.”

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.”
