Guess you didn’t pay attention to her complete nervous breakdown during the Harriet Myers debacle. Doesn’t matter what you think about Myers or Bush’s attempt to get her appointed: she behaved like a mental patient on Sean Hannity’s radio show. Some of us remember that, ok? She screamed and raved in a manner unbecoming a pundit. Today, we have Mollie Hemingway and Tammy Bruce on Fox making mince meat of this overly emotional nutcase.
SPOT ON !
Starting that day, I long told people it was the only single thing GWB ever did that made me seriously rue my vote for him in the 2000 primary.
And the rants and shouts of horror back then from Coulter and MANY other conservative Republicans had the intended effect of getting Senate GOP leadership to quietly inform Dubya that Harriet's nom was a non-starter.
I didn't hear the Coulter segment on Hannity-Radio to which you refer, so I don't know how bad she was that day, but what she said about it in her column at that time doesn't sound like a looney tune .... unless you're on the left, in which case EVERYTHING Ann says sounds deranged, as much as everything PDJT says sounds deranged to liberal ears.
As much as I *LOVE* FreeRepublic, I must say I find extremely irksome the endless cycles of "Throw this conservative under the bus!! .... [months later] Wait! They truly knocked that one out of the park! All is forgiven! Quick, drag them out from under the bus, dust them off, and put them up on this golden pedestal / altar! ..... [weeks later] Whoa! Did you hear that one? Throw them under the bus again! ..... [days later] Hold on! It's rehabilitation time again!...."
How many times have we seen this cyclical pattern on FR? Lindsey "Gramnesty"? Ann Coulter? Who else?
