Ann Coulter has done more for the "conservative cause" in the past six years than NR has done in the last 46 years. Besides, they are obviously losing their spine and probably don't have much more to contribute. Ann is young and brilliant, and has a long future ahead of her to get even better. Out with the old, in with the new.
I would also submit the following:
Jonah Goldberg is a gifted writer himself. I wonder if he and others at NR used this controversial piece by Ann to get rid of some competition in a smarmy "office politics" - type move. There may have been some rivalry going on.
Also, I think National Review needs Ann a whole lot more than Ann needs National Review, LOL!!!
Whoa, I'm not a large type fan of National Review but that's taking it a bit far, don't ya think? She's hot (or at least a lot of folks think so) and she's not illiterate....that's about all you can say. NR, like it or not, is a pillar of the conservative movement.

Not so fast. I don't know what qualifies as young these days but the illustrious Miss Coulter will turn 40 in 2002. And as she gets older, so will her act. She's very abrasive and annoying on TV. She grew up in Greenwich and has gotten by on her looks all her life and it shows. Her looks are rapidly deteriorating. All too soon, she is gonna need all the friends she can get.
