Mystery of the Ages (Now Ann Coulter has liberals in an uproar over her age) lolrof

[TLBSHOW]

Is Human Uzi Ann Coulter 38 or 40 years old? And when she insists that she's the former, is she telling a fib? The right-wing media scourge – who has been getting plenty of ink for her best-selling book, "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right" – frequently scorches hapless reporters who dare write that she's no longer in her thirties. Newsday's Aileen Jacobson – who was planning to rely on numerous published accounts, including People magazine's, that Coulter is 40 – let her subject argue her into using the younger age in a recent profile. "Media accounts that she's 40 are wrong, she maintains," Jacobson wrote. But yesterday Jacobson told us: "I do believe that she is 40." London Telegraph writer Toby Harnden, meanwhile, wrote in his July 19 piece: "An air of mystery surrounds Coulter's age. She says she is 38 but her publicist puts her at 40. After the interview, she sends me an e-mail: 'I think you should go with one of the incorrect younger ages.' " Our own investigation revealed that: * Coulter's Connecticut driver's license lists her birth as December 1961. * Her D.C. driver's license, acquired many years later, says she was born in December 1963. * The birth date on file at the New Canaan, Conn., voter registration office is Dec. 8, 1961. In an effort to clear up all this confusion, a member of The Post's crack research team phoned the New Canaan registrar of voters, who chuckled, checked his records and reported that Coulter registered to vote in 1980, when presumably she was the legal minimum voting age of 18. That would make her 40 today. But when we reached Coulter, she predictably stuck to her guns. "It's like the difference in being thrown off the 13th floor or the roof," she e-mailed us. "So the upside is, I'm two years younger than at least some newspapers have said I am, but the downside is, I'm still 38. Yikes!"

They've addressed such important issues as her hair, her weight, her clothes, her makeup, her dating habits and now her age. I wonder when they're going to get around to addressing her ideas?

[PoorMuttly]

"It's the partisanship, stupid."

Or is it the Stupid Partisanship? When desperate, they reveal themselves as truly base and not respectable, intellectually. Creatively bankrupt, because their views are groundless, unsupported, and indefensible.

I'm glad their words are in print. Muttly to Lib "Journalist":

Go away, little man. (goes for most of their women, too!)

[thegreatbeast]

She looks alright to me. And she writes like hell.

[Dakmar]

Just wait, Connie Chung will do another special with the Hildebeast where she will be allowed to discuss how she's been "victimized" by the phallocentric hegemonic VRWC, and any discusson of Ann will have been long forgotten.

[A CA Guy]

The thing about Democrats that leaves me speachless is their ability to stand by anything with the name Democrat next to it?
Where Hillary was voted in, a ham sandwich could have been elected if Democrat was next to the label.

[A CA Guy]

Truth be known, they are all FRENCH!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

It's so easy to tell, Hillary, Feinschwein, and Renos ages by looking at their teeth that no Republican counter-offensive is necessary, but I encourage one anyway.

I'd rather French kiss a camel.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Wow... if this is the most pressing criticism of Annie the libs can come up with... boy these freaks are just reaching for it now!

Yes. They are really countering Ann's arguments effectively, 'eh? What shameless, petty, insignificant people.

[SevenofNine]

All I know TLB I wish I Look like Annie when I get to her age it would be 40 or 38 years old

Anne just tell the troll interviewers you just one year away from celebrating 39th birthday and holding

Hell it work for Jack Benny and Reagan LOL!

[Dakmar]

It's difficult, no, impossible to have a consistent philosophy as a group when being a member of that group requires one to hold several conflicticting personal beliefs. How can a person be against the death penalty for convicted murderers while supporting laws that allow the murder of unborn children, for instance?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

That would make Helen Thomas subject to the "old growth" regulations. We must re-pot her in a stretch of Pacific-Northwwest rainforest immediately.

I recommend the Petrified Forest in Arizona. She's gotta be at least 3 million years old.

[Dakmar]

I'm basically libertarian. I would never try to force you to look into the mouth of any politician.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I would never try to force you to look into the mouth of any politician.

Thanks. The displacement of breathable oxygen by gas would probably be terminal. And in the case of Hitlery, Reno, etc.: "The horror. The horror..."

[A CA Guy]

Yes, Democrats are for killing the innocent and saving the lives of evil people.

Meanwhile Conservatives (Republicans) are for saving innocent life and making the evil ones pay - again go figure how we are made out to be the bad guys!

My view is that you jail for life the bad guys. Not because I don't want them to fry, but it would cost about 7 million less to just house them for life.
Until we bring down appeals cost it is cheaper by millions to house them.

Also, though I want' NO ABORTION, if we could take the argument that abortion is only acceptable in rape or life and death of mother, then we can save 99% of the babies.
Convenience and selfishness makes up 99% of the abortions.

Again, nothing against the death penalty or no abortions, I just think we have to frame the argument down a different road on the way to the same end!

The all or nothing route often leaves you with nothing.

[pattycake]

My God what a stupid thing to make all this hay about.

[Thommas]

Let me see if I can reconcile that belief system.

A murdering scum bag has lived a life rich with experience and duration, therefore deserving of respect for its fullness. Such a life, no matter how vile, evil or detrimental to those in the society at large, has reached a stage of completeness that is beyond mere judgement by his/her peers.

Now, the innocent unborn, in the alternative, knows nothing of life in its durance, nothing of life derived by meaningful sensation and is truely a tabula rosa (blank slate) which, if tossed aside, will only be a blank slate decaying in some organic compost. Indeed, we see that the poor distraught mother is really in the same state of grace as the murderous scumbag in the paragraph supra. Ergo, her life could be altered in some cosmic manner unbefitting her choice of lifestyle if the spark of life in her womb were allowed to gestate. We see, then, that mercy for the life experiences of the murderous scum and the aborting non-mother are sacrosanct and trump any negative judgement.

Thank-you.

(whuuuuuuuuuuf, whellllaarrrrrrrp, puuuuuuuuuuuuuke...)

[Diddle E. Squat]

Wonder how many rings are inside that trunk?

[blackbart.223]

"I do believe that she is 40."

So what? She is more intelligent and graceful than Hillary will ever be.

[Timesink]

Why is it that liberals can happily ignore crimes of the highest scale (just pick any five or six from the Clinton Administration, there's plenty enough for everyone), and yet at the same time think that catching Ann Coulter in a lie about her age is somehow going to destroy her?

[A CA Guy]

I am not against the death penalty as an example, but I am against the extra 7 million to kill them. So if we could in some way suspend their rights to expensive appeals, I'd throw a switch or two myself.

As far as abortion is concerned, I think the country could be turned to a philosophy of no abortions except in the cases of rape or the threat of death of the mother. That is possible to win over time.

If a girl is raped, how do you force her to have the child of the rapist?
If you KNOW the mom will die in birth, why make her die giving birth?

Yes we hold our noses even with those two forms of abortion, but we can win the lives of the other 99% I think.

It would be a lack of ethics that would say though, save the bad guy and kill the innocent baby!
As you see, I have good reasons for what I think about things and I would save a ton of cash without giving bad guys a nice life.
Plus we can save a lot of babies by fighting the abortion issue as I view it!

Just my opinion as to winnable approaches, but killing the bad guys on death row and having no abortions would be ideal for me as well.
