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

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!"

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.

Now now, don't knock Connie like that. It was the affable Eva Braun herself, Katie Couric, who happily handed over the entire Today show so the Queen could issue her pronouncements to the nation.

I agree with you on both points. The lawyers have made it more expensive to impose capital punishment than it would cost to keep murderers locked up for life. That's a separate issue, reallty, since I was talking about the philoshopy of capital punishment rather that the practicality. You made some very good points though, and commend you.

I also agrre with you that rape victims should be allowed to abort. I've stated that in the past and got mercilessly flamed, but I think forcing a woman who was raped to carry that progeny to term is cruel and sick. What if some scumbag was able to rape and impregnate a few hundred women, should he be rewarded by being allowed to pass on his genes to dozens of offspring? That probably explains why most of the Moslem world is today comprised cheifly of of barbaric, rapist, murdering scum.

[Dakmar]

I meant to say Katie Couric, but I grew up in the 70's and had to make a choice. It was either Connie Chung or Pink Floyd, and I know they never interviewed the Hildebeast.

Who cares? These things could only bother Libs and the immature. It doesn't detract from her Constitutional stance, her push for truth in media, and her voice against the lies of the left.

Iwish every baby could be born, but I can see where rape is not normal. If the mother is knowingly going to die from child birth, then that to is not a normal situation.

But what we are talking about mught be 300 babys a year not being born instead of 2 million.
At the same time we might grab the majority of America to pull this off.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Well not a HAM sandwich but any other meathead would do.

[A CA Guy]

mught = might

[A CA Guy]

Thought meatheads become Directors of film!!!

[Dakmar]

I hear you, I just wish the absolutists could. You may get called a moral relativist for taking such a stance, but I know you are not. I think you are trying to apply common sense solutions to what have become nearly intractible social problems. Too bad so few can approach social problems from an intellectual, rather than emotional perspective.

the press has nothing better to do.

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.

There is another issue. I don't believe there is such a thing as life inprisonment in our country. Even Serhan Serhan (sp) and Manson are routinely brought before the board for release. There are govenors and presidents that provide pardons. We have about 18,000 murders per year and less than 100 executions. The problem is that the murderer gets out and victimizes again. I belive that cost to society may far exceed the $7 million.

How I wish there was some reliable data on repeat murderers that had already been caught once.

Godspeed, The Dilg

Ann Coulter is 38 or 40 years old? That's the best news I have read all day.

[RepoGirl]

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

You know, it's very similar to how Katherine Harris was treated during the 2000 election (or really, how any of the anti-Klintoon babes were treated). I was living in Boston at the time, and of course, most of my friends and associates were either liberal lite or hard core socialists, who of course espoused the empowerment of women: they had the right to 'choose', they were more than their bodies or their looks (most often said by the wimpier of the fem-boys or the heavier/uglier of the women), yadda yadda yadda...

But, when "Morticia" came around, I swear to pete, it was like all of a sudden, I was back in 8th grade surrounded by the cattiest of the catty girls: look at her make up, she's such a hag, she's so stupid, meow, meow, meow.

They can crow all they want about their ideologies and their progressive views--but they can't hide their most base secret--which Ann pegged-- they never got out of junior high. Hee!

Take care,

Reep

[Tijeras_Slim]

Life begins at 40.
Just ask Elvis.

[Ditter]

I can't imagine how (or why) Ann's age even came up. Oh, I guess the dims didn't want to talk about her views.

[mewzilla]

I guess this is what passes for investigative journalism at the comPost these days. How the mighty have fallen...

[ChadGore]

[ChadGore]

Liberals confuse me.

Death for the inosent. (unborn)
Life for the guilty. (killers)

How any person could maintain this delusional view is beyond me.

[TLBSHOW]

Stupid liberal commies have no clue.

[TLBSHOW]

You want some real off the wall views? Visit these wacked out rats! For a good laugh as the commies grasp at straws but still fall short. lol

Clueless rat nest
