NEW YORK -- Did "firing" Ann Coulter lead to the departure of the editor who axed her?
"I don't think that had anything to do with it," said Bob Unger, who -- in what he described as a "mutual" decision -- stepped down Monday as executive editor of the Centre Daily Times in State College, Pa.
Early last month, Unger dropped Coulter from the newspaper's column lineup, arguing that her syndicated commentary was "mean." This decision infuriated many fans of the conservative Coulter, though Unger said "80 to 85%" of the more than 5,000 e-mails he ultimately received supported his decision. "I know that doesn't represent the general population, but it represented the people who wrote me," he told E&P Online.
So why did Unger and the Centre Daily Times part ways? Unger, who was reached at home, said there was "a difference in style and objective" between him and Henry Haitz, who became publisher of the paper several months ago. Unger declined to give specifics, noting that he was not allowed to do so under his separation agreement.
Unger, who had been executive editor for 2 1/2 years, said he had no immediate job prospects but was working on his second novel.
Hah...it ain't the cash, dude, it's the lack of trousers...maybe we can ask the RedHead nicely and she'll let him outta her sight fer a spell...LOL!!
FReegards...MUD
That contest was ages ago. Is this your normal pattern for paying off your debts?? Landru, are you listening to this???? How long are you willing to wait for that Virginny ham and brewskies you have been promised??? As for me, I expect my catered "night on the town" to occur shortly after the final gun at the Super Bowl.
I've never welshed on a bet, Ol' Man, and I ain't about to start now!!
BTW...sounds like both y'all are countin' yer chickens a bit early, don'tcha think?!
SHEEEESH, I'll never understand this older generation...MUD
LOL...MUD
LOL...I'm always serious, 'cept fer when I'm kiddin'...MUD
Well doesn't that beat all.
That's (essentially) what I said to him only a few days ago, sultan.
Next thing ya know?
The boy's got me dancin' a jig as second to my beautiful redhead &...wearing a kilt!
(~the insufferable little twit. :o) )
Happygal must be offended hearing a Yank being *insulted* using an Irish/Scottish attire usually reserved for only their men.
I dunno, sultan; buy 'em books, send 'em to school, & just LOOK what they do.
"...and Coach Groh will make that all-too-evident AGAIN in a coupla weeks. You wanna bet?!"
A *wager*????
"BTW is Landru the judge on this wager too?? I hope so. Thus far, he has proven to be a fair, competent, honest, and trustworthy arbitor of our other wager."
Now I really *like* that take.
Couldn't possibly have said it better, myself; especially, the *trustworthy* part.
Penn State grads; simply exceptional folks with impeccable taste & judgement to match.
Yes.
Of course it's a wager & I read it right here, too.
(...we'll just see who's wearing the dress when this is all said & done; beard or no beard, buster.)
"...and I'll accept Landru as the judge, although some of his pronouncements lately have led me to doubt his impartiality."
Balderdash! Heresy! SLLLLanderrrrrrr!!
Why I (just happen to be) pure as the driven snow, you scallywag!
~Just ask my wife.
Of course, sultan; I'll be honored *&* pleased to preside over this wager, too.
Justice has never before needed to be meted-out quite like it's needing to be meted out, here.
"Let's make it a nice lunch at a local Richmond eatery..."
"Uh...that was the bet we made last September (in late Black IX or early Black X), Except we specified Sam Miller's, where I will have the she-crab soup and a nice steak, medium well. Sheeeesh!"
Ah-ha!
Shenanigans alreadyyyyyyy as-I-suspected.
Naturally, I rule in your favor, sultan.
That is to say, a wager with a new bounty must be declared by Mudboy Slim & immediately!!
Or else, I'll begin leving some mighty harsh monetary penalties against that boy, on top of the fifteen yards & loss of down he's getting, as it is.
The court frowns on any attempt at a slight-of-hand. ;^)
Now if you've watched Terry McAuliff, closely?
...then you must know by now precisely how *I* got this one's number.
Well, that's what most here like about this gal.
But not *I*.
Oh she's smarter than any 10 gals here & I am partial to smart women, alright.
Be that as it may, I personally like a woman to look a bit more well *fed*.
Purely subjective, you understand. "As for the 'head of liberal' in the soup...sounds good, but leaves an awful after taste!"
Well of course it does!!
It's not meant for you & you shouldn't be eating it!!
It's dog food, young Lady.
Oh-no; did I *forget* to add that li'l detail??
...darnit. :o)
Yea-yea...we oldsters are merely planning for our futures, Mud.
That's all; pay us no mind.
Right sultan? "SHEEEESH, I'll never understand this older generation..."
We're counting on that, Mud; yes, we really are.
...& *praying* your bank account holds out for just a *few* more years? {g}
"That contest was ages ago. Is this your normal pattern for paying off your debts?? Landru, are you listening to this????"
Yes, I'm listening.
~& I'm disssssGusted.
"How long are you willing to wait for that Virginny ham and brewskies you have been promised???"
I'm not.
On 12 midnight of a *certain* day -- as witnessed by my Judge -- that bet had better be here on my doorstep.
"As for me, I expect my catered 'night on the town' to occur shortly after the final gun at the Super Bowl."
Au contraire' my good sultan; this "Judge" will be watching (like a hawk) for when the Deadskins are mathematically unable to equal *or* surpass the Steelers.
Could happen a lot sooner than you think; so, get your hat, cane, & dancing shoes ready.
Say you sound as though you missed my *lecture* to the young man concerning the huge difference between one being a Deadskins fan & one being a pedestrian, run-of-the-mill deadbeat.
Yes; credit ratings are at stake, here.
...poor Timesink; should've got himself a Judge.
Har! Isn't that kinda like the waiter/waitress/bellhop that's between movie gigs? Second novel MYA$$! Maybe he could get on as a senate page.
BTW, Annie IS mean......in a nice sorta way ; )
