Something tells me Ann had this article all ready to go regardless of who the nominee was and just had to insert the correct name.

Yep that is another point, I left off my post above. This article with cosmetic changes could have been written about Edith "Joy" Clement. That is the same tactic that many on the right have accused NARAL etal of doing, ie raising the same canned objections no matter who it was. Of course if this was Ann Coulter's assignment from Karl Rove, then naturally she had this type of column ready regardless of who was nominated.

I very much doubt that anyone gave Ann the go-ahead to write such a snippy, one sizes fits all column. Everyone has bad days and it sounds as though Ann had one. Whomever SHE wanted to be the nominee wasn't, so she had this written out just in case. JMHO

Laura Ingraham went bonkers a bit ago, about Gonzales and there was just NO way, that the president was going to put him up for this opening.
