NEW YORK Columnist Ann Coulter made a provocative remark Friday about "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau and editorial cartoonist Ted Rall. Trudeau is shrugging it off, but Rall is considering a lawsuit.

Coulter reportedly said Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.: "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times have made submissions."

I'm sure she's shaking.

Likely not. And a suit like this might help her career as pundit, as it seems to have done Janet Malcolm. On the other hand she might prefer not to spend the next few years as Malcolm did. And she might lose, depending on the jurisdiction.

[F16Fighter]

Let that little pr*ck try it.

[Smokin' Joe]

But that is the way with libs; all one way; theirs.

Maybe you have hit on the reason for the libs pro-muzzie sympathies. Just wait until they find out the worldviews are incompatible once their usefulness wears out.

No, Bobby, that is not what they meant when they said "...everybody must get stoned".

Let the fool sue.  His legal bill will be much higher than Ann Coulter's bill... Unless of course he's also an attorney like Ann, but I doubt it.

[fish hawk]

I hope this goes to court and Ted wins and the judge awards him one cent. He will come out looking like the Ass that he is.

[bboop]

Let's get Bush to put Ann Coulter in as Press Secretary.

[goldstategop]

He wants to sue let him. He's not worth any one's time of day. Hey, he just draws cartoons.

He was comparing "Charlie" becoming teacher to Bush becoming President. He claims to be one of the smart kids who is nice to the retard.

[pepperhead]

I find it disgusting.

[xp38]

Watch out...Ann may sue you

[ashtanga]

By the way, Ted, I too have decided to admit publicly that I won't be sending any weirdbeard revisionist cartoons about the Final solution to Tehran newspapers. I will keep shouting it from the rooftops. Thank you.

[longtermmemmory]

by announcing he is consssssiiiiiiidering, he can milk some PR out of this.

THEN coulter can bring into court all the anti-american cartoons Rall has done.

stupid is as stupid does.

[Theo]

he can do cartoons to jab others, but no one can touch him?

You nailed it. Rall is a crybaby.

[weegee]

I've never known Ted Rall to be nice to President Bush. I've also never known Ted to be smart.

[Popman]

Ted Rall-----------So how does it feel to have the shoe on your foot?

Your "cartoons" are so inflammatory and over the top you have absolutely no right to complain one iota.

[FormerLib]

Besides, it's her lightning-fast brain and killer wit that the liberals fear most!

And those are gifts straight from God!

[Our man in washington]

If she does sue, it won't be like 1969.

This time, the cute blonde sinks the guy named Ted!

[hgro]

Ted Rall can dish it out but can't take it. Trudeau is no slacker in character asassination either but at least has brains enough to know they both earned the comment.

[w1andsodidwe]

Your dictionary entry may be correct, but the results for "defense" prove your original point much better than the "defence" that was originally used. And aren't the results the important thing?

Also, the Freeper spell check for posting, does not recognize that spelling.

[Tallguy]

Hey Ted, it's called "satire" you schmuck! Jeeze, why do we have to explain this to a political cartoonist for pete's sake.
