Let me ask you this: when, prior to last week, was the last time you heard of the Jersey Girls? I cant give a definite answer, which in itself is telling. Not that I was paying any large amount of attention, but there was a lot of noise in between the Afghan and Iraqi campaigns, intense media play building up to the 2004 election, which they did their damndest to throw to Kerry, and then nothing.
Theyd shot their bolt, they had their fifteen minutes and more, and that was the end of it. Until last week when Ann Coulter, acting unilaterally, put them back on the front pages with an attack so obnoxious that it immediately (and unjustly it was the Girls themselves, after all, who debased their victim status for political purposes) threw all sympathy in their direction. A free ticket to a second act. Not to mention providing Madame Hillary with an opportunity to pose as, of all things, the defender of civility.
Thanks a lot, Ann.
Conservatives used to be known for this kind of thing. Much of this was the medias doing at any conservative gathering, be it a gun show or a political convention, reporters will make a beeline for the guy in full camo gear or wearing two dozen anti-UN buttons. But conservatives played their part.
The classic figure here is Coulters idol, Joe McCarthy. Bellowing about Communists you couldnt produce (and it cannot be repeated often enough that McCarthy bagged nobody the Party infiltrators had been cleaned out by the time he showed up) was bad enough. Doing it in an ill-cut Chicago gangland suit with a five-oclock shadow and fifth of Jim Beam under your belt simply turned it into a circus.

This is BS.
The Left is going to bring these whack jobs out at every opportunity as they feel it suits their purposes. That is/was always part of the plan.
The 2008 Campaign has already seen a lot of planting. You'd have to be an idiot not to realize that these Jersey Shrews are not going away anytime soon.
They are just Left Wing seedlings waiting to be harvested in the 2008 campaign. They'll be resurrected in short order by the lame stream media with a simple nod from the Democrat Party. Who is this guy trying to kid?
Ann Coulter is way ahead of these fools, and they are mighty pissed about that.
It will all be more evident in the next 18 months or so for you folks who can't see things plainly without a guide dog.
And according to the secondary definition of the word "enjoy" I think most of us would agree.
But let's face it, language is for communication, and a communication expert like Ann Coulter should have known what she said would cause the controversy it has.
Good comparison. Rush will never, ever have the same polish as Buckley, but after working on his "brief" for awhile he can present good, solid arguments and he is good at coining phrases.
We won't see the likes of Buckley again anytime soon.
Personally, I'd rather read FR -- and what my fellow Americans think -- than listen to the current crop of media gas bags on the left or right.
I'm off to work.
Take care all.
Just watched Ann on Hannity and Colmes and she made a complete idiot out of the Liberal bitch that was on against her. The best part of the show for me though was when Alan said something and Ann said, "Alan, your're smarter than that! and Alan came back with, " no I'm not". I laughed right out loud. Colmes finally told the truth. LOL

Wow, so you watched the re-runs twice too?
But occasionally that style serves and I think it did here.
Sure, the "widows" time was past but the author of this article misses that Ann attacked the media for propagandizing the "widows". That is just an historical fact, and the media defensively attacking Ann for pointing it out hurts them, not her- or us.
Cheers anyway! (Chardonnay here. Grappa later)
I sat here and read over 300 posts and came to the conclusion that we have to be more like the Rats. We need compassion, sensitivity, style and caring. Perhaps we can get Shumer to put a bullet between her eyes. If he can get away with it.
I hope everyone realizes that was my attempt at humor.
Ann is my hero.
You really are a dimbulb, aren't you. Too bad. The only wits you displayed demonstrate either that you cannot or willfully refuse to get what I was saying. Such is life.
Well, at least we end on what I take to be a good note. You're right. That's cool. :)
good post at 268
Go Ann!
we are three hours earlier than Calif. and six hours earlier than the east coast.
Actually, we don't, which in my opinion is part of the problem. The left is far better at it. If your statement were true, the counterparts on the right to the Jersy girls for instance, would have been as heavily touted in the conservative media. They weren't.
And btw, the left takes care of the victims they use as symbols, while the right, when they do use them, dumps theirs and forgets about them. I and my sibling are prime examples. Paula Jones is another.
When we began, he was an out going mayor. Now he is running for re-election as governor.
