her characterization of the men at NR seems accurate to me. Can you explain why every conservative commentator on television under the age of 45 seems effeminate?

Well, there she is spot on accurate. I don't know why that is other than it is a general cultural thing. To be a big time pundit, you have to live in New York or DC. Who, other than the limp wristed and mentally ill, wants to do that?

New Canaan. Greenwich. Darien. It's all the same thing. Different zipcode maybe, but the same ole' crap. Northeastern elitist yuppie scum pretending to be authentic hardcore conservative

You know nothing of what you speak. They don't pretend to be conservative at all, they are pretending when they even say that they are Republicans. In an environment like this, those who dare call themselves conservatives are as conservative as they come.

Anyone who's a conservative and as intelligent as she is is OK in my book.

IMO, she has neither an above average intellect nor writing skills. How bright to you have to be to provide the Geraldo audience with sound legal commentary?

What is it with you? One of Ann Coulter's columns has 20 times more truth in it than most writers get to in a year.

Sounds like you have a problem with successful women, even conservatives.

I do agree with you. She should marry Matt Drudge and produce a few hypersmart conservative investigative children. But she's only allowed to miss 3 columns per pregnancy. No exceptions.

Bright enough to hold your own, and then some, when outnumbered by liberals 2-1 and 3-1.

If Tucker Carlson is a conservative, I'm Ronald Reagan.

You need your eyes checked, Bud. Who's more effeminate, Hannity or Colmes? Fred Barnes (okay, he's over 45) or Mort Kondracke (so is he)? Tony Snow or Jeff Birnbaum(sic)?

Allright, you got one on Hannity and Colmes. Even though Hannity is dumb as a box of rocks, he definitely doesn't strike me as a sissy. Prettyboy, maybe, but no sissy.

Fred Barnes? Are bespectacled, well-coifed suburban dads the benchmark for manliness these days? I would put $50 on MorTON to KO Freddie the Beetle in the third round. And what is the big ideological difference between the two anyway??

Tony Snow? Are you KIDDING? While I wouldn't put any money on Birnbaum doing it, one would get little resistance after bitch-slappin' that gigglin' little schoolgirl, Tony Snow.

And, even if I conceded that the liberal is more effeminate in each case, that doesn't make the conservative manly, just less effeminate.

Speaking of jumping to conclusions, have you stopped beating your wife and children, and torturing your pets yet?

Nope, still rockin'.

Opinions are like "ouroboroses" - everybody's got one.

It's a hard thing to judge someone's intellect from afar. Are you personally acquainted with Ms. Coulter? If not, your opinion is tripe.

As for her writing skills, I've read a few words in my lifetime, and her stuff is right up there. NMS.

Oh, I think I do.

Ah yes, lying low until the revolution comes, huh? BULLBUTTER.

Not everyone can be Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, or George W. Bush.

And I sure don't see why you think Hannity is dumb. He's done as much for conservatism by routinely grinding Alan Colmes and liberal guests into the ground as just about anybody. I'll take 100 more "dumb guys" like him any time.

BTW, I think you would enjoy Glenn Beck, a usually-conservative talk-show guy who has recently gone national. He does some great skits. His shows are archived at glennbeck.com if he's not on in your area. I think he would pass your masculinity test.

I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that this is a liberal place, through and through. It is fashionable to be liberal in every respect. That fact does not mean that there are no conservatives, it means that those who are, and proclaim themselves such, are real conservatives.

Northeastern elitist yuppie scum pretending to be authentic hardcore conservative. I'm not buyin' it!

This whole thing is just a little family squabble among the war party. It is nothing more than a sideshow: Lenin or Trotsky, you pays your quarter and you gets your choice. I'll "just say no".

Yep, that's it. Good work. I'm busted. Big misogynist over here!

I see how it works: Criticize a black -- you're a racist. Criticize a Jew -- you're an antisemite. Criticize a conservative -- you're a liberal.

I do agree with you. She should marry Matt Drudge and produce a few hypersmart conservative investigative children.

I don't know how good that's gonna work. I don't believe one can get pregnant via the kind of sex Drudge is fond of.

Ann's official apology:

"I was incorrect when I referred to the editors at the National Review as 'girlie-boys.' I meant to say 'eunuchs.' "

"I hope this clears the air."

It doesn't take a genius to beat Alan Colmes. Colmes is like all those guys Tyson fought early on. Colmes is Gerry Cooney. He is set up to take the fall. Ailes designed it that way. The whole purpose of the show is to make Hannity look good and he still comes off like a moron.
