My take: You don't go around calling your editors "girly-boys". That's not polite, civil disagreement. It's simply inflammatory.
I think Ann's a great columnist and says a lot of things that need to be said, but comments about her personal disagreements with Goldberg & Co. should be addressed to them, not to Maher on PI.
BTW, I think that the "convert to Christianity" bit was spot on.

She is better than them. [ Unlike Maher ]

Ann's great, but I disagree that we should convert them to Christianity. We should kill them, and bury them with rotten pig carcasses, which will apparently prevent them from going to see Allah.

" My e-mail to Nat'l Review. " Dear Mr. Lowry, I understand that you have dropped Ann Coulter as a contributor to your magazine. Just so you know, I am removing National Review Online from my favorites, I will no longer read your magazine or have access to your advertisers. If your commitment to conservatism and it's brightest voices is that shallow, then so is my commitment to your publication. Although her comments were tough, they were, as is often the case with Ann, right on the money. I am sorry you don't see that. Regards,
p.s. You should check out what your fellow conservatives around the country are saying about you. Try FreeRepublic.com, I think you'll see I am not alone in my feelings. " "

National Review didn't "fire" Ann Coulter. They are simply choosing not to run her SYNDICATED column anymore, which you can read many, many places. JewishWorldReview.com, Townhall.com and one of my local papers carry her column. Now, what they did to JOE SOBRAN, that was a firing. This is nothing. NRO isn't really in the habit of running a lot of syndicated material. They have their own writers. They don't need to buy her sophmoric stuff.

I had NOT even heard this. My respect for NRO has just plummeted.
Call me a romantic, but if I could ever find an Ann Coulter out there, my life would be complete..

You don't go around calling your editors "girly-boys". But editors are supposed to respect truth.

Has NR published any statement about their decision? I couldn't find anything on their site.

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."
