...i don't think national review should have fired her. They didn't. You can't fire someone who doesn't work for you. They stopped carrying her syndicated column.

Exactly!! Ann's remarks were not to be taken at sheer face value, and if the National Review can't understand the symbolic nature of Ann's words, then they are too stupid to be allowed to host her column! They also need to take into consideration the fact that Ann lost a very near and dear friend on 9/11 -- Barbara Olson (BKO, here). Ann was highly upset, and rightly so. I think she showed incredible reserve that soon after the attacks. Ann's column is a political editorial. That means she has every right to express her personal beliefs! The moronic NR could have issued a disclaimer, if they were so concerned about being "PC weenies." They did not have to "fire" her. At any rate, I'm with Ann; I don't want to be associated with people like that either! Hypocrites!! Write on, Ann!! Write on!!
