Would Ann Coulter have any material if the New York Times shut down for a month? I love her columns but it seems as if nearly every one of them boils down to lambasting something she read in the Times.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel. With an AK-47. Repeatedly...
LOL! Great minds think alike.

Someone else recently used a similar metaphor to describe Ann, from:

Coulter] 'I love to pick fights with liberals'

'I love to pick fights with liberals'

(Filed: 19/07/2002)

Right-wing broadcaster Ann Coulter captured the belligerent mood of America after September 11. Toby Harnden meets her in enemy territory
-- snip --
She has also been a big hit on television since the Clinton scandals broke. Totally fearless, relentlessly combative and unwilling to brook any talk of mushy compromise, Miss Coulter is the ultimate pin-up for the militia crowd.
It all happened by accident, she says, happily. "It really was just God looking down and saying: 'We've got enough lawyers, I'm putting you on TV'."
Now she is sitting pretty at the top of the New York Times bestseller list with her second book, Slander, a devastating diatribe against the Left and all its works - the New York Times in particular.
Coulter's approach is not so much take no prisoners as capture one's opponents, string them up with piano wire, machine-gun them until all movement has ceased and then fire a celebratory volley into the air...

You GO, girl!

What she does, she does very well. And I realize the NYT is the table-setter for a lot of their journailistic brethren. But really, how difficult is it to cut the words of Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and that old coot who recently retired (forget his name right now) at the NYT to ribbons so everyone can see how shallow and slanted they are?

Just once, I'd like to see her spend a whole column castrating William Raspberry or Ted Turner or Peter Jennings like she can the Times. Just for the change of pace.
