... it makes us feel so much better about ourselves!
She has gone from an impassioned conservative advocate to a shrieking harpy.
She's fast becoming the Right-wing Maureen Dowd, except that MoDo was better looking back in the day.
... it makes us feel so much better about ourselves!
I never understood the infatuation with loudmouth attack dog Ann Coulter. Ann lost all crediblity with me when she started DATING a Muslim-American one week after saying we should "invade all Muslim countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christinaity", and then trashed Bush for saying Islam was a religion of peace. Her worshippers on the right are just as bad as the die hard Michael Moore-ons on the left.
I miss Barbara Olsen.
"As I said previously, Ann has jumped the shark.
She has gone from an impassioned conservative advocate to a shrieking harpy."
"Luvya Dubya" sycophants have perverted the conservative movement into a personality cult which rivals that of Kim Jong Il.

Imagine that, this jerk offer Ann a Royal Audience and she still doesn't know he's alive. The nerve.
Decribing a debate with Ann as fun is simply a pre-debate fantasy of this pin head.
If there's a God in heaven, please let me be "the shark".
That's exactly what she is now.
That is truly nonsense.
Oh she has not!!!!!!!! So will you just throw overboard every conservative that doesn't worship Bush?
DOn't worry, it's all part of the plan. Get enough "conservatives" to complain about the appointment, and the gerbils on the left will automatically think that Miers must be alright. W is using reverse psychology on them, don't you know?
Ann seems like she has always had a glass of wine or two whenever I hear her on Sean Vanity or Drudge. Come across as Rightintelligentsia.
I am so disappointed that these self-serving classists have the microphone. What a bunch of lousy "team players".
Whatever anybody thinks about W's weaknesses and missteps, he deserves better treatment than this.
If it weren't for him, they'd be getting the opportunity to criticize a guaranteed liberal picked by a President Gore or a President Kerry. Guess that's what they really wanted--someone they can see at the tailgates and class reunions.
As an aside, regarding Dr. Miers, I have heard some really specious argurments. Her age for example. She is 60/61? Why is that EVEN an issue? Justice Stevens is 85 AND is a cancer survivor. Age means nothing. Justice S. Minton retired after seven years on the court, Justice C. Whittaker after five years. Justice F. Murphy died at age 59, Justice W. Rutledge died at age 55. I don't believe age is a reasonable factor on which to make a decision as to if someone should be appointed/confirmed to the USSC.
I'm going to wait until the confirmation hearings before I make a decision on if I support her or not. Was she the *best* choice form my perspective? No, but then neither was Chief Justice J. Roberts. That doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a chance to be heard in the Senate.
Let the shrieking begin here at FR. Anyone that disagrees with the BushBots are turncoats.
I don't think Ivy League degrees allows one to either disregard the rules of grammar or sit on the Supreme Court. I enjoyed Ann's points, like I always do, and they do have some merit. What's more, I admire the fact that you don't need to question where she stands, as she's always direct with her biting sarcasm and parody.
I also think she's justified in her skepticism. She might be a bit premature with her judgment, but her points are valid; I don't recall the last time a "trust me" argument has worked in favor of conservatives.
Third and finally, some jobs are so dirty, you can only send in someone who has the finely honed hatred of liberals acquired at elite universities to do them. The devil is an abstraction for normal, decent Americans living in the red states. By contrast, at the top universities, you come face to face with the devil every day, and you learn all his little tropes and tricks.
Conservatives from elite schools have already been subjected to liberal blandishments and haven't blinked. These are right-wingers who have fought off the best and the brightest the blue states have to offer. The New York Times isn't going to mau-mau them — as it does intellectual lightweights like Jim Jeffords and Lincoln Chafee — by dangling fawning profiles before them. They aren't waiting for a pat on the head from Nina Totenberg or Linda Greenhouse. To paraphrase Archie Bunker, when you find a conservative from an elite law school, you've really got something.
Her argument wasn't all based on his grammar.
