LOL!!
Ouch!
Well then, you little bag of pus, why did you join the Army?
More pictures! More, More!
Thanks for the two.
“A STATEMENT ON SCOTT THOMAS BEAUCHAMP:
“We’ve talked to military personnel directly involved in the events that Scott Thomas Beauchamp described, and they corroborated his account as detailed in our statement. When we called Army spokesman Maj. Steven F. Lamb and asked about an anonymously sourced allegation that Beauchamp had recanted his articles in a sworn statement, he told us, ‘I have no knowledge of that.’ He added, ‘If someone is speaking anonymously (to The Weekly Standard), they are on their own.’ When we pressed Lamb for details on the Army investigation, he told us, ‘We don’t go into the details of how we conduct our investigations.’ — The Editors”
You have to re read the statement. It was about ‘an anonymously sourced allegation’ that Lamb had no knowledge about.
Must say rather mild of Ann. Not her usual acerbic self.
A great line : )
He joined to give himself credibility - he said so on his own blog. He also happens to be engaged to another reporter on the staff of The New Republic. His whole story stinks to high heaven!
Ann: Beauty and Brains.
Now if I can only find that email that has pictures of all the female liberals...I especially like the one of Queen Kerry with the twisted mouth...
Perhaps the shortest Drive ever Taken. Queen Ann Rox!

Seperated at birth??
Just more Anonymous Sedition at play. What does it mean? Where will it end?
I just love Anne! She can always make me laugh with that laser wit of her, plus the fact that she never backs down!
When I think of the Elizabeth Edwards ambush, I just start laughing. As if Anne were going to crumple in her chair and start crying...
The Iraqi Congress is outperforming Do Nothing Nancy’s Fiasco.

Woo hoo! The Democrats will never recover from it.

In their latest demonstration of how much they love the troops, liberals have produced yet another anti-war hoax.
The New Republic has been running “true war” stories from a brave, anonymous liberal penning dispatches from Iraq. The famed “Baghdad Diarist” described his comrades joyfully using Bradley fighting vehicles to crush stray dogs, mocking a female whose face had been blown off by an IED, and defacing Iraqi corpses by wearing skull parts on their own heads.
Various conservatives began questioning the plausibility of the anonymous diarist’s account — noting, for example, that Bradley vehicles don’t “swerve,” as the diarist claimed. The editor of The New Republic responded by attacking the skeptics’ motives, complaining that some conservatives make “a living denying any bad news that emanates from Iraq.”
But when that clever retort failed to quiet rumblings from the right wing, The New Republic finally revealed the “Baghdad Diarist” to be ... John Kerry! Actually it was Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp, Democratic candidate for president circa 2028. (That gives him 20 years to learn to pronounce “Genghis.”)
In revealing himself two weeks ago, Beauchamp lashed out at “people who have never served in Iraq.” He said he was too busy fighting “an actual war” to participate in “an ideological battle that I never wanted to join.”
He had tried to stay out of ideological battles by writing made-up articles in a national magazine claiming soldiers in Iraq had become callous beasts because of George Bush’s war, killing to “secure the riches of the empire.” Alas, this proved an ineffective method of keeping his head low. Beauchamp’s next bid for privacy will be an attempt to host “The Price Is Right.”
In response to Beauchamp’s revelation that he was the “Baghdad Diarist,” the military opened an investigation into his allegations. There was no corroboration for his stories, and Beauchamp promptly signed an affidavit admitting that every single thing he wrote in The New Republic was a lie.
According to The Weekly Standard’s Michael Goldfarb — who has led the charge of those who “make a living denying any bad news that emanates from Iraq” — Maj. Steven F. Lamb, the deputy public affairs officer for Multi-National Division-Baghdad, said this of the Baghdad diarist:
“An investigation has been completed and the allegations made by Pvt. Beauchamp were found to be false. His platoon and company were interviewed and no one could substantiate the claims.”
In response, The New Republic went into full Dan Rather loon mode. This astonishing post showed up on The New Republic Web site on Tuesday afternoon:
“A STATEMENT ON SCOTT THOMAS BEAUCHAMP:
“We’ve talked to military personnel directly involved in the events that Scott Thomas Beauchamp described, and they corroborated his account as detailed in our statement. When we called Army spokesman Maj. Steven F. Lamb and asked about an anonymously sourced allegation that Beauchamp had recanted his articles in a sworn statement, he told us, ‘I have no knowledge of that.’ He added, ‘If someone is speaking anonymously (to The Weekly Standard), they are on their own.’ When we pressed Lamb for details on the Army investigation, he told us, ‘We don’t go into the details of how we conduct our investigations.’ — The Editors”
It’s good to see Mary Mapes is working again.
What on earth is going on? Either the military investigation found that Beauchamp lied or it didn’t. Either military personnel corroborated stories of soldiers wearing skulls as crowns or they didn’t. Either Army spokesman Maj. Steven Lamb gave a statement to The Weekly Standard or he didn’t.
At the same time as The New Republic was posting the above statement, which completely contradicted The Weekly Standard’s update, renowned right-wing news outlet ABC News confirmed that the military has concluded that Beauchamp was writing “fiction.” ABC also quoted Goldfarb’s account and said that Maj. Lamb reiterated his statement that Beauchamp’s stories were false to ABC. The New York Times had the same story on Wednesday.
The New Republic has gone mad. Perhaps the magazine brought its former employee, fantasist Steven Glass, out of retirement. It’s long past time for The New Republic to file for intellectual Chapter 7. Arthur Andersen was implicated in fewer frauds.
And we wonder how Democratic congressmen can lie about a vote they lost on the floor of the House — captured on CSPAN for all the world to see — changing the vote so that they win.
America’s imminent victory in Iraq and safety from terrorist attacks at home is driving them all crazy.
Yes they are. More pro-american too.
Nice pics, hope she get on the SCOUSA someday. Never happen but that would be sweet.

I wonder how the rest of the platoon took the news that they were a bunch of goons? I bet he feels a little nervous around them now. What a jackass!
Faggotesque.
Both of them.
He should be stripped of his uniform sent home naked with a pair panties on his head.
Both of them.
Melodramatic, 5th column dandies...
Ann Coulter hits one out of the park again, this time on behalf of the brave soldiers fighting in Iraq.
I like the first pic of Ann. Casual, a classic American beauty, fresh-faced, not needing makeup to be pretty.
Um, I don’t know about this column of A.Coulter’s.
Not going to reach most Dems.
Her biting wit is going to go over their heads.
They will read her column and go, “duh?”
She’d love to be nominated, just to say to Kennedy “We’ll drive off the side of that bridge when we come to it”.
I’d miss work to watch the confirmation hearings. Can you imagine how great it would be to watch her run circles around those idiots?
If I were President, I’d nominate Ann Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham and Robert Bork. Then I’d throw in Miguel Estrada and Charles Pickering and Priscilla Owens. The last three would get confirmed for fear of a recess appointment of Judge Ann Coulter.

Can you say, Don’s Ask Don’t Tell?? Bochump looks like Weasly Clark’s personal “valet”!

I spent yesterday at a concert with a National Guardsman, back from iraq, and being redeployed in December. According to him, the worst thing they did was they once gave out some rations that included some type of pork product to some Iraqis after they lost one of their guys to a IED.
I think Private Beauchamp joined the Army in order to provide himself some 'street cred' when writing negative stories.
“He should be stripped of his uniform sent home naked with a pair panties on his head.”
I must strongly disagree. He’d probably enjoy it too much.
LOL!
Of course it is.
If you belong to the party that keeps reelecting a Senator that walked away from a drowning girl.
In the 2nd picture, are those two guys....one behind and one on her left...bodyguards?
I hope the Soldiers from Beauchamp’s unit SUE THE HELL OUT of the New Republic!
Semper Fi,
Kelly
In the one pic, the man on Ann’s left.... I have seen Ann Coulter three times at CPAC and that guy has always been at her elbow during signature sessions... Ann Coulter’s bodyguard... I’d like to apply for that position!
A little clarification for Ann. The feds ran a perfectly good firm out of business; Anderson was initially found guilty of a felony, which precluded the firm from practicing their main business, auditing. Subsequently, that verdict was overturned, as I recall.
Ann’s got a hammer out.
I am glad Anne is taking precautions, the dem looney fringe is definitely desperate.
