God, I love Anne!

[wingnuts'nbolts]

I do admire this woman's ability to cut to the chase!!!

But we've got liberals on the record: The New York Times claims that no matter how heinous their behavior, people with low IQs have "little understanding of their moral culpability."

Actually, the NYTimes may well have special expertise in heinous behaviour, low IQ and moral irresponsibility. For once, we should listen to them.

Dear Ms. Coulter -

As noted in the excellent new book, " Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right,"

Geez, Ann, I don't mind if you plug your book, but don't you think it might be more honest to admit, just in passing, that you wrote the darn thing?

[WarSlut]

I once thought that Coulter would become irrelevent after Clinton was out of the picture.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Sorry I ever underestimated you, Ann. You're fantastic.

In other words, Atkins avoids his capital sentence if he is at least smart enough to know how to fail an IQ test.
While I don't have much faith in the psychiatric community, I think they might employ different methods than a simple IQ test in this case.
Plus you can look at past history to determine retardness -- if he's normal up until he gets caught then he isn't retarded. There's nothing in the SC ruling that says how to determine retardedness.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Have a sense of humor.

[Dead Dog]

I think she assumes her readers know about this, and it was ment with humor.

[TexasNative2000]

Your point is so intelligent, it helps to confirm the basis of the essay - a rather clever device on Ann's part to subtly prove her point.

[patton]

So - you think it was - tongue-in-cheek?

Quite possible, given the source. I doubt anybody reading it would not catch the omission.

I heard Ann on Hannity's radio show yesterday, and she plugged FR twice. Nice lady.

Ann Coulter ... tongue-in-cheek - nevermind.

As noted in the excellent new book, " Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right,"

Geez, not even Clinton would sink to so low a level of crass self-promotion.

[RAY]

Give 'em hell Ann!

[marron]

While I don't have much faith in the psychiatric community,

The point is, before this ruling, your fate was up to a jury of your peers, and the relative skill of your attorney. Now, your fate depends on the judgement of a court appointed psychologist, who may or may not be gullible, may or may not be willing to game the system to avoid signing someone's death warrant. May or may not be willing to stand up to accusations of bias or heartlessness.

In fact, where do you go to find a psychologist who is willing to sign a death warrant?

[marron]

crass self-promotion.

Who on Planet Freep does not know Ann wrote Slander?

[Pokey78]

Ping for the ACPL.

[Balding_Eagle]

I think it's called dry humor. Many people, but evidently not all, understand it.

[RAT Patrol]

Ann's IQ is very high!

[Gritty]

The New York Times claims that no matter how heinous their behavior, people with low IQs have "little understanding of their moral culpability."

No wonder the NY Times is supporting this idiotic decision. This is a perfect description of Liberals!

Re: Ann plugging her new book, you have failed to grasp her sense of humor. Try to envision her saying this on TV and you'll get the joke.
