Funny you should ask what Ann meant by 'female taunting'. It's extremely significant that Lev Grossman, Interviewer par Extraordinaire (/sarcasm) had to ask what she meant. Ann's reply was that her readers would know what she meant. In other words, Grossman just exposed the fact that he hadn't even bothered to read her book before sitting down to this 'penetrating interview'. In her book, Ann continually says the Democrats/liberals are always doing 'girly whining' and calls them 'girlie girls', not men. She pretty much emasculates liberals. THATs what she means by 'female taunting'--the equivalent of 'neener neener neener' from supposedly grown men-leaders.

So "female taunting" is in her book and the interviewer doesnt know that term meaning he didnt read a page?

Ann is exactly right about Democrat men being emasculated. And that is why no decent, self-respecting Southern man today would refer to himself as a "Southern Democrat." Take a look at some of the Southern Democrats today -- wimpy Al Gore and John Edwards. Doesn't that just say it all!

Needless to say, I am a major fan of Ann's. She and the late Barbara Olsen are women I admire so much because they've had the courage to very publicly take on the Liberal establishment, endure the Libs' insults and smear tactics, yet always prevail as articulate, intelligent, beautiful ladies. And Katherine Harris of Florida is another brilliant Republican lady with a great political future ahead of her.

They are such a contrast to the tough-as-nails, mannish Hillary Clinton and phony Tipper Gore.
