Of course it’s petty…that’s why it makes me smile

Drudge is running a story re Ann Coulter’s column for USA Today. Seems they spiked it for being ‘unusable’ and ‘not funny.’ This should not come as a surprise. Drudge does offer a nice photo, tho’. Contemplative, martyred, almost, dare I say it? Human.

But you gotta give her credit. Even in the face of an embarassment like this, she’s still got her sense of humor:

“Apparently no one at USA TODAY had ever read Ann Coulter before!” Coulter, who has sold nearly a million copies of her various works and his written a syndicated column for five years, said from Boston.

  1. Mixed feelings.
    Oh good – that probably means they really have hired Michael Moore to cover the Republican convention! *rubs hands*
    Oh curse – if Ann Coulter’s been spiked, does that mean they’ll have to unhire Moore?
    I mean, sure, Coulter is a nutter. (Far more of a nutter than Moore.) But surely that was half the fun? Her critiques of the Democrat convention were bound to be so over-the-top and hysterical that Democrats with a sufficiently sick sense of humor (and God knows they’ve have three-and-a-half years to develop one) would probably enjoy them.
    I would wish the same for Republicans on Moore’s reports, but Republicans haven’t had the same incentive to develop a sick sense of humor. 😉

  2. Could the vast liberal media conspiracy be more brazen in its fascistic control of the weak American mind? To maintain its ill-gotten hegemony it must crush the patriot Coulter’s opportunity to speak truth to its terrible power.

  3. as long as we’re being petty, I’m breaking my general rules against 1) saying anything about Ann Coulter (too easy) and 2) reprinting stuff I write on other weblogs….

    As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it’s because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council’s approval. Plus, it’s no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call “women” at the Democratic National Convention.

    It’s true, it’s all true! I eat corn. I wear cotton and wool and sometimes, in the summer, sandals. I need those cool breathable fabrics to keep cool in spite of my massive quantities of body hair.
    I am a chick pie wagon. I don’t know what that means, but it has the cold ring of unwanted but undeniable truth. I don’t need a bra because my chest has shrivelled to match my hatred for this country and its soldiers.
    I lost my first love because the Chinese premiere vetoed our relationship, and who were we to disobey?
    I just thank God USA Today was able to suppress the awful truth so the whole country didn’t find out.
    (On the other hand, I don’t have an Adam’s apple.)
    P.S. Oh wait, did I say “thank God”? I meant “thank the dark Goddess Hecate, to whom all liberals have sworn allegiance.”

  4. Wow, was that an excerpt from Coulter’s USA Today contribution? Have to give credit to the editors. It is ‘unusable’ and ‘not funny’

  5. My first thought was ‘maybe she’ll have some empathy now with Whoopi’ but then i laughed and remembered that was only how my species would react.
