So the other day I was walking around in the grocery store when I noticed out of the corner of my eye Ms. Coulter's newest hate-filled screed. I've already read a few portions of her "book" and while it's somewhat amusing to watch Ms. Coulter furiously attack her strawmen, I think it's a bit tasteless honestly. So I haven't been back in that store. It's gotten to the point where keeping Ann Coulter around says alot more about you and your business than you'd really rather it did.
So I turn to
Editor and Publisher and here's an article about Ms. Coulter. It seems that she's been dropped from several papers recently. Even stranger is the apparent glee that publishers are letting her go with:
"Ann Coulter is gone from these pages... gone like the leaves in December, like the fringes of the polar ice caps, like the last vestiges of Tom Cruise's rational mind.
We began running her column last August in an effort to widen the playing field, so to speak, in the discussion on our Voices page. She certainly did that, but in the last few months Ann Coulter has been a very naughty girl indeed."
I just hope we have a bonafide movement here. Ann Coulter and her copycats have done serious damage to political discourse in this country. Without nutjobs like them, the marginally less toxic stuff that Bush and Rove do would look as bad as it really is.
