Ann Coulter

We have not heretofore cited or linked to the extremely blonde Ann Coulter, for entirely practical reasons: Ms. Coulter is apparently stalked (in cyberspace and the real world) by energetic wingnuts who are driven to distraction that she could possibly, actually, really have SAID . . . . . [fill in the blank]. Like it or not, it is inescapable that this has something to do with the fact that she's not an overweight, bald, middle-aged man.

[We are reminded of a clear analogy to Grace Slick, further exploration of which is inappropriate for this blog. You know what I'm talking about.]

But in the event Ms. Coulter usually has said it, and she's usually right, and it's usually amusing, and the reactions are even more amusing [when they don't take up my bandwidth].

Today, of course, she discusses the nomination of John Roberts, in a piece entitled "Souter in Roberts Clothing." Regarding the likelihood that the usual suspects might actually LIKE any given nominee, she writes:

The only way a supreme court nominee could win the approval of NARAL and Planned Parenthood would be to actually perform an abortion during his confirmation hearing, live, on camera, and preferably a partial birth one.

As to the importance of the nomination in the culture wars, she reminds us:

As I've said before, if a majority of Americans agreed with liberals on abortion, gay marriage, pornography, criminals' rights, and property rights liberals wouldn't need the Supreme Court to give them everything they want through invented "constitutional" rights invisible to everyone but People For the American Way. It's always good to remind voters that Democrats are the party of abortion, sodomy, and atheism and nothing presents an opportunity to do so like a Supreme Court nomination.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming. [And NO, it's not an accident that comments have been disabled.]
