USA TODAY SPIKES ANN COULTER COLUMN AT CONVENTION

USA Today editors have spiked a daily convention column they commissioned from conservative controversialist Ann Coulter, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Coulter filed her first report from Boston Sunday night, only to be told hours later that editors found it "unusable" and "not funny."

"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.

What Cheney'in idiots! Never read her columns before - yeah right - tell me another one. BTW, Sludge says Michael Moore has been hired by USA Today to do the Repug convention.

1. Good.
The difference between the two is MM actually uses what's called 'facts'.

Coulter just makes shit up.

2. "Coulter, who has sold nearly a million copies of her various works"
And about 900,000 of those books were bought by Olin/Scaife money and sitting in a storage depot somewhere outside of Pittsburgh.

4. Ann Coulter!? Unusable!? Not Funny!? **** SHOCK ****
If they're just finding out that Ann Coulter is a shitty writer who is about 51 cards short of a full deck and is about as funny as a fuckin' root canal, then maybe they HAVEN'T ever read her stuff before.

7. Good!
Normally, I wouldn't be so supportive of someone's speech being cutoff, but Coulter takes it to the next level. She encourages physical violence. Fuck her.

8. Liberal _USA Today_ fires Coulter, just like liberal _National Review_
All she's trying to do is tell the truth (and have a little fun--c'mon! lighten up!) and the lefties can't take it!

(To save righty nimrods some time and effort: just cut and paste the above.)

(You're welcome.)

9. Michael Moore actually has a sense of humor
Coultergiest is just a vile sewer of hatred---like a nazi on a bad day.

US Today should have gotten someone like PJ O'Rourke if they wanted a conservative color commentary on the DNC---conservative, but still human.
