5. its true. that was from the first sentence in her "column"

[UdoKier]

4. Yes. It was an amateurishly written hack piece.

I'm pretty sure they fired her because it wasn't up to their standards, not because of the ideology. It was a pathetic piece.

Buit of course Alan Colmes complimented her that he found it "funny".

extra pathetic.

10. The Coulter piece, as usual,

wasn't funny at all. It was also sloppily written. She spews invective that hard-core right-wingers seem to find funny but others (even many conservatives) find childish.

PJ O'Rourke, on the other hand, is a funny conservative and I'll read him every time. I won't agree with him, but I'll read what he says. Even James Lileks is actually funny sometimes. Ann Coulter is nothing.

6. Yes. USA Today decided

not to run her column which began with references to Democrats as the spawn of Satan. Jonah Goldberg's silly column appears instead in today's paper. There's an article about cancelling Coulter as her column was not funny or informative. She was hired to write for USA Today about the Democratic convention. Michael Moore is on board to write for USA Today during the Republican convention. It was a bad idea to begin with to hire Coulter for this gig. She's not witty. She's just blasphemous. She's like the little kid who says and does outrageous things to get noticed. And she does. USA Today really lowered their standards to hire her. She adds nothing but hate and vitriol. Even Jonah Goldberg is an improvement. And he's no Michael Moore. The conservatives really got short-changed on this deal.

7. DId she lose the gig, or did they just spike the first column? nt

9. They turned it over to a true spawn of satan, lucianne's boy

jonah goldberg. Son of the old school dirty trickster lucianne goldberg, who went deep cover in McGovern's campaign and outed Eagleton for having had electroshock therapy and then masterminded putting linda tripp in the Clinton Whitehouse to prompt a star fucking whore to force herself on The Big Dog.

11. as far as I know, they just didn't run one coumn (nt)

8. Her column was rejected by USA Today. . .

for being subpar and unfunny, but I don't know if she was released from her contract.

I found it amusing that USA Today every thought Ann the Man would reach any standards, even those so low as "America's Newspaper" sets them, but there's no discernment any more (it seems) among most of America's presstitutes.

But though USA Today picked Coulter for the Democratic convention, they redeemed themselves, I understand, by hiring Michael Moore to cover the Republican gathering. Those articles should be both insightful and funny.

12. Wasn't Annthrax fired from a few gigs for subpar work?

I thought National Review canned her for shoddy output, along with a few other places.

Town Hall is where she peddles her goods nowadays, but they are pretty hardcore RW anyways.

[w13rd0]

15. aw, give her a break...

...she's all strung out and dried up.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

13. i thought i heard ann say she was "released from her contract"

[opihimoimoi]

14. That creep is SO Jealous its not funny. You can just see it in her

"writings"...

She is the Wicked Witch of the World....Evil as they come X 1872635400393837465.088
