FINALLY! MAINSTREAM
MEDIA SKEWER COULTER

From the Houston Chronicle editorial board:

Trading in hate

After her crude and vicious comments attacking a group of 9/11 widows in her latest book and on TV this week, perhaps the public needs some eyedrops to clear Coulter out of its field of vision. Even in a country where people thrive by saying the most outlandish things, Coulter has stretched the limits of acceptable opinion voiced by people who expect to be taken seriously. At one time or another she has suggested the forced conversion of Muslims to Christianity, the bombing of the New York Times building, the shooting of former President Clinton and the poisoning of a Supreme Court justice. Perhaps because her only threatening aspect is her tongue, and her willowy blonde appearance attracts television viewers, Coulter has enjoyed widespread exposure in mainstream media that generally shy away from providing platforms for extremist rhetoric from either the right or the left.

And

In an interview Tuesday with Matt Lauer on NBC's Today, the show host questioned Coulter closely about her description of four New Jersey widows who banded together to successfully campaign for the creation of the 9/11 Commission. Lauer read a passage from Coulter's new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, in which she stated that "these broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." The widows, Kristen Breitweiser, Patty Casazza, Monica Gabrielle, Mindy Kleinberg and Lorie Van Auken, who together have seven children, replied: "Contrary to Ms. Coulter's statements, there was no joy in watching men we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again. We adored those men and miss them every day."

I've known about the androgynously good looking Ann Coulter's ejaculations of trash-talking sophistry in grand high school debate style for some years now. The liberal meme about her is that she's essentially a Nazi, a perfect Aryan specimen in fact, but for some reason the corporate media keep treating her as though she actually has a legitimate point of view. It's probably because she's a Nazi, really. Anyway, this controversy kind of took me by surprise for pretty much the same reason that the NSA wiretapping controversy did: Coulter's been this big of a fascist bitch for years, just as the Bush administration has been violating civil liberties for years; why get angry now? I suppose that the 9/11 widows are just too sacred of a cow for the mainstream to tolerate their bashing. But really that's no excuse. The corporate media should have sent her to South America, to be with other Nazi retirees and tin-plated dictators, long ago. Instead, they keep calling her for guest appearances on pundit shows. I mean, it's nice that they've finally figured out about her jackboots and swastikas and all, but why did they have to wait for so long?

I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Whatever the hell that means.
