#1 Or, as I believe our motto should be after 9/11: Jihad monkey talks tough; jihad monkey takes the consequences. Sorry, I realize that's offensive. How about "camel jockey"? What? Now what'd I say? Boy, you tent merchants sure are touchy. Grow up, would you?

You gotta love Ann! An extremely witty attorney (very rare) who's not hard on the eyes, to boot! She has more cojones than many "metrosexual" American men, these days!

#5 Ann Coulter is the Maureen Dowd of the conservative movement. Clever, great at wordplay, highly emotional, ultimately incapable of persuading anyone who doesn't already agree with her.

#7 She shoulda called them Targets, for in the acutal analysis of the substance of what she said, that was her point.

Leave it to the left to appease an armed enemy of America, and to mischaracterize the point she was making.

#8 But you don't indict an entire religion for the rubes amongst them.

Unless it turns out that they're all rubes.

Jihad monkey talks tough; jihad monkey takes the consequences. Sorry, I realize that's offensive. How about "camel jockey"? What? Now what'd I say? Boy, you tent merchants sure are touchy. Grow up, would you?

I remain amazed at how often infantile invective is deemed a suitable replacement for wit or erudition. Grow up, indeed.

c'mon zen, gotta admit there's an 'infantile invective child' buried deep [1/4"] in everyone. »:-)

#11 Never see Coulter in this box.

Dear Abby,

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job four years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does is buy cigars and cruise around and bullshit with his pals, while I have to work to pay the bills.

Since our daughter went away to college, he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I am a lesbian. What should I do?

Signed, Clueless

Dear Clueless:

Grow up and dump him for Pete's sake, you don't need him anymore. You're a United States senator from New York. Act like it!

#12 I know about 100 bloggers and a few Rantburgers as well who are funnier and smarter than Ann Coulter. Why does she get all this attention? She doesn't speak for me, she embarasses me and I'd bet that the number of voters who are repelled from ever giving conservative view points even a perfunctory listen is greater than the number of conservatives she entertains. I am frequently disgusted by the actions of the NYTimes but I don't see any humor in joking that McVeigh out to have blown up 43rd St. That's not squishy political correctness on my part either, that's common sense.
Another bit of common sense: You don't wage war on a billion people. Even if we hawks had a strong consensus to do so at home (which we obviously don't).
You oppose the Nazis, not all Germans. You oppose the Militarists, not all Japanese. You oppose the Soviets, not all Russians. One day, as I hope, we will be rid of the Mullahs and the radical Imams and the tin-pot Assad/Ghaddafi/Saddam/Saud/Mumbarak crime families that mis-rule the Middle East. But there will always be an Ummah where 1 billion people live. Do you want them to be our eternal enemies or can they become our strategic allies, the way that 100 million Japanese are today?
To focus our attack on their race, religion and culture is stupidity of the highest order. War is political and ideological. We need to focus our firepower (political and militarily) the Wahhabist clerical class and corrupt elites who have cynically exploited this cartoon conflict and are the same ones who have fanned the flames of hatred, incitement to violence and indoctrination for the past 3 decades.
I have changed my mind about the reprinting of the cartoons. I orginally felt that all media outlets needed to reprint them. I now feel like this whole "to reprint or not to reprint" debate is taking away the focus from where it should be on the methods and the timeline used by Danish Mullah Laban and his cohorts and allies to spark this outburst and charting the way it spreads. If we're going to use drawings as weapons, we ought to be caricaturing Laban, Qawradawri, HuT, MB, Amhaddenejad, and all the other superstitious old goats who are trying to bend the Islamic world's opinions to their will with their incitement apparatus.

#13 Sorry, 'Moose, we've got to disagree. I think Ann Coulter's insults to the lefties and the Muzzy nutballs are all well-deserved and exactly what they need to send them into frothing rage. The more she goads them, the more ridiculous they sound when they try to hit back or restrict her freedom of speech. Inspiring lefties and Muzzies to make public asses of themselves is always a good thing and I thoroughly approve of it. On top of being extremely bright, quick-witted, and discerning about her enemies, she's also damned good-looking. Brains and beauty; that's a tough combination to beat. Moose, if you took Ann on in person I suspect you'd get your hindquarters handed to you and she'd just laugh all the way to the bank. You've got a losing dog of an argument on this one. Better luck next time.
