Coulter’d
I’m sorry, I’m really trying to scrape up some umbrage at Ann Coulter for her comments regarding The Jersey Girls. Yeah, I know it was kinda on the uncouth side.
I guess I’m just sick and tired of the double-standard in the public discourse today, where the Left can say whatever the h*ll it wants while conservatives are held to this arbitrary standard whereby they are pilloried not just for what they say, but for how it can be (mis)construed.
Example of the former: Robert Byrd, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Hillary Clinton.
Examples of the latter: Trent Lott, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, Dan Quayle.
As I often say to my wife when her suspicious mind begins to work overtime where I’m concerned:
(In hurt tones) “Dear, my real screw-ups are bad enough, without accusing me of stuff I didn’t do!”
If a conservative is going to get pilloried every time he or she says something that can be twisted around in ways they didn’t intend, then Ann Coulter might as well just come right out and say what she thinks without worrying about weighing her words.
What she said might have been rude.
But what she said was nevertheless correct.

I agree totally,Ann Is just saying it like it is.
I am happy to know that she has found the way to make her voice and her views heard.these are rude times…Pelosi,Reid, Kennedy,Helen Thomas have their say….Colter speaks for me.

good stuff i agree, everyones jumping on this chance to try to bash her, just because they are in pain over the tragedy does not give them the right to say anything and not get refuted on it, shouldnt these women be mad at the terrorists and not bush, i dont get it, or maybe they should be mad at airport security or sumthing, i dont know all the details but ann countered them with a bit of an extreme statement but i believe she obviously said it to make a point not to make the case that these women actually enjoyed it
