Coulter's Out Word from USA Today spies: Coulter is being replaced with another conservative columnist. No word who it is yet... Apparently, they're drowning in hate-mail from Freepers. As with NRO, she's trashing her editors publicly rather than agreeing to an edit. One look at her column-- which she's posted here, with editorial notes-- makes it clear why it wasn't suitable for USA Today: it's written as if for Coulter's usual audience, who eat up her invective-- not for a general readership. Of course, USA Today shouldn't have hired her if they didn't want an Ann Coulter column, or at least should have been clearer on their standards before they signed the contract. Will they have similar problems with Michael Moore? It wouldn't be much of a surprise. UPDATE: Drudge says on his mainpage that they're replacing Coulter with Jonah Goldberg; my USA Today source confirms this. He's an entertaining writer who'll play well for a general audience, but a suitable foil for Michael Moore? No way. Perhaps if they replace Moore with, say, Al Franken. johntabin.com
