I don't think Maher's comments you quoted were so bad. I don't watch him. I presume the quote is correct. Anybody can express an opinion about the quality of our leadership. Annie Coulter does it all the time. I never said she couldn't make such comments, or Maher couldn't...it is just that conservatives now understand she is an albatross around their necks. Maher can quote about his belief on Bush's incompetence all day long if he wants...Ann Coulter can also call anyone she wants any names she wants. Coulter's comments will do way more damage to the republicans than Maher's would to whoever it is he supports. (Who is he, anyway?) Why do you think all the blogs I posted blasting Coulter were conservative blogs? Like Hugh Hewitt? Because they get it! The republicans can't win if Ann Coulter is seen as the face of the party. They understand that. Do you? Hey, she just wants to sell books. She doesn't care about conservative ideas. She never has. But she sure fooled you and a bunch of others. For Annie, its about bucks, not ideas. So let her keep talking. Please put her on all the public rostrusms you can. Give her the keynote at the republcian convention. Nothing would make the democrats happier.

Coulter's "Macaca moment" spurs newspapers to drop column In the wake of right-wing pundit Ann Coulter's recent remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference about Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, at least three newspapers -- The Lancaster New Era (Pennsylvania), The Oakland Press (Michigan), and The Mountain Press (Sevierville, Tennessee) -- have decided to drop Coulter's nationally syndicated column from their opinion pages, according to an article on Editor & Publisher's website. A July 2, 2006, New York Post article about allegations of plagiarism in Coulter's last book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, 2006), reported that her column "is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers." Media Matters for America has compiled a confirmed list of daily newspapers that currently carry Coulter's column: mediamatters.org
