ANNIE G

Continuing her mad scamper down the media food chain, Ann Coulter has been dumped by USA Today. Apparently the quality of her "reporting" from the Democratic Convention failed to meet even USA Today's standards. Here's a link to the column that got her the boot, including editor's notes. I expect that soon Coulter will be hired and fired by the Weekly World News for failing to meet their standards of accuracy, after which she will finally accept her true calling and become a guard at a women's prison.

Part of me has always believed that Ann is a brilliant leftist performance artist, sort of a conservative, blonde Ali G, sending up American conservatism by taking it to its logical, hateful extremes. And even if she hasn't done it intentionally, she's served that purpose quite well.
