Ann Coulter’s newest column now posted here

image I’m sure our Ann Coulter is still feeling the love from her TIME magazine cover this week.  I just picked my copy up and as Ann has been saying in the media lately, it hardly looks like her at all—it’s all distorted, she looks like she’s about 4 inches across at her widest point, and her legs look like toothpicks with big honkin’ shoes stuck on them. 

It hardly looks like Ann Coulter, yet I still remember TIME’s cover when they had Yasser Arafat’s mug on there, and they actually made him look good!  Fidel Castro?  Same thing—a hunk!  They accomplished the impossible!  But attractive Ann Coulter, conservative—they made her look like a Martian.  Nice.  And thanks, TIME, for the further confirmation. 

Anyway, this week Ann isn’t even on that topic.  She’s on about the court trial which she wasn’t invited to, but perhaps she should have been, because it was about her, entirely.

It’s in our Columnist section.  Here’s a snippet:

After my column last week, in which I noted that there had been a spate of food attacks on conservative speakers on college campuses within weeks of charges being dismissed against the “Deliverance” boys who threw pies at me at the University of Arizona, the prosecutor said it was my fault. (This column gets results!) David Berkman, chief criminal deputy in the office of Democrat Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall, told the Arizona Daily Star that charges had to be dismissed because I didn’t show up for the trial.

Of course, it’s hard to know what anyone said in this country based on newspaper accounts. The actual statements people make are filtered through reporters, who, as we know, are generally unexecutable in this country under Atkins v. Virginia (holding the death penalty for mentally retarded persons unconstitutional).

Is the prosecutor a phony or the reporter a moron? In other words, is this a “Jeffrey Toobin situation” or a “Dan Rather situation”? We report, you decide.
