If only liberals were half as angry at the people who flew planes into our skyscrapers as they are with Tom DeLay, we might have two patriotic parties in this country.
Any Republicans who didn’t ferociously defend Tom DeLay—which is to say, almost all Republicans in Congress, the president, and alleged conservative writers trying to impress the editorial board of the New York Times—better hope liberals never come after them. The only proven method for a Republican to avoid having his name turned into a liberal malediction is to be completely ineffective. You’ll notice there’s no “Stop Lamar Alexander Before It’s Too Late” website.
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Ed Meese, Oliver North, Clarence Pendleton, Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Tom DeLay—all these men saw their names used as curse words.
Only one of them was ever indicted. To wit, the comical indictment of DeLay recently brought by political hack Ronnie Earle. To finally get some grand jury to hand up an indictment, Earle had to empanel six grand juries in Austin, Texas, which is like the Upper West Side with more attractive people. In addition, DeLay knows Republican and gambling lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates, who have recently pleaded guilty to various other incomprehensible charges.
Liberals spit out all these names with more venom than they’ve ever been able to muster for names like “Saddam Hussein” and “Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.”
Even proud American corporations find their names being turned into curse words by liberals, such as “Halliburton,” which is currently losing money in Iraq in order to supply food to our troops—you know, the same troops liberals pretend to love (but don’t lose money feeding).
I spent a couple of hours listening to liberal hate radio this week to try to figure out what crime against God and man Tom DeLay is even alleged to have committed. But all I heard was the name “Tom DeLay” and “PRISON!” mentioned in the same sentence over and over again.
Back when Newt Gingrich still scared liberals, the House Ethics Committee spent years probing various charges against him, focusing on the charge that a college class he taught was … partisan! Meanwhile, they’re teaching Marxism in comp lit classes, Islamic terrorism in Indian experience classes, and Druidism in divinity classes. As we speak, freshmen in English 101 classes all over the country are rushing to complete their term papers on how all heterosexual sex is rape. Over a million dollars later, the committee realized: Wait a second. This is a college class!
But at the urging of the Democrats, the Internal Revenue Service spent 3 1/2 years investigating Gingrich’s college course. After all the hullabaloo, the result was: No crime. The classes “were not biased toward particular politicians or a particular party”—thus distinguishing Gingrich’s class from every other college course in America.
To the contrary, Gingrich’s college class spent more time praising FDR and JFK than praising Reagan. (Did you know that FDR’s radio broadcast after Pearl Harbor included an eight-minute prayer? You would have learned that in Newt’s course.)
But the mere mention of the name “Newt Gingrich” was proof of criminal conduct in the ‘90s.
When Democrats are accused of wrongdoing, it’s usually something more like what most people think of as a crime, say, punching a Capitol Hill policeman.
Or perhaps by being captured on tape in hotel rooms stuffing wads of cash into their pockets from Arab sheiks—as Democrats were during the Abscam investigation. This was back when Democrats controlled Congress. Consequently, Congress responded to this shocking proof of criminality by their colleagues by … investigating the FBI for investigating members of Congress.
The “rule of law” means something entirely different for Republicans and Democrats. Consider the case of a prosecutor faced with the same possible wrongdoing by a Republican office-holder and a Democrat office-holder at the same time.
In the midst of Ronnie Earle’s witch hunt of Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison for allegedly using her office for campaign purposes—begun days after she was elected to the U.S. Senate by a 2-1 margin—employees in former Democratic Gov. Ann Richards’ office admitted that they destroyed almost three years’ worth of long-distance billing records that were supposed to be preserved—to ensure the office wasn’t being used for campaign purposes, among other things.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, Earle promptly “cleared (Richards) and her staff of wrongdoing, saying there was no evidence of criminal intent.”
Conservatives live under a jurisprudence of laws, but they get prosecuted under liberals’ jurisprudence of epithets.

Coulter has been a major media personality for more than 20 years, after starting on MSNBC their first day on air in July 1996.
She has appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, PBS’s Frontline, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The Tonight Show, Good Morning Britain, Yahoo News, and a slew of other U.S. and international TV shows. She was the cover story of Time magazine on April 25, 2005, and has been profiled in scores of other publications, including TV Guide, The Guardian (UK), the New York Observer, National Journal, Harper’s Bazaar, The Washington Post, The New York Times and Elle magazine. In 2001, Coulter was named one of the top 100 Public Intellectuals by federal judge Richard Posner.
A Connecticut native, Coulter graduated with honors from Cornell University School of Arts & Sciences and received her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, where she was an editor of The Michigan Law Review.
After practicing law for a few, very long years in New York City, Coulter moved to Washington to work for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan. From there, she became a litigator with the Center For Individual Rights in Washington, DC, focusing on free speech, congressional power, and race discrimination cases.
Within a year, Coulter took a short leave of absence from her law firm to write her first New York Times bestseller, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton.
