After filing her first story with USA Today on Sunday night, the editorial staff for the largest circulated newspaper in the nation decided that Coulter's piece was "unusable" and "not funny,"

that picture of her on the drudge site is so...disarming.

― Huck, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, she was pretty upset about it on ... *shocker* ... FOX NEWS last night. Maybe she should trade being bitter for being a little less 'fair and balanced'?

From the Horse's mouth:

Coulter column canceled after editing dispute
By Mark Memmott, USA TODAY
BOSTON — USA TODAY's plan to have conservative columnist and author Ann Coulter write a daily opinion column from the Democratic convention was scrapped Monday after a dispute involving the first piece she submitted.

Coulter was replaced by Jonah Goldberg, another conservative columnist and frequent CNN commentator. The newspaper still plans to have filmmaker Michael Moore, a vociferous critic of President Bush, write an opinion column during the Republican national convention in a month.

Coulter

Brian Gallagher, editor of USA TODAY's editorial page, said of Coulter: "We had a disagreement over editing. We worked diligently to resolve the differences and couldn't, so we decided to part ways." He said the column had "basic weaknesses in clarity and readability that we found unacceptable."

Coulter told the online edition of Editor & Publisher magazine that "USA TODAY doesn't like my 'tone,' humor, sarcasm, etc., which raises the intriguing question of why they hired me to write for them."

Coulter posted the disputed column on her Web site, anncoulter.com. It had been scheduled to run in Monday's USA TODAY but was held while editors and Coulter tried to resolve their differences.

Gallagher said Moore will be held "to the same editing standards" as Coulter and other columnists who write for the newspaper's opinion page.

As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it's because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council's approval. Plus, it's no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention.

My impression was the conservabimbos were the corn fed ones

There's a billboard in Burbank that has Laura Ingraham on one side and Dennis Prager on the other. I think I like Dennis Prager less than Rush Limbaugh.

As a major deadhead (67 shows) who isn't, shall we say, buxom, she should know something about natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chicks. Also, I was going to guess that she needs to ally herself with an imaginary pretty girl posse because she's a single 43-year-old, but apparently she's been engaged and walked away 4 times. Also, I guess if 'liberal boys' (lots of 'boys' at political conventions, y'know) are all wimps, then conservatives are all he-men. Like her ex-boyfriend, Dinesh D'Souza

or maybe she just likes a 'different' sort of guy

― g--ff (gcannon), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

they had good reason to reject that column because it isn't reporting on the convention as much as rehashing coulter's favorite stereotypes, with no evidence provided to suggest that she is doing so on the evidence. i wonder if she was even *at* the convention on the basis of that column.

Probably not, but WOW, they'd make a spell-binding couple, no?

I saw her speak once (don't ask) at college. (I wanted to see what all the fuss was about) And she pulled the whole Bill Clinton is a sexual harasser, but women must deserve to get harassed if they try to be pretty at work, especially liberal and pretty. then she said something about "sticking forks into babies' heads" and all hell broke loose.

x-post I wish! No, people got really riled up so she started insulting everyone, including everyone named Osama, women, liberals, etc. But we learned that if you don't respond and provoke her she shuts up. Also, she has a really huge arse and seems quite sensitive about it.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

If you ever meet Ann Coulter just point to her throat and say "what's up with the Adam's apple?"

I think the same thing, until I hear about or meet someone who really genuinely agrees and enjoys her work. Same thing for all of the Fox News stuff, I'd have no problem with it if no one took it seriously.

I find her attractive, in a strange sort of way, but I find that I have this perverse and inexplicable sexual attraction to skanky extreme right-wing women.

One reads various pieces about her obnoxiousness, mendacity, etc, all true, but what I haven't seen anyone say, despite the fact that it's staring me in the face whenever I see one of her pieces, is that she is a ROTTEN WRITER. Naturally, of course, this cannot possibly be the reason she got dropped in this instance, can it?

One use she has is as a sort of barometer. If anyone quotes her in an approving sort of way, like here, it does suggest they are a doctrinaire asshat, whose opinions are worth 0 or thereabouts.
