In which Ann Coulter complains about the competition
Joseph Farah, the nutty editor of the far-right WorldNetDaily, has gotten himself into an amusing little spat with Ann Coulter, a woman who lives in terror that somewhere there may be a spotlight that she can’t grab.
Coulter had been hired to speak to a group of gay Republicans at their annual convention in New York next month, an event that they have apparently dubbed “Homocon”. (Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee back in the Bush years, may or may not be in attendance.)
Farah then notified Coulter that he was canceling her speaking appearance at a WND event, accusing her of “legitimizing a group that is fighting for same-sex marriage and open homosexuality in the military.”
“Ultimately, as a matter of principle, it would not make sense for us to have Ann speak to a conference about ‘taking America back’ when she clearly does not recognize that the ideals to be espoused there simply do not include the radical and very ‘unconservative’ agenda represented by GOProud,” Farah said.
That in turn set off Coulter, who called Farah “a swine” and accused the WND folks of being “fake Christians.” Farah “is doing this for PUBLICITY and publicity alone,” Coulter complained, going so far as to call him “a publicity whore.”
You heard that right. Ann Coulter called someone a publicity whore, and she wasn’t even looking in the mirror at the time. (I’m not sure she can even SEE herself in a mirror, but I digress.)
So here’s your morning assignment, class, a “fill in the blank” exercise. For example:
Getting called “a publicity whore” by Ann Coulter is … like being called tall by Sultan Kosen.
OK, now it’s your turn.
Getting called a publicity whore by Ann Coulter is like ….

Why on earth did you take the gratuitous swipe at Ken Mehlman in this column? Do you actually have anything to back your claim that he may or not be there other than his being gay and your need to bash him for it?
Sometimes I just have to shake my damn head at the garbage you’ll put in print.

“the revenue argument appears justified to my way of thinking.”
But, again, if it sits empty how much revenue will they be getting? The other side of the argument is that having the mosque there might lead to an increase in the number of businesses that would cater to the Muslim population, like halal food shops and stuff.

And like all the other blowhards (that know “better” compared to the politicians) like Boortz, Hannity, Rush, O’Really(now), Beck, etc…why is it that NONE of them ever run? I mean..they ALL have such GREAT IDEAS on how to fix our nation…yet none run for office on ANY level… yet every single one of them has a “wealth” of knowledge in just HOW we can fix our problems… I guess it has something to do with the “pay scale”… you’d think they all made enough now…and that it would be prudent for our society for them to enter politics (which their “entertainment” is based off of)…and fix all that is broken.
