The C-Word: Coulter

Arizona Daily Star Drops Ann Coulter's 'Shrill' Column
NEW YORK The Arizona Daily Star in Tucson has had enough of conservative commentator Ann Coulter.
In a column announcing a wide range of changes in the paper's opinion pages Monday, Editor and Publisher David Stoeffler revealed that the paper was dropping Coulter's syndicated column.
"Many readers find her shrill, bombastic, and mean-spirited. And those are the words used by readers who identified themselves as conservatives," the recently appointed Stoeffler wrote.
One recent example of Coulter's controversial approach was in her Aug. 10 column. She wrote: "(T)he savages have declared war, and it's far preferable to fight them in the streets of Baghdad than in the streets of New York -- where the residents would immediately surrender."
Yes, because if there's one thing New Yorkers are celebrated for the world over it's our anti-bellicose nature. In fact, I invite C-Word to visit our fair city and start a fight with anyone on any street corner. Let's see who goes home with their hideous ostrich neck in a splint.
Of course, it's rather odd that C-Word would have such a strong stance against terrorism, given that she also once said, "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." (New York Observer, Aug. 20, 2002.)
Which leads us to ask exactly why does C-Word despise New York City so? Is it because our Natural History Museum doesn't start with a diorama of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and wrap up three displays later with Ronnie and Nancy in an Applebee's? Is it because some of our residents go to their place of worship on Saturday instead of Sunday? Or is it because after the horrible tragedy we thought it best to honor the dead rather than litter the world with more corpses?
Now, I know that making fun of Ann Coulter is like making fun of a retarded kid who just can't understand why you don't dress up as Himmler for Halloween. But as a New Yorker and an American I, too, have a regret--That Ann Coulter's mom wasn't pro-choice.
