basildestinyThis was actually in the Washington Post yesterday. I post it because Anita's not online yet and she will laugh and shake her head. I seriously wouldn't want this chick in my party. It makes me pine for Ainsley Haynes (who was an articulate The West Wing Republican that had reasons for her beliefs).
Check this thing out. I warn that it is so outrageous, you may injure yourself laughing.
"USAT notes inside that it decided to spike Ann Coulter's "Crashing The Party" convention column after she handed in her first installment. The paper's editorial page editor says the column had "basic weaknesses in clarity and readability that we found unacceptable." But Coulter counters in an interview with Editor & Publisher that the paper simply couldn't stomach her "'tone,' humor, sarcasm, etc." Since Coulter also posted the piece in question on her Web site, TP thinks readers should decide."

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.
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.
And here's Ann's article. I have to say that I've skimmed this thing as I have to be at work in 25 minutes and need to get ready this instant, but I didn't catch in humor in her tone. It all sounded condescending to me. Read Ann's article here.
