The Arizona Star today announced:

...we've decided that syndicated columnist Ann Coulter has worn out her welcome. Many readers find her shrill, bombastic and mean-spirited. And those are the words used by readers who identified themselves as conservatives.

Taking her place on Saturdays will be Tony Snow, host of "The Tony Snow Show," syndicated nationally on Fox News Radio, and "Weekend Live with Tony Snow" on Fox News Channel. He has worked at a number of daily newspapers and is a former speechwriter for former President George H.W. Bush.

    I still take exception to the use of "She-Pundit" to describe her. I know, there are reasons for it. But c'mon, surely there are plenty of descriptives for this....this person...that don't disparage half the population by association with her!

    Lora, it's actually the "she pundit with long blonde hair." That's how I have referred to her for years. It's because I don't feel like giving her any more google hits, so I don't use her name (most of the time.)

    Coulter is as much of a she-pundit as the Holy Roman Empire was holy, Roman or Empire (i.e., not! on all counts).

    Perhaps "The pundit with long blonde hair" would do just as well...just a thought.

    She-pundit is a joke. Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS Good point about using her name, TL. Like invoking the devil.

    Larry Flint is planning a comeback featuring a drooling shepundit spread trying to scratch off the the black from redacted Abu Ghrab porn.

    Once again proving that liberals will support the restraint of free speech when it suits their beliefs.

    How is Err America doing these days? Have they gotten any more money from the Boys Club? Ann is gone from there; Tony fills in. We have a deep bench.

    DA - I don't remember you saying that about Ward Churchill. And don't go to the tenure BS. He is employed by the citizens of CO, a higher percentage, I'll wager, want him gone than the readers of subject newspaper want Coulter gone. Et al - Anyone know how many other papers carry her?

    The phony Indian Churchill? The plagiarist Churchill? Oh yeah, him.

    Churchill may be a phony Indian, but the rightwing bench are phony human beings. And as for 'plagiarism,' that's really not so big a deal next to GENOCIDE FOR PROFIT.

    I would like to apologize for my behavior on this blog over the past several weeks. I would like to tell everyone that I am supporting Judge Roberts for the Supreme Court. Also, in the future, I will be known as "The DORK Avenger."

    Bork Avenger would be more fitting. Apology accepted.

    DA, well done as usual. Thanks, I needed the laugh.

    Bork the Dork is the lowest common denominator. [Ed. Squeaky, please make sure your name is in the "author" box before you post.]

    And those are the words used by readers who identified themselves as conservatives.
    If they wanted to drop her, fine. But they shouldn't be using self-identification by "readers" as an excuse. It shows no backbone at all. And it is impossible to prove.

    They gave the fatuous Bloviating Blonde more than due consideration.

    'Tony' Snow would sell his grandmother for a chance to hold W's hand. Coulter will eventually 'pick up' spare change on the club circuit. No one is going to miss these failed human beings who readily betray their nation and its people, for a chance to 'be someone' and drive around in a two-lane wide Nazi Icebox listening to Clint Black, congratulating themselves on how smart they are. What does it profit a pundit to gain the world and lose their soul? Money like that doesn't grow on Living Trees. Someone famous said such amoral husks get "cast into the Fire." But what did He know.
