Coulter Comebacks

To the Editor:

Re “Tea With Miss Coulter” [Oct. 8]:

I realize the best way to confound aberrancy is to expose it to the general view. But is it necessary to give us a whole page of Ann Coulter?

She is patently delusional, not to say psychotic. That point could be made in a lot less space than The Observer used.

To the Editor:

I’m saddened by the fact that George Gurley couldn’t find someone to interview for The Observer other than Ann Coulter.

A man, woman or, yes, even a newspaper, is judged by the company it keeps. To give Ann Coulter more than a sentence of attention, let alone three-fifths of a page, is a tragedy of wasted space.

Since you folks don’t seem to care about what you put on the page, try this next time: a blank page. Not a comma, period or exclamation mark. Leave the ads in if you must, but Ann Coulter out!

It would save on ink, and The Observer could give Mr. Gurley a week off.

Re “Coulter Culture: Ann Blames Clinton, Carter for 9/11 and Dreams of Denying Women the Vote” [posted to observer.com on Oct. 2]:

Ann Coulter’s self-professed “personal fantasy” is an America in which women don’t have the right to vote, in turn making it a one-party theocracy.

That doesn’t sound like a daughter of the American Revolution to me.

In fact, despite her anti-Islam stance, I bet she’d be quite happy living as a woman under Taliban rule.

Perhaps it’s not too late for her to go to Afghanistan and defect to the enemy side.
