It seems that the Lady Anne has trouble keeping her Crying Game-sized wrists from filching other people's stuff when they're hammering away at the keyboard:
John Barrie, the creator of a leading plagiarism-recognition system, claimed he found at least three instances of what he calls "textbook plagiarism" in the leggy blond pundit's "Godless: the Church of Liberalism" after he ran the book's text through the company's digital iThenticate program.
He also says he discovered verbatim lifts in Coulter's weekly column, which is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers, including the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Sun-Sentinel and Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
I know she's been trying to get down the Virgin Ben's pants for a while, but I bet you're thinking what I'm thinking...wrong Ben. It's box turtle time!
I think God, Darwin and the rest of us are all happy about that wingnut abstinence thing right about now, eh?
Update: In the comments, Skippy says it ain't the first time. And The Rude One has been all over this....er, the plagiarism, that is.

Single!
Again! Whaa Hoo!
Wait, I’ve seen that before but it was out in the middle of a cornfield.
I was having a beautiful day and you go and print this photograph of the chief bitch of regressive dismantling the constitution. There went my high and my lunch.
Some would say that this brings Ann down to little Ben’s level — I say that it elevates her.
Reclaimed from the sewers, by petty theft. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving Spawn of Satan.
Christy? you there?
I think the first question I have is whether Coulter sat for the bar and is licensed…
From the ABA’s Center for Professional Responsibility:
Ahem.
Plagiarism is a violation of intellectual property rights, isn’t it?
The Rude one has been all over Anne’s filching.

Fitz!
It’s not theft or even plagiarism, it’s free market laissez-faire economics applied to literature.
Thanks Jane.
Coulter looks like a poster-child for a life-threatening eating disorder, anorexia, and silicone breast implants, just like Anna Benson.
Is it just me, or is this picture creepy? Every time I see it I think of that Seinfeld episode with the “man hands”.
* s h u d d e r *
Also makes me think of an X-files episode, but I’ll be damned if I can recall which one.
I’ve long suspected Coulter was inspired by certain texts from Germany of the 30s and early 40s … couple that plagiarism detector program with Babelfish translations and I might be proven right!
No shit, is that a real photo?
Hey…has anyone ever seen a picture of Ann Coulter as a little girl? I’m really starting to wonder here.
EPU’d - A liar, plagiarist, fraudulent voter, and really subhumanly unattractive. Yeah, I think her shrill 15 minutes are clocked out.
That picture at the NYPost of Anne in her basement or whatever is just mui horrorific. She really looks creepy.
Just caught up with The Understanderer’s statement on the NYT’s transgression. Gee, he looks like a pissed little schoolboy. Why the fake indignation?
Would you let this woman babysit your children? I really hate to say it but she looks like she should be on one of those statewide sex offender web sites.
Now I know where I’ve seen those hands before.
http://www.dinosauria.com/gall.....raptor.jpg
Jane! Bravo for catching the wrist clue in both ‘Crying Game’ and Anne’s facade!
Though I had no delusions I was the only human out there to get that signal early in the film (and still, it did NOT take away from the shock factor later on), or with regard to Anne’s equivocal anatomy, it’s a treat to finally run across a wrist-watcher!
I was just going to drop off some fresh baked nutmeg muffins at the Cheney’s over in Maryland. Anyone want to add to the basket?
lll 17 — I spotted those wrists in 5 seconds.
she looks like she should be on one of those statewide sex offender web sites
At the rate she’s going, that’ll prolly be the next news.
as the saying goes, when you steal from one person, it’s plagiarism, when you steal from a lot of people, it’s research.
the gawker reports she was plagiarizing as far back as 97.
as to her supposed attractiveness, remember, she’s a sex symbol to the same people that find condi rice attractive.
First there are kisses, then there are sighs ,and then before you know where you are …down low alibis
;>)
Bustedknuckles at 6:11 - only you might know!
What a CREEPY pic…..but fitting for mAnnie! YUCK
darkblack 22 — oh lord that’s a dinner launcher.
Can that woman tie her shoes without bending over? Just asking.
Ann Coulter. The genuine article. A real femi-nazi. She’s such a naughty little piece of “Verk”. So much hate, shoe-horned in such a skinny little body.
we are veering into “trannie bashing”(verbal) territory here now. If Ann really is transgendered, it’s her life. The problem then is the hypocrisy and of her gay-baiting. She runs with and supports the crowd that loathes and abominates transsexuals …
there’s nothing wrong with being a trannie but there’s a world of wrong for being a hypocrite !
dark - so real. How do you do it?
Oh Jane this is rich!
Which reminds me - wasn’t Coulter in some deep doo doo not too long ago about voting irregularly - what a twisted sister - anybody got an update on that violation of election law?
Don’t cha just hate it when such an embarrassing and dreadful notable shares the same name - am gonna start calling myself Annie.
If I may be so immodest Bartcop posted a picture moi on the weekend wearing a ladies version of his recent black T-shirt
Worst President Ever! Wore it on the driving range this afternoon in Pebble Beach. mwahahah!
Bustedknuckles 6:04pm — Wolcott’s absolutely right, no respectable progressive should ever allow themselves to be in the same room with this unholy succubus.
It was mentioned some time in the last week that we need a progressive bookings firm — and this preternatural entity explifies the need. Progressive authors, journalists and other folks should be assured protections from this predator; a progressive booking firm would have a different agenda in place and a different methodology for screening venues.
*ilson 27 — yes it is the hipocrisy of it, she’s made a bundle off of gay-baiting, thanks for setting the context.
I was at a BBQ yesterday with someone who used to work with her brother and knew the brother well.
So, I asked about her adam’s apple. I have no shame. Said brother buddy swears up and down that Anne was girl 25 years ago when he first heard about her from her brother.
I don’t know how old she is, but even if she’s 45, at at least the age of 20 she was a she.
The brother buddy was really suprised that I thought she might be transgender.
skippy, now I’m not the least bit interested in dinner.
has trouble keeping her Crying Game-sized wrists
ha, ha, ha, ha - I pee myself
so she’s a nazi and a plagiarist. she could be a freakin baby rapist and do you think they’d stop embracing her? hell the freak no. we are beyond every notion of civilized value with these fucking PSYCHO FREAKS.
darkblack is the digital political picasso.
It was so enjoyable to get home and read the Fubar thread. As usual thanks to everyone for the laffs, thoughtfulness, edification. Love me them sunday book salons.
Check this picture against the picture in the Post. Definitely store-bought boobs in the latter (later) photo.
I’m not so much into what people look like on the outside; the ugliness that is on the inside of Ann Coulter completely negates whatever physical beauty she might be considered to have. And, as others have said from time to time, it won’t be long before the hatred inside her affects her appearance.
While I don’t, as a rule, wish harm to befall people, I think there would be a delicious irony in Coulter being found to have committed multiple acts of plagiarism. Were she to be shunned by all sides - right and left - and left standing all alone, I think that might be some justice for the hurt and the harm she has done over the years.
As a life form, I prefer to think of her as one of the aberrations, one of God’s bigger mistakes, which He, in His infinite wisdom, will eventually correct for in some particularly righteous way. (hope God forgives me for the snark…*g*)

katecontinued close italics pls.
Jane,
Just to make sure credit is put where credit is due, it’s not just me that’s been writing about Coulter’s plagiarism. Ron Brynaert of Raw Story has been on this with me since July 2005.
ok, hello, some naughty ital tag non-closer
OMG, darkblack, you are utterly amazing!!!
Hi, friends, how’s everyone. I see I have cleverly finished my charting just in time to miss Book Thread as usual. Thanks to our guest poster, Mark, for joining us and for great comments which I promise to read in the morning.
There was a great vignette on This American Life today about a man who was the token nerd in his high school; he played the cello, was thin and small and geeky– total bully target. He spoke about how there was this one guy in school who targeted him and beat him up in a swimming pool, joined by his friends and that he was known to be able to press 500 pounds. This bully was Mr. Popular and the narrator was the Poor Geek. The worst thing, of course, was the day the Bully hip-checked the Geek and sent his cello flying, causing costly damage for which he never paid. The geek survived and lived to become a successful journalist, eventually forgetting about the Bully…… until one day he was listening to the news and it all came flooding back. Retribution, satisfaction, release! His childhood bully had finally received his just reward, because he was none other than…..Jack Abramoff.
I had to pull off the road I was laughing so hard.
lhp 6:24pm — which brings us to the other hypocrisy, that against independent-minded women who are not subjugated to men. If this wretch is a “real woman” in the right-wing parallel universe, how is it she is not married and with child? Why is she “free” to mouth off about other women in the same situation?
Hypocrite. Must be the name of this particular resident of Hades.
AnnIE H 29 — I posted this way early this morning at what would have been your middle-of-the-night, but here’s a bit from the Palm Beach Post’s gossip column today:
Jesu Cristo - her wrists are bigger than my feet!
One…singular sensation, every little hair he plucks
Once…He stood for urination, but now that unit is tucked
One smile and they all forget that you plagiarize
That Adam’s apple sure is an unusual size
Ooh! A! Whore for your attention
Do I really have to mention
‘She’…Is…Scum!
;>)
Why are some Republican women so damn proud of their breasts? Coulter’s Post pose reminds me of Katherine Harris.
op99 I am so sorry - katecontinued doesn’t know how to close them, especially after the fact.
(As an “Anne” myself, could we please stop spelling Coulter’s “Ann” with the “e”? Thank you and carry on…)
Did Anne Coulter have a movie career? I seem to remember her from the Wizard of Oz. Wasn’t she the broomstick?
Wolcott’s post title says it all:
“Pair of Tweezers Caught Plagiarizing”
Hi Rude!
That’s ok, kc, it just makes one feel so…irrelevant when one’s pearls of wisdom are all italicized. ;)
zenn - too perfect.
but you know what? there is no shame anywhere anymore in this 100% corrupt political/media culture. with the relentless institutionalized disinfo that americans now swim in, abramoff could run for president next month and win.
Jane,
You have mail!
Waiting for Fitz-O — oh man, I just thought of one but it wasn’t about the hands…

lotus,
“Miami lawyer has told Anderson’s office that she has applied to strike her Seabreeze Avenue address from records.”
(edited by CHS — they may play that game, but I’m not comfortable playing it. Sorry, but I’m editing this out.)
what is it about the song “One” that lends itself to fascism-bashing parody perfection…dunno, but love it
“abramoff could run for president next month and win.”
Not as a convicted felon, alas for him (plus, ain’t no money in it).
Leggy blonde! As Satan’s daughter she has hooves, hairy legs, a tail, a long snake-like tongue, and under the blonde wig, pointed ears.
I’ve lost my faith in Fitz, btw. The horrorshow is just too far gone.
Rayne–
I don’t get it.
I’m cultcha-impaired, I guess.
zen
lotus 59 - laws? hahahahahaha. you silly. :)
*ilson, 27: I agree that fundamentally Coulter’s gender identity is her business. On the other hand, her hatefulness and irrational ravings, her manifest contempt for any notion of fair play, leaves her open to personal invective. One would say fair is fair.
Anybody who calls for sending a member of the Supreme Court to the gas chamber is guilty of such a great obscenity, that making fun of her anatomy is mild by comparison, and in a relative sense, compassionate.
In principle you are right, in practice, she deserves what she gets. My own belief is that any kind of attention she gets, whether it is adoring praise or hate in kind, she just laps up and laughs all the way to the bank.
The best way to treat people like Coulter is to ignore them.
ummm … as a convicted felon Abramoff could run for President* in some states … Indiana didnt outlaw felons holding public office until about 30 years ago (after it was discovered a radical Black legislator had a rather serious ‘youthful indiscretion’)
* or is this a Constitutional disqualification?
katecont’d, to close, you do the same thing you did to open them, with these “”, but you put a / in front of the i.
same with bold “b”
and underline
and strikethrough, but that one never works for me.
But *ilson is the only one who knows how to make your text turn colors. Sorry, can’t help you there, and he won’t tell.
I’m glad I went to church today or I would be saying something really nasty like “not even with Rush Limbaugh’s wanker”.
What is the title to (m)Ann’s new book?
Codless?
Rayne — the voting in the wrong precinct felony charge is what will likely get her in trouble with the state bar in which she is licensed (I believe she went to Cornell undergrad, and not sure about her law school creds…but she could be licensed pretty much anywhere if she has actually passed a bar exam and practiced at some point. It wouldn’t have to be FL.) In any case, felony charges anywhere are pretty much guaranteed to raise eyebrows with a state bar ethics committee. Felony charges plus plagiarism — definitely raises some eyebrows, but that’s especially true if it was done knowingly, which they’d only find out if she is sued civilly and discloses such on the record during a deposition or testimony.
Hi OFG - postin’?
The Israeli government is doing mischief again. They’re randomly extinguishing human life and exhibiting their total disregard for humanity and international law. Of course, we Americans cannot point fingers at Israel. ‘Cause we’re doing the same thing in Iraq. When will the carnage stop? Is this a great country, or what. We’re supposed to be the greatest champions of human rights in civilized history. The United States of Hypocrisy. It’s all so disgusting.
When historians like Doris Kearns Goodwin and Pierce Ambrose were caught up in plagiarism it was all the talk and practically ruined careers. It shows how disreputable the gutter slime pop authors like Coulter are that their transgressions are not treated with the same level of outrage.
Coulter’s books are little different from the tabloids crowding the space at supermarket checkout lanes, except she uses more words and fewer badly-photoshopped pictures. If not for the conservative welfare institutional buys sending crates of her books to garbage scows, I doubt she’d even exist as anyone of note.
Oh, *ilson, zen’s tutorial reminds me — yesterday when I was going on about Key limes, I saw your note to go look at the comment where I’d done so. But the thang still looked black to me. Waaaah.
Ya gotta admit she’s kinda sexy, in a weird sort of way.
One of my fantasies: a three-way with me, Ann Coulter and Danielle Pletka.
Anne @ 50
Are you my mother? That’s exactly what she, as another Anne would say.
Made me laugh right out loud, as just this week she was sharing the observation with an Ann that the two names are not the same. Ann agreed.
almost any standard html tag will work in here except for ‘tables’ … of course, lists of html tags can be found easily
notice anything different about this? (Mac users need not apply)
meta,
It’s in the hopper. Jane prolly has a jillion emails to wade through.
I meant Stephen Ambrose, gah!
lhp @ 33 - you have no shame! And now, of course, he will be thinking about it all the time and asking other people - hey, did you ever think AC might be DC?
I am just now catching up with big chunks of thread and I have to say - Jane I hope you follow through at some point with your post 162 from the Bored thread. From that thread throught the day today — all kinds of good GOTV, focus groups, women in the Dem Party, healthcare, candidates, candidatespeak etc. items brought up.
I very much liked TRex’s commercial concenpt from the latenight thread, but Dems need to start selling NOW that they do have a policy for those things. Lots of the comments could become posts themselves, or linked, or expanded. There was a lot of interesting perspective. lhp’s story about the Rep. effort to groom women candidates - there’s an eyeopener.
Lots of things I never thought of for GOTV -the absentee ballots concepts has a lot of appeal IMO. Heck, *I* would rather do absentee myself and I don’t have kids.
Good stuff. I hope some of it can be preserved and massaged in days to come.

Meanwhile back at the farm.
UN thinks you ought not “disappear”” people to torture and kill them. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/200.....ances_dc_1
US says, well sure you can, as long as you were acting in “obedience to superior orders.” Has anyone told the mob that this is a valid defense? HOw about state and Congressional moneyscaming staffers and ex-s? Of course, I guess if you are the top human on the orders chain, as long as God or Satan speaks to you directly you are still covered. It’s really all a jurisdictional dispute between good and evil.
Same time, different place.
EU thinks there should be a global ban on torture. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200....._torture_1
Bush sidesteps and says we use “legal” means - not torture. He mentions that under the Doctrine of Yoo and Eye (for an), torture isn’t torture if Yoo have a “national security” interest. EU - whose members form the originating source of our common and civil law - different take. The EU also said it condemned any attempt by states or public officials to legalize or acquiesce in such treatment “under any circumstances, including on grounds of national security.”
Foreign press lately seems to be saying that the European population is not nearly as willing as the Americans to let the torture issue go unaddressed. They seem to think it’s a crime when Osama does it AND it’s a crime when Bush does it.
Our DOJ is baffled at the concept. If they ever see the flow chart - the bafflement might turn to alarm.
Just heard it over the scanner that an arrest warrant has been issued for Ann Coulter. She’s wanted for stealing Rush’s viagra.
C’mon, who has more of a right to anything written by anybody than Ann? Just ask her?
And those dumbass Floridians who don’t know how to vote? What morons! They should just vote anywhere like Ann does.
Key Lime Pie?
will this work?
orangejump 64 says my thinking. But OTOH, no also. I’m at a loss. How to answer institutionalized entertainment insanity. Do we validate it with a shred of attention, which is what it counts on and begs for?
The more i think about it, the more ignominious it feels for a jane hamsher to even notice the existence of an ann coulter. It’s like einstein stooping to debate phrenology.
Your Rudeness,
Welcome to the Lake !

Uh? Yuck
Mary 80 — would you like to cull it all together into a post?
People who hate themselves often project that hate onto others, and believe themselves to be deserving of the hate that is returned to them.
She’s a bitter, self-hating shell, who could use serious psychological help; it’s my guess that she will burst into flames before ever getting that help.
In the meantime, the media outlets who give her a platform need to know that an appearance by Coulter means the channel/station gets changed, or turned off altogether. The book stores who carry her books need to know you will no longer patronize them. You get the idea.
My guess is that she has not yet found the one truly heinous thing she could do or say that would forever stigmatize her the way she believes she should be, so she will get worse before she goes away.
looseheadprop 89 - I see your yuck and raise you a bleeeerghh…..

zennurse : with my Moderator’s Super X-Ray Eyes, I looked inside your comment and saw no html tags whatsoever buried in there … it is possible WordPress is stripping out some ‘unauthorized’ html tags.
It’s really all a jurisdictional dispute between good and evil.
By gollies, I think Mary’s found The Key to All Mythologies.
how about this?
Then why can you do it, *ilson? I’m trying again, and apologize to others who are frustrated with my practice, but this is how we help each other at fdl.
:-(
Final OT link (for awhile at least)-
Prof linked this earlier with a lot of other things, but IMO but everyone should read this article.
http://www.latimes.com/news/na.....-headlines
It provide a quick insight into how hard so many in the military fought against the President’s decisions to break the laws of war and of Congress and this nation. They mention Mora, but one thing they don’t mention is he “papered his dissent” which is a tough thing to do when the President and Sec Def are aligned against you. He didn’t just grouse in meetings - he wrote formal opinion memos for the record.
JAG officers left and right were complaining (they don’t mention that a group went to the NY bar to complain and get advice). Some officers WITHDREW FROM THE PROSECUTION TEAM because of the lack of regularity of the proceedings.
Read back to some of the GITMO hearings coverage and you will see JAG officers being threatened with making the choice of violating ethics opinions from their state bars or being put in the brig by the military unless they followed the BushFeld Irregulars rules.
It would be very kewl to see Swift get a Profiles in Courage award next time through, and Mora be invited as a special guest for the presentation.
no tags visible inside that comment either, zennurse
rude p!
darkblack!
and btw you know who is sexy? helen the freakin thomas.
you know who’s totally not? dachau ann put you in the gas chamber coulter.
I’ve heard people postulate that her whole act is a complete fabrication. She’s no more heinous than your average wingnut, but average doesn’t sell. She has to continue to kick up the outrageousness to continue her marketing.
Her only core conviction is $$$. And she’s made plenty of it with her particular brand of sludge.
it might be coz I have *Moderator Powers* which grants me ease of smiting evildoers and the ability to make flashy colors — it does not include wit, wisdom or humility …
Yiii, *ilson 82, thass some assault on the ol’ eyebones!
But yes, at 201 on yesterday’s Pull Up a Chair, you shall find Key lime pie, Palm Beach Post Grouper, and Pisco Sours too.
cbl 84 - darkblack needs a page, I know there’s all kinds of greatness I’ve missed. s/he’s a tease with the mystery and excellence
EPU’d, posted here, comment did not appear:
Google Ann Coulter plagiarism and you will get about 98,000 hits, and they aren’t all recent. Apparently she has a history with this.
whats funny, Lotus, is that there is a list of only 216 colornames authorized for use in HTML : one of which is “GreenYellow” — it seemed apropos for the Key Lime reference …
Jane 90 - ROFL. You be wicked. *whiner - why doen’t someone —* *Jane - here,go right ahead*
It will take me awhile, but I would try to pull some of them together. There is just so much good stuff over those 3-4 threads so many things they made my head spin a bit. Some are, IMO, almost stand alones so the posters would have to be ok with that. I can try to pull some, email you or Christy to see what you think and if commenters are ok with their stuff going up - try to revisit some of the posts and topics over the next few days.
That has to be it, *ilson my dear, because it works on my practice page just fine. Do you have XRay vision as well?
I call no fair, somebody call Jamie, I want purple text!!!!!
(I’m kidding, I am perfectly capable of living within the limitations of being a mere Hamsher minion.) (And I love all moderators) (more on this later)
Shucks, folks…without FDL, there are scant reasons for my meager contributions to exist.
Thank you all

we fillet no minions here …
I wish I could find a citation, but I remenber seeing something quite a while back, perhaps from a friend of Rush Limbaugh’s, that Rush’s schtick is just that, a meal ticket for him, and he thinks his listeners are idiots. (That’s one thing I agree with him on.) I would supect the same of Coulter, were it not for the fact that she was one of the “elves” behind the scenes on the Whitewater investigation. Thus, I conclude she is, indeed, a true believer.
Mary, great summaries. Did you read the dissents? If you do a long post, add something snarky about Alito’s dissent.
evidently Limbaugh and Coulter live by that cynical old maxim : “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
op99,
The principle players of destructive movements rarely believe what they’re selling, they just use it to mobilize mobs to overthrow the status quo. Although often times the leader/figurehead is insane enough to be a true believer. It’s been like that throughout history.
Further on what MAry said at 78
Re: The republicans grooming women (and minority) candidates:
This was not just a cynical marketing strategy. It grows out of and is an extension of Newt Ginrich’s GOPAC assault on the house.
If you don’t know the GOPAC story it is something like this”
Nest was a nobody junior congressman. He went ot the leadership of the GOP and said that big businesshas a reason to and should be supporting the GOP. There a a great many Cong. districts where there are weak Dem incumbent who get re elected year after year b/c they never have a serious challenger. Give me the GOP seal of approval to go raise money, recruit candidates and try to take back the House.
He drafted two documents. one waas the “contract with America” the other was a “business plan”. Bugets, target markets, cash flows. A document that businessmen would feel comfortable with.
He went out and started raisng money from guys in big business. He then went out and recruited candidates who had no natural base in their district, no fundraising abilty f their own, and little or no campaign experience.They had to agree to put themselves in his ahnds and just do exactly as they were told.
Many of these guys were SOOO flattered to have been asked. Mnay were ambitious for overnight sucess.
He found their donors for them, he picked their campaign consultants and groomed them and gave them their talking points, maybe even whole speeches. And he kept tabs on whether they stuck to the script.
They won. They won a lot of seats and Newt went around crowing about how it was a victory for the principles described in the “contract for America”, that was a lie. It was a victory for all that campaign money and for catching the Dems napping.
Suddenly, this nobody junior member of the House had all these newbies who knew they could not get re elected on their own b/c they still had no fundraising base or natural constituency nor campaign apparatus of their own. So, they were completely dependant on Newt if they wanted to get re elected in 2 years, and he reminded them of it almost everyday.
So, he had the votes to become Speaker of the house. He had the votes to shut down the government and he had the votes to punish anyone of EITHER party that dared get in his way.
The lockstep discipline of the republicans is a direct outgrowth of the GOPAC phenomena.
If hate-spewing is just a meal ticket and a form of entertainment, I guess I just don’t understand people.
Danielle Pletka
“….Pletka is a member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI).
Pletka supports the process of “rendition,” by which terror suspects are taken by U.S. authorities and transferred to another country for interrogation and often torture. When asked about the policy, she told the BBC, “I’m not a big fan of torture….”
I don’t want to forget to link to this article by nir Rosen. It’s a tough read, but so important. Sadly, it is much as I had suspected.
The Occupation of Iraqi Hearts and Minds
Aside from being a primate version of the Komodo dragon (whose modus operandi ofttimes relies upon a hideous brew of mouth bacteria to slowly and horribly kill large prey, which they bite and then stalk for many days until the infections overwhelm the victim), the Annster seems to present the appearance of Marfan’s syndrome. How tall is she? Of course, I am no Bill Frist (who wouldn’t have been my cardiologist for more than 5 minutes), so I tread lightly here. That said, Marfan’s would not explain the on-board flotation devices, but it would account for the long-limbiness, excessive slenderness, and basketball player’s hands. It’s a disorder that often comes with serious heart abnormalities and increased risk of aneurisms, IIRC.
A pitiful creature, but highly toxic.
Mary, I am just overjoyed you are willing to take Jane up on her offer. IMO what you write will be closely read by Democratic candidates all over. I am confident a lot of what you post at FDL will make it into speeches from Dem canidates and their debates.
The shameful irony is that if Bitch Coulter loses her various media gigs it will be due to plagiarism, rather than her behavior as a rabid, frothing fascist. She should have been barred from the public sphere a long time ago.
“on-board flotation devices” — beautiful, Hypatia!
