Pundit Boxscore for Wednesday 11 June 2003

SHE'S NUMBER TWO, BUT TRYING HARDER: Will Ann Coulter extend her current streak of six consecutive columns with a perfect partisanship score (100)? She's on the verge of overtaking Robert Scheer at the top of the Lying in Ponds Top Ten. Over those six columns, Ms. Coulter has made 40 negative Democratic references and 28 positive Republican references. Most of the Democratic references came in one amazingly partisan column on John Kerry. Here they are, all negative: Kerry, John F. Kerry, Democrat, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Howard Dean, Democrats, Kerry, Dean, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Kerry, Democrats, Kerry, Kerry, Democrats, Kerry, John Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Howard Dean, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Teresa Heinz, Kerry, Kerry, Heinz, Democrats, Kerry, Kerry.
