Pundit Boxscore for Monday 25 August 2003

NOT ENOUGH OUTRAGE: Thanks to Richard Eriksson and Just One Minute's Thomas Maguire for suggesting the same way to query Technorati -- using the entire URL for the column as the search string, like this. That brings up 15 links to the Coulter column in question, two of them from Lying in Ponds, and some of them which do not mention Ms. Coulter's wish for "friendly fire". So there's a little outrage but nothing that I can see from the national media. Maybe Rhetorica's Andrew Cline is on the right track:

On the contrary...the fact that no one is reacting to Ann Coulter's latest outrage may be proof that fewer people are now taking her seriously. The only reason to get upset about the ravings of a harridan is if her ravings are taken seriously. We may be seeing the final realization that Ann Coulter is nothing but our village idiot, albeit an entertaining one.
