| COULTER SHOCK! Ann Coulter has written her first genuine crossover column in at least two years -- on Earth Day. It's not about Earth Day; the column is an attack on Senator Arlen Specter, an actual Republican, not a Democrat serving in a Republican administration. Of course, Ms. Coulter criticizes Senator Specter mostly for behaving as a Democrat (a "Donkey trapped in elephant's body") and in the context of boosting his more conservative "great Republican" opponent. Still, a genuine crossover by one of the titans of partisanship is a momentous event. This one column increased Ms. Coulter's negative Republican references from 3 to 20 and dropped her score a few points, into second place behind Paul Krugman. |
