COULTER'S MINETA VENDETTA: Wow, Ann Coulter seems determined to give away the 2004 Lying in Ponds partisanship title. Her column yesterday was another attack on Norman Mineta, and her second crossover column in a row. Yes, Mr. Mineta is a Democrat, but as a member of the Bush Cabinet, negative references to him count as negative Republican references. I promise that I'll explore the issue in some depth next week. And as Dave Barry would say, "Mineta Vendetta" would be an excellent name for a rock band.
