Oh, Ann Coulter.

It's a great column. I mean, you get the usual "liberals are the devil" stuff which of course only coincidentally resembles the rhetoric of extremists who really would like to see liberals dead. You don't get an Ann Coulter column without that; they don't have anything without glossy intellectual hatred in it.

But you also get the pit bull going after Bush, a fine spectacle indeed. It's worth it for that aspect alone. Don't stop! There's more.

"I know conservatives have been trained to hate people who went to elite universities, and generally that's a good rule of thumb. But not when it comes to the Supreme Court. ... Being on the Supreme Court isn't like winning a 'Best Employee of the Month' award. It's a real job."

There you have it. You shouldn't hate people who go to elite universities when they're doing real jobs. Mind you, I just elided two and a half paragraphs to produce the quote, but nobody's perfect.

My God. When Ann Coulter turns against Bush, then truly the End Times are upon us.

God, she is so odious. Hopefully now that some of her purile argumentum ad hominem venom is being flung at fellow 'conservatives' maybe they'll cotton on to that fact as well.

She is one of the few people on the earth who make me furious by her mere existence. Usually, me being me, I'd feel guilty about that. With her, nope.

all this political mumbo jumbo just obfuscates the glaringly obvious.

she has no experience being a judge. nada. zip.

Historically speaking, that's hardly disqualifying. The Constitutional language establishing the Supreme Court doesn't require it, and 41 of the 109 Supreme Court justices we've had so far haven't had judicial experience prior to joining the court, including the recently deceased Chief Justice Rehnquist.

I have some questions about her qualifications, in that I don't see a lot to indicate she's thought very much about Constitutional law, she mostly seems like a corporate lawyer to me. But the judge thing in and of itself isn't really a factor.
