Those Ill-Bred Ilk
A Press Release from US Congressional Representative John D. Dingell (MI) (thanks to Media Matters), had this to say:
Congressman Dingell said, “Helen Thomas is an esteemed, unbiased journalist who deserves respect for her decades covering both Democratic and Republican Presidents. Ann Coulter and her ilk have done nothing but poison our political discourse with their vile, hate-filled harangues. She is not a journalist, a public-servant, nor an analyst and if not for her venom she couldn’t come up with enough words to fill a classified ad, let alone a column.”
Much deserved, although I might point out in my plaintive, long-suffering gay falsetto, that this little bit of venom spewed towards Helen Thomas and Arabs is nothing compared to that she reserves for her best homophobic pronouncements. But you knew I'd say that, so I guess I shouldn't really mention it right now.
