Ann Coulter Is Happy To See The Dems Self-Destruct

"What a difference a week makes! Last week, liberals were expecting big things. They were counting on special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and the White House to do their work for them. On Friday, Fitzgerald was supposed to indict Karl Rove. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were going to be named unindicted co-conspirators. Maybe Condoleezza Rice too. Who knew — maybe even Clarence Thomas. There was even talk of a posthumous indictment for Nixon. It was going to be Fitzmas Day! (Which is much like Christmas except instead of having her baby in a manger, the woman has a late-term abortion.) Oh, it was hard to fall asleep on Fitzmas Eve! But Friday came, and only Irve Lewis Libby was accused of committing any crimes. They were all crimes like perjury and obstruction of justice, personal to Libby, unrelated to the administration.

Fitzmas sucked. Instead of GI Joe and Mr. Machine, all Democrats got was a lousy cardigan sweater.

With the Democrats still reeling from Friday's sad news, Bush gave them a right-hook by nominating the stunningly qualified Judge Sam Alito on Monday. (So I guess not all qualified candidates for the Supreme Court turned Bush down before he nominated Miers.)

Not only is Alito qualified, but he also does not consider membership in the Federalist Society comparable to joining the Klan. In other words, this was just the sort of judicial nominee that would have terrified the White House a month ago.

Judge Alito's dear 90-year-old mother — who evidently had not yet been briefed by White House political consultants to avoid stating positions popular with Americans — immediately said of her son, "Of course he's against abortion."

Read it all if you've a mind to be entertained. The biggest problem with Ann is that she comments but once a week, and a great deal of the time so very much has been said about a hot topic that there'd be nothing left but scraps for a lesser writer.

Not Ann. If there's one person besides my lovely better half that I wouldn't mind spending an evening talking with it'd be Ms Coulter, and while I do not consider myself a "fan" of any person or group or thing, I like the cut of her jib.
