The Angry Left Is Enraged...

This is one of the reasons why it's so cool having Ann on our side.

The Loons DESPISE her. She keeps them awake at night. They even stop worrying over the rather bland latte's that Miriam's Mangled Mojo or some other oh-so-IN coffee house seems to be putting out lately, because Ann isn't just ON their minds, she's INTO 'em. Ann thinks that the real monsters are the one's who condone killing babies, not people who believe that Mexicans should learn English, and this makes the liberals mad-dog-barking angry that one would have the effrontery to prefer children over illegal lettuce-pickers.

"Ann Coulter spent yesterday being attacked as heartless - and she loved every minute of it.

She said she was "thrilled" that the Daily News spotlighted her cruel comments about a group of 9/11 widows on the front page.

Instead of apologizing, she seemed to bask in criticism from politicians ranging from Sen. Hillary Clinton to Gov. Pataki.

And when a critic handed Coulter a letter asking her to apologize, she tore it up in his face - sparking an uproar in the process.

It was a great day for the conservative commentator, who always tries to stir up controversy in her syndicated columns - and worked hard yesterday to get even more attention for her fifth book.

"I'm thrilled," she said on WNYW-TV yesterday morning, when she saw that News' front page. "They can call me Coulter the Cruel for every one of these chapters."

Later, when a Fox News anchor asked if she was being provocative just to sell books, she bragged that she was already rich. "Frankly," she said, "I don't need any more money."

But if Coulter, 44, is selling outrage, she found plenty of buyers yesterday.
About 300 adoring fans came to see her at Book Revue in Huntington, L.I., where she signed books and did a live radio show with WABC-AM host Sean Hannity.

She also signed copies of The News' front page and posed for pictures with it - and tossed rhetorical red meat to a crowd that included one woman dressed up as the Statue of Liberty.

During one commercial break, Huntington City Councilman Mark Cuthbertson walked onstage and handed her a letter asking her to retract her comments about the 9/11 widows.

"Miss Coulter, I think you are a disgrace ..." Cuthbertson started to say, before the crowd shouted him down.

Coulter ripped the letter in two, bodyguards pulled him away and some in the crowd tried grabbing at his lapels.

"She ripped up the letter," he said later. "She just ripped it up in my face. She wouldn't say anything else to me. She's a coward."

No, Mr. Cuthbertson. When someone hands you something laden with feces you throw it away as any same person would do. Not a lack of courage, sir, merely a modicum of this thing we refer to as good taste.
