Mad Ann Speaks to the Current Crisis

"No civilized society allows women in the military--this is separate and apart from the fact that you should not be allowing women to fight. "
Ann Coulter from an interview with KABC radio's Al Rantel 5-5-04

Does this mean Ann Coulter thinks Israel is not a "civilized country"?
Last I heard, Israel was way out in front of America in terms of fostering gender equality in the armed forces-they actually draft women.
Maybe this foreshadow a break between the dementia right and the Jewish State?
Perhaps Miss. Coulter is agitating for the U.S. to join the Arab boycott...after all, women are kept out of the armed forces in many-many Arab countries...by that logic Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Taliban's Afghanistan are all civilized nations.

I usually refrain from chasing after Ann Coulter's outrages, she makes herself too damn easy a target and besides, everyone goes after her...she is like the electric rabbit at Wonderland.
Anyway, the way she smokes she'll soon be dead of lung cancer so it's no fun dicking on the sick and unable like that.
Laura Ingraham though, is fair game to the Chimes at Midnight. Here I confess a mercenary construction, I'm down on Laura mostly because she makes herself unavoidable to me thanks to her many appearances on the Imus in the Morning program.
Moreover there is just something tragic and pathetic about this lonely dipsomaniacal Ivy Leaguer doing her comical impersonations of liberal politicians like a tourettes victim into the phone in some wretched bedroom somewheres.
Laura is sad and broken, Ann is just plain desperate for attention.
There is a difference.
In that above quoted interview, Ann also denounces her gender as being "vicious"....too vicious for the army by extension.
IF you follow her logic though you have to ask...is there such a thing as being too vicious for punditry?
If she thinks women shouldn't carry guns, then why the hell should they be allowed to opine on the public airwaves?
Ann's thinking leads inevitably to a perfectly smooth inescapable intellectual cul-de-sac...one even she can't get out of.
Well if you want the rest of the interview it was blogged here.
Check yesterday's posting for the details.

Happy Mother's Day...
