Ann Coulter is an "Oral Whore" and it is about time that people began to realize that!
Augusta Editor Explains Why He Dropped Coulter Column:
NEW YORK The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has become the second newspaper to drop Ann Coulter's column this month, explaining that her 'stridency' had crossed the line.
Coulter, of Universal Press Syndicate, is being replaced by another conservative columnist -- Michelle Malkin of Creators Syndicate.
'We're a conservative editorial page,' Chronicle Editorial Page Editor Michael Ryan told E&P today, noting that the paper also runs columnists such as Robert Novak, George Will, and Walter Williams along with liberal Ellen Goodman.
Ryan emphasized that the paper wouldn't have dropped Coulter if she had made 'one or two' controversial comments. 'But it came to the point where she was the issue rather that what she was writing about,' he said, adding that Coulter's reputation has become mixed even among conservatives.
He also observed that the situation was 'becoming kind of a broken record' as Coulter constantly promoted her new book and took swipes at The New York Times. Plagiarism charges were not a factor, said Ryan, noting that those allegations haven't been proved.
