Apparently even USA Today can feel the winds of change coming. They no longer feel the need to print the likes of Ann Coulter. A person with all of the rhetorical flair of the unfortunately mentally disabled person you might find shambling down the street muttering endlessly about conspiracy theories. Example:
"My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention."
The real question is, why would we listen to her in the first place? What she says makes no sense. There are no facts. And she isn't funny.
Come to think of it, Rush Limbaugh calls his personal brand of nastiness (e.g. "They were just blowing off some steam.") humor. He's not funny either. I've listened for several hours now and he isn't funny in the slightest. The only time there is any laughter on the show is when he lets a liberal caller through only to verbally abuse them while laughing at them.
So, go USA Today! Let's keep it up. Let's leave newspaper column space for stories about facts and analysis, and not partisan mental meltdowns.
