Worthy Of A Roll

In response to Saint Paul's post earlier today I couldn't agree more with his assertion that Ann Coulter is sexy. But being sexy and being beautiful are not the same thing. You can stare into the eyes of truly beautiful women for hours on end. You look at the face of Ann Coulter, see that certain naughty girl gleam in her eyes, and want to commence with the physical grappling tout suite. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

One final comment before we put the Coulter matter to bed (down Saint Paul, easy boy) needs to be made. Most of the prominent forces of the right (the WSJ editorial page, Andrew Sullivan, NRO, David Horowitz, Powerline, and us) have now publicly disavowed Coulter's latest work as well as the buffoonish rantings of Michael Savage. Even though they both claim to have a similar ideology as us, we were disturbed by their methods and rhetorical excesses and so have repudiated them.

Has anyone on the left done the same in the case of Michael Moore, a man guilty of presenting distortions and outright lies in a much more egregious manner than either Coulter or Savage?

The silence is deafening.
