Wolcott's exactly right. There is a double standard in play, but even considering that, I can't believe she can get away with that characterization.
I know he uses the double standard to make the point, but honestly, it's a distraction: what she said is, all by itself, outside the bounds. Particularly because, unlike her "invade, kill, convert" comment, there's no hyperbole or potential humor in it.
I guess I should say, should be outside the bounds. We'll see if it is.
Nice catch. Someone somewhere had a clue.
is arabic ancestry synonymous with dyspepsia? i never knew.
For synonyms of "Ann Coulter," check out the Shakespearean Insulter.
"Thou spleeny pox-marked malt-worm!"
arab as race/ethnicity, arab as "shoppingcart baglady" "unwanted old hag" , or arab as horse. not that either is cool unless you're horatio alger, but, just as a clue to what exactly she seemed to think she might be trying to say.
? of course on the obvious question thing.
Walter,
This one might be even more apt:
"Thou beslubbering weather-bitten flax-wench!"
