Read it and weep. (Letters).Let's just put aside the opening of the "Coulter Clash" review (July/August), in which Jamie Malanowski takes the usual swipes at the Ann Coulter's personal appearance, and concentrate, instead, on the article's closing paragraph. "Anybody can be snide," he writes. "Anybody can be small, and mean, and disdainful dis·dain·ful adj. Expressive of disdain; scornful and contemptuous. See Synonyms at proud. dis·dain  ful·ly adv. .

Our conservative-bashing journalist only proves Ann Coulter's entire point: that America's biased, left-leaning journalists are hell-bent on dismissing the attitudes, and squelching the voices, of conservatives. "Coulter's book is a waste of time," he writes. But in his suggestion that one would, therefore, be foolish to bother reading it, you just succeeded in perfectly demonstrating how very dead-on-the-money Ms. Coulter's thesis is.
