24 Nov 2004 The White Ann Coulter and Her Clone

I find it interesting that the journalist from the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot who called Michelle Malkin an “Asian Ann Coulter” used those words. Why didn’t he just refer to Michelle as “another Ann Coulter”?

After all, if Michelle Malkin is an “Asian Ann Coulter” (see David Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin), shouldn’t the Virginian-Pilot refer to the original Ann Coulter as “the White Ann Coulter”?

(Frankly, though, anyone who confuses Ann Coulter with Michelle Malkin hasn’t been paying attention. Maybe to some leftists, all right-of-center women who speak plainly seem alike, except for racial differences, of course. We wouldn’t want to judge people by the content of their character. That so 1963.)

Addendum: Dean’s Journal has an interesting take on this.
