found this interesting little story from the NY Post.

small excerpt:

"John Barrie, the creator of a leading plagiarism-recognition system, claimed he found at least three instances of what he calls "textbook plagiarism" in the leggy blond pundit's "Godless: the Church of Liberalism" after he ran the book's text through the company's digital iThenticate program.

He also says he discovered verbatim lifts in Coulter's weekly column, which is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers, including the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Sun-Sentinel and Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

Barrie, CEO of iParadigms, told The Post that one 25-word passage from the "Godless" chapter titled "The Holiest Sacrament: Abortion" appears to have been lifted nearly word for word from Planned Parenthood literature published at least 18 months before Coulter's 281-page book was released."

Is the fact that this makes me smile un-Christian?!? (Keep in mind, I am a liberal Christian ...)

Ann Coulter is a bitch from hell. I can say that here, can't I? I mean you can say bitch and hell on network TV, right?

Pretty much anything you want to say about her here is fair game - especially if it involves weaponry.

She is a disgusting pig. Sadly, there must be many others since her books sell.

No mominator, thast definitely does not make you a bad person! That woman makes me violently ill. I would like to meet her audience - scary as they likely are. I just want to see the caliber of people I'd be dealing with.

Oh, mom, it made me smile more than a little bit, though not as much as being an accused felon!
