Check on rawstory.com as the afternoon progresses.

1. LOL - I love rawstory

waiting anxiously

[Erika]

2. The "right" is unraveling

How funny.

[havocmom]

3. link?

:shrug:

[jojo54]

8. Here's the rawstory link

http://www.rawstory.com/

It's front and center.

4. This is especially ironic, since

When Coulter makes overt citations to print sources, they often end up being false! cf New York Times on Dale Earnhardt.

5. Story will be worthless if it is not picked up by MSM

so I am not celebrating anything yet.

[stanwyck]

19. There is this slight upside

I could be wrong...but I think there's a backlash against Coulter with those MSM types who still have (very hidden) some shred of integrity. She's not getting as many gigs as she used to get. She was quite the media darling for a while. The "go to girl" for some lightning.
But. She seems to have lost momentum. I think some of the MSM don't book Coulter just so they can brag that they "don't book Coulter". And they can use this plagiarism as an excuse to the suits as to why they don't want her on their show.

[Hobarticus]

22. Her book-promoting appearances definitely were far fewer than before...

And when she was on screen, she was such a loon, that someone had to be asking themselves, "why did we book her?"

Go away, Ann, the crazy joke's gotten old.

6. HANG ON!!! TIN FOIL HAT!!

Are you telling that within hours of Coulter breaking ranks with the Cult of Bush, blaspheming the Diety, that she's nailed in a plagiarism scandal?

And that's not a coincidence?

[MuseRider]

9. That was fast!

Toe the line or your ass is grass? Hmmmmm.

[jojo54]

11. Damn, the hat theories are flying right now aren't they?

There's so much to speculate about right now, it's making me giddy.

I hadn't thought of that, jfxgillis. Hhhmmmmm, makes me wonder....

[jfxgillis]

12. Here's a quick way to check:

See if Drudge, too, picks this up.

If he puts it high on the page, the Bush Idolators are pushing the story.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

15. I thought Drudge & Coulter were sort of an item.

[jfxgillis]

18. He's gay and she's promiscuously not

Seriously.

They've been buddies for years, though, which is why if Drudge pushes this story it will almost have to be at the behest of his WH contacts.

[SeattleRob]

17. You're absolutely correct

If Bush's waterboy Drudge carries it, you know the Republicans are out to get her.

[BronxBoy]

13. Seems there's a subplot

Can you elaborate?

Thanks

[jfxgillis]

21. Coulter absolutely HAMMERED the Roberts pick

on her blog today.

"Souter in Roberts Clothing" is the title.

The funny thing is, in my opinion she's on to something.

Roberts is slimy motherfucking corrupt corporatist in the not-so-great tradition of the 19th century Railroad attorneys who dominated the Court.

But he's no social conservative of the Scalia/Thomas mold.

[BronxBoy]

26. Thanks

I saw that post right after I read this one. Seems like the bushies are going to have a hard time managing the fundie-corporatist rift.

This might get interesting.

[Bucky]

27. I was immediately suspicious of all that "One for the Base" spin

The talk about the "one for the base" over the Roberts appointment came
out way too fast. But oddly, I think having the nuttiest of the righties
attacking Roberts will probably work in his favor.

Just for the record, I hate it when things work out that way.

35. Reverse Psych 101

[Submariner]

16. I guess Karl is in the office today n/t

[Goldmund]

20. When did she break ranks with Chimpy?

I know nothing about this, please do tell. :)

[jfxgillis]

23. See #21 above

[Goldmund]

24. I dig, thanks!

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Very curious to see if this has anything to it

[Enraged_Ape]

10. The neocons are dropping the ball right and left

They are so far off their game, they don't know what in the heck to do. They are lost.

[Straight Shooter]

31. And they refer to Democrats as "trying to herd cats"

More and more it seems that trying to get Repubs to get their act together is beginning to resemble trying to herd a bunch of 3-legged blind cats, and all of them with the beginning stages of rabies.

[SeattleRob]

14. Keeping my fingers crossed

I can't wait to read the story - I wonder if she will be the next Jason Blair?

[fob]

25. Don't you have to be a JOURNALIST with at least a modicum of

credibilty before you can LOSE it?

That said, may she be laughed out of whatever hateful business she is in is called.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

29. Next Jason Blair?

Who cares? She's way past that point.

She's already the "next" Leni Riefenstahl. I doubt she can beat that.

[Coexist]

28. IT'S UP - GO CHECK IT OUT!

very graphic stuff.

[SeattleRob]

30. Just read it

It was mainly descriptions of things and eventhough she probably did cut and paste, I don't see much coming out of it. I was hoping for something more.

[LSK]

32. is everyone on DU now on rawstory???

The site is SLLLLLOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[LynneSin]

33. Good things come to those who wait

it's worth it!

[blonndee]

34. Woohoo! Busted. I've filed academic misconduct for this type of thing

with my freshmen.

You're going...down, MAnn.
