Arizona Newspaper Drops Coulter Column
My opinion David Stoeffler: Opinion pages get a makeover

More words. More letters. No more Ann Coulter.

Since my arrival here nine weeks ago, we've been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work aimed at making the Arizona Daily Star a better newspaper.

(snip)

Finally, we've decided that syndicated columnist Ann Coulter has worn out her welcome. Many readers find her shrill, bombastic and mean-spirited. And those are the words used by readers who identified themselves as conservatives.

Taking her place on Saturdays will be Tony Snow, host of "The Tony Snow Show," syndicated nationally on Fox News Radio, and "Weekend Live with Tony Snow" on Fox News Channel. He has worked at a number of daily newspapers and is a former speechwriter for former President George H.W. Bush.

2. This is terrible news!
Ms. Coulter is the standard-bearer for the neocons.

How will right-wingers in Arizona be able to know the truth without Ann? Who will tell them what to think?

8. Yeah, trading Little Arfin' Annie for Tony Snowjob
I'm not sure they've elevated the level of their discourse any.
