At least seven of Ann Coulter's approximately 100 clients dropped her column this week, meaning more than 90 are keeping the feature -- at least for now.

E&P called some newspapers to find out why they've opted to continue publishing her in the wake of Coulter's March 2 "faggot" reference about former Sen. John Edwards (and her previous incendiary comments).

"She didn't use that language in her column," said Michael P. Clark, editorial page editor of The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville. If she had used the F-word slur in her Universal Press Syndicate feature, he added, "we would have edited it out."

Clark declined further comment, except to conclude: "We plan to keep her column."

The Casper Star-Tribune also plans to continue publishing Coulter. "I don't like Ann Coulter, but many of my readers do," said Clark Walworth, editor of the Wyoming daily. "And I resent being lectured to by people who don't even subscribe to my paper."

1. Oh Mr. Walworth needs some emails

These are the same people who resent the rest of the country having input on "their" national parks and forests. He sounds a bit like the people who resented 'being lectured to' about stopping lynchings and cross burnings and church bombings. Gads. And in Wyoming. When will people stop supporting hate.
