....that Coulter is smart enough to have lawyers who vetted her book and have told her what she can and can't be successfully sued for. Be careful what you wish for regarding lawsuits. Remember when those reporters in Florida sued a Fox-owned station because the station owners wanted them to report findings that were the opposite of what the reporters actually found? They went to court claiming Fox fired them unjustly because Fox wanted them to lie and reporters can't lie. The judge said "Sorry. There is no law requiring reporters to tell the truth or requiring that news outlets only report thr truth. You lose." And truth in news was thrown out that day. That day in a Florida court resulted in the formation of the Fox News cable channel as we know it today. A judge said "There is no legislation in this country that says news outlets are only allowed to report the truth in this country" and the floodgates opened.

Coulter didn't say "These women enjoyed their husbands' deaths. Their husbands were planning on divorcing them." What she said was she had never seen women who enjoyed their husbands' deaths so much and "Who knows if their husbands weren't planning on divorcing them?" Thus she can say she was only expressing her opinion on their feelings based on actions she'd seen and that her 'divorce' remark was merely conversational speculation.

Yeah, she's a bitch, all right. But she revels in being a bitch .. it's her identity and she makes her living being a bitch. She can probably claim as much right to airing her specualtions as Joan Rivers does. And she may even be able to countersue if someone accuses her of slander and they can't prove it in a court of law.

It's easy to say "Sue the bitch" from your computer chair, but much harder to actually sue someone and get the result you expect. There is risk; risk you don't have to take when you are egging someone else on to do the suing. And no, you can't get in on a class action suit against Coulter. She hasn't caused you to lose money, or a job or your status in the community. And she never directly referenced you in her remarks, which should be necessary to prove slander. Find out what the law actually says before you urge others into a courtroom.

If the 9/11 widows actually have a shot at Coulter, good for them. I hope they can sue her. But something tells me Ann Coulter, a lawyer herself, knows chapter and verse of slander laws, that she went over them with her lawyers and memorized them before she even penned her first book.

I live in NYC and on Long Island and whenever I hop over to Jersey to visit friends in Fort Lee or malls in Paramus, I always fill 'er up. Gas is cheaper in NJ than in NY and I don't have to get out of my car. NJ will gain NOTHING by repealing the pump law. Keep things the way they are, or you'll be paying NY prices and having to get out of the car on the ice, thereby possibly slipping and getting a concussion.

George W Bush has never listened to George HW Bush and who knows that better than anyone else? Why, George HW Bush, that's who. I doubt, at this stage of the game, that Bush pere would in his wildest dreams think that the Dauphin would listen to him, fire Rumsfeld and put Bush pere's handpicked succesor in Rummy's place.

Come on....it just doesn't make sense. The only time Junior has accepted a helping hand from Dad is when there's a great deal of money involved. Money that Junior needs to extricate himself from a financial mess. But Junior doesn't think there is a mess going on. Financially, he thinks he and the US are doing fine. Economic growth continues, if a little slowed down recently. The deficit? Junior likes deficits and so does Cheney. Cheney claims that Reagan proved that deficits are a good thing.

So there's no reason to believe that Bush Sr would think he had a chance to change Junior's mind. Junior doesn't think he needs to be rescued and Bush Sr knows that's how Junior feels. Dda knows there's nothing that can be done with Junior when he thinks he's sitting on "top o' the world, Mom."
