FBI profiler reportedly helps Ann Coulter

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May. 11 (UPI) -- An FBI profiler reportedly played a role in ending the Florida investigation into whether conservative pundit Ann Coulter committed voting fraud.

Supervisory Special Agent Jim Fitzgerald, who works at the Behavioral Sciences Bureau in Quantico, Va., told the Palm Beach County detective investigating Coulter that he had been involved in tracking a stalker going after the right-wing glamour girl, The Palm Beach Post reported.

After moving to Palm Beach, Coulter allegedly gave her real estate agent's address as her home when she registered to vote, which put her in the wrong precinct. Her lawyer, Marcos Jiminez of Miami, said she got erroneous advice from another lawyer.

The case was dropped without interviewing Coulter or her real estate agent.

"This doesn't bode well in terms of the public's impression that celebrities receive preferential treatment," Arthur Anderson, the county supervisor of elections, told the Post. "I'm curious about how anyone can justify the FBI's intrusion."

"A person who willfully submits any false voter registration information commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083." F.S.A. 104.011(2).

Coulter had signed an oath affirming "all information" included on her voter registration form was true, and that "if it is not true, I can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to $5,000 and/or imprisoned for up to five years."

Maybe it SHOULDN'T BE a felony, but for now, it's a felony, and the oath Coulter signed was quite explicit about that, so ignorance of the law isn't remotely credible.

Bloody Monday
Web Exclusive
By Michael Isikoff
Newsweek
May 14, 2007 - The White House was hit by two sudden resignations late Monday when Paul McNulty, a top Justice Department official, and Lanny Davis, the only Democratic member of the president’s civil liberties watchdog board, announced they were stepping down . . .

. . . Davis, a former Clinton White House official who had been named by President Bush to serve on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board, sent a letter to the White House and his fellow board members protesting the panel’s lack of independence. In recent months, Davis has had numerous clashes with fellow board members and White House officials over what he saw as administration attempts to control the panel’s agenda and edit its public statements . . .

Assign meanings to the numbers based on your preconceptions.

GOP (and CNN etc.) sliming of Pelosi and Reid may have been effective.

And/or the public frustration -- that we're STILL in Iraq -- is increasing.

http://galluppoll.com/content/?ci=27589
Congress, December 2006, Job Approval = 21%
Congress, February 2007, Job Approval = 37%
Congress, May 2007, Job Approval = 29%
President Bush's approval ratings have averaged 35% in Gallup surveys in 2007, with minor fluctuations.

But not every poll agrees with Gallup.

And Gallup was polling about "Congress" as a whole, not about the Democrats in Congress, who have a higher approval rating than does "Congress" as a whole, reflecting the fact that Congress isn't fully under the control of the Democrats.

Surveys show Pelosi's job approval rating holding steady around 45%. (See http://pollingreport.com/P.htm ) And without all that sliming, she might have rated even better.

Bush followers are now claiming that the latest Gallup poll shows that Pelosi has lower job approval than Bush. Not so. "Congress" has lower job approval than Bush, who has lower job approval than Pelosi.

Both kinds. Rosenberg and Dirks.

Trolls "plant seeds of doubt" and they encourage class consciousness and dissent?
