Here in Florida we're obsessed as never before with this week's start of hurricane season after a couple of years of clobbering. And I'm wondering how Ann Coulter would react if her multimillion-dollar cottage in Palm Beach were to be destroyed in the coming hurricane season. Would she forego all offers and manifestations of public aid, from federal flood insurance right on down through blue tarps and bottle of water from a FEMA coffee wagon?
Oh, I know, I know, she can afford to just jet off to the Rockies or some other place for the summer and then rebuild the place from pocket money - it's just that it would nice to see some of the people who are so abrasive about the misfortunes of others be on the receiving end.
At least our prayers in that regard were answered in the case of Haley Barbour's beach house.
