Ann Coulter questions

The Associated Press reports today that infamous right wing pundit Ann Coulter is under investigation for charges of plagarism. But her publisher of "Godless," the Crown Publishing Group, issued a statement saying it had reviewed the "the allegations of plagiarism" in her book and "found them to be as trivial and meritless as they are irresponsible." The AP says that "the New York Post enlisted the Berkeley, Calif.-based iParadigms to run the author's material through its iThenticate software program, a web-based plagiarism detection system."

The Rude Pundit has been following this extensively, and many of his recent posts are on point. Seeing how it's not exactly a family-friendly blog (to put it lightly), I'll refrain from linkage and let Josh or another contributor link at their discretion.

"Crown Publishing Group, issued a statement saying it had reviewed the 'the allegations of plagiarism' in her book and 'found them to be as trivial and meritless as they are irresponsible.'"

What else would they say? Regardless, the woman is a walking contradiction and not worthy of the press time given to her.

I wish I could find anything about this other than a) crazy left people who just know she's guilty and b) crazy right wing people who are similarly assured of her innocence. Bleh.

That is because if you conclude she plagerized, you are a lefty and if you think she didn't, you are a righty.

We will only know if one of the groups she has allegedly failed to cite or plagerize, sues. Otherwise, it is just conjecture and she is basking in the free publicity.

I wonder if she really believes everything she says or it's just an act to make a living.

I always thought that Ann Coulter was dumb, and questioned anything she said as truthful...but I never dreamed she would be THIS dumb!!! She should be thrown in jail!
Of course, all the right wingers blame their sins on the left...how stupid do they think people are anyway?
