Anti-Palin tempest in a teapot? “Fog of war describes Twitter in a nutshell”
"This has been a long tease with Sarah Palin, and at some point that tease has just got to go away. What's going to happen next," snickered Laura Ingraham (above left) to guest Ann Coulter last night as the two blonde bombshells shared what struck us as a covenly caterwaul over the Mama Grizzly's disintermediating GOP primary tactics. Twitter buddy Charles @repub9989 thinks it's a jealous-woman thing, but then there's Red State's Erick Erickson's complaint. See below for more, and click here for The Right Scoop's video.

"Fog of war describes Twitter in a nutshell," twittered Moe Lane this afternoon in response to our attempt to defuse a friendly-fire incident over our blogfriend's preference for announced Lone-Star candidate Rick Perry vs our own first love, unannounced shoot-to-where-it's-going Sarah Palin:
Oh. Didn't realize you were a Perry supporter. Just retweeting a tweet that made sense to me. Reminds me of the fog of war.
We were but two hand-to-hand combatants in an army of cyberwarriors locked in a fiery internecine battle that erupted this morning between Palinistas and everyone else on our side of the aisle in the wake of a dishy catfest last night between mischief-maker Ann Coulter and host Laura Ingraham, subbing for O'Reilly …

Ann Coulter still hangs out with Bill Maher, close friends. (Hannity had her admit that on his show).
No self-respecting conservative woman would ever hang out with a liberal Rat that cannot talk about conservative women without using the most offensive word in the English language, the c-word.
Ann Coulter, people, is a very sick person. Sarah Palin is like a light that shines on the dirt and expose them for who they are.
Coulter has the ugliest voice I have ever heard and she dares to criticize Sarah’s voice, unbelievable!
Dearest Ricky, I totally agree with you. The gnarling whine of Coulter’s voice makes me want to kill and maim!
I actually kind of feel bad for Laura. She really has no idea what she’s done. Her Stanford roots are showing and they have been for several years now. She and Ann really show themselves to be ignorant of Palin. Anyone saying Palin doesn’t tackle substance has been so engrossed in their navels that they have never looked at Palin’s Facebook posts. All the posts are is substance and policy. It really shows them, and anyone else who uses that argument, to be ignorant and not intellectually inquisitive. They are mired in their own ideas and have no desire or gumption to challenge them, even in their own minds. And yet, we’re supposed to accept their high and mighty political analysis as accurate? I used to listen to Laura but stopped a long time ago. She is very out of touch with what is going on. They both stepped in it big time and I’m embarassed at the catty image of women they reinforced.
It pains me to hear of this. I have liked both Ann and Laura for a long time.
But I like Sarah more.
It would seem that Coulter and Ingraham are both members of the large number of conservative women that for some reason or another really dislike Palin. Anne is witty but lacks depth (read her columns or books she has any number of witty rejoinders, funny descriptions of progressives and bon mots that have you chuckling) in analysis of the important issues (sort of like her shows with Bill Maher). I really don’t follow Ingraham a lot so I don’t know whether her issues with Palin have been around for awhile or this is a recent development but as I mentioned maybe she also seems to suffer from this Palin envy that has afflicted so many conservative woman (or to be more precise GOP women).
The question I’d like to ask both of them is whether they would support Palin if she entered and won the GOP nomination?
Ann and Laura are fine, and are 1000X as intelligent as Palin!
I agree that Sarah’s voice is more pleasant than Ann’s (STFU, please, Ann!) but otherwise…
We can’t turn on EVERYONE in the conservative movement just because they go after Palin. If anyone of you knew 1/100th of what I knew about Palin in Alaska, you’d agree.
Ann Coulter’s voice may be unpleasant, but she’s been about as unwavering as they come. I thought that the “Friends don’t friends drive Republican” crap was a mindset of the elitist left. I live in a VERY liberal place (check my IP address, Dan — you will agree) and it absolutely sucks that there are lib-yoo-ruls who will literally cease to speak to you if you self-identify as either Republican or Conservative. Ask Stefan Sharkansky! So my answer is, “So what if Ann Coulter is a friend of Bill Maher?” We are conservatives, which means we don’t pull that elitist discriminatory crap that is the preserve (or should be) of liberals.
FFS… Ann has had the cojones (substitute female equivalent in polite language) to question anti-McCarthyism. Ann’s creds (and Laura’s creds, too) are so beyond reproach that I wonder if those who criticize her are wolves in the fold.
Sheez… Maybe when someone like Ann Coulter, shrill voice and all, begins to question Palin (in a manner that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE) it is time for the rest of us to lend an ear.
Reviewing commentary on the debates, Perry isn’t going to put Shape Shifter away and to my surprise Bachmann may have stripped a gear.
Watching the Stacy McCain clip from IA, with Michele recounting Jonathan’s two-man assault on the Philistines, its obvious she’s a place holder, carrying the fight with the main force in reserve. But she’s not hanging with the tenacity Newt has.
I will not vote for Romney, token opposition to evil is evil.
I’d schtup Ann [more commentary to follow (well ... actually, I'm composing a blog post now [say it isn't so elmo!])]. Oond no, I deen’t watch the Masters debate.
Carry on ….
OK now, y’all can exhale. And take a breath. Here it is!

Unexpectedly…
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New U.S. jobless claims rose unexpectedly last week, further evidence of a weak labor market just hours before President Barack Obama delivers a major address to Congress on the issue.
Applications for unemployment benefits rose to 414,000 in the week ending September 3 from an upwardly revised 412,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Wall Street analysts had been looking for a dip to 405,000.
Nice add, htw … as a victim of:
“lib-yoo-ruls who will literally cease to speak to you if you self-identify as either Republican or Conservative”
Losing a longtime dear friend (nasty that bit was), when some eight years ago. I crossed over from Private Idaho (wading through the river denial).
The topic (thread/post) at hand? A perfectly unneeded distraction. I’d promise/say … pffft … I’m through with it. But we all know (yes we do). This ain’t the end of it (some lady has yet to sing). And I’d make/repeat the same point, ’bout the origin of said same distraction, and the needlessness thereof. But the drywall has enough holes (head sized/shaped) already.
“lib-yoo-ruls who will literally cease to speak to you if you self-identify as either Republican or Conservative”
It’s not a bad thing!
There is something to that. Conservatives, and Republicans, don’t have the spine to do that. They are really fakes, posers, of no principles. They have no gravitas.
It’s why some conservatives have a problem with the Tea Partiers. The Tea folks don’t go along to get along. The Republican/Conservative sees THAT, and it shows them what cowards they have been. They can’t admit it, to themselves.
Ah yes, portside comprehension. Political advice from the Russ Feingold School of Political Analysis – ain’t it great?
Of course, it’s always possible Coulter is being wildly sarcastic.
I am disppointing with Ann Coulter and I have stop reading her articles. She must have been a big fan of Mitt Romney. If Romney does get the nominee, the Republican Party will lose the election in 2012. The conservatives will stay at home on Election Day and not vote for Romney. I will not vote for Romney. Romney is not a real true coservative and he is just like another liberal Democrat. Romney is hurting the Republican Party. Maybe Sarah Palin can get into the race. I am afraid that we might have Obama back in the White House for another four more years until 2016.
