Ann Coulter admits sending fake anthrax to NY Times

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter admits to recent fake-Anthrax mailing
to NYT

If any of us admitted publicly to having committed a recent act of
terrorism, we'd be locked up immediately. But when lead Republicans
admit to such things, the Bush administration does nothing. Pat
Robertson suggests that the State Department should be nuked (he
really did), and no one bats an eye. Ann Coulter first suggests that
Timothy McVeigh should have considered blowing up the New York Times,
that the NYT executive editor should be executed, and this week,
according to published reports, Coulter says she sent fake Anthrax to
the New York Times (they received an envelope with white powder last
week).

Did Coulter send the fake Anthrax? She says she did.

Will she or any other conservative voicing support for terrorist acts
against Americans ever be held accountable by this administration? Or
at least by their own party? Or will Pat Robertson continue to be the
religious darling of the Republican party and the Bush White House,
and will Ann Coulter continue to receive her tens of thousands of
dollars in speaking fees at Republican conferences and events?

Unlikely. After all, we do have stem cells, gay marriage, and the flag
to worry about. Who can expect the Bush administration to be actually
worried about terrorism, especially when it comes from the mouths of
their biggest supporters.
