OK, so Ann Coulter gives conservatives, blondes, and Christians a very bad name.
For relief, try Blue Girl, Red State, the proprietor of which describes herself thus:
Given that, I'll bet you'd be surprised to find this post: Brent Bozell Does His Best Impression of a Crazed Liar, in which she takes on (and eviscerates in a style that would make Ted Nugent proud) those neo-cons who still try to blame Bill Clinton for ruining the military:
It goes on into greater detail and greater invective from here.
This is a blog worth reading.

I’m an over- educated, pissed-off redhead with a broadband connection and a credit card; fiercely dedicated to the Constitution; here to remind y’all that America is founded on four boxes: 1.)The Soapbox. 2.)The Ballot Box. 3.)The Jury Box. 4.)The Ammo Box. They should be used in that order. This is my soapbox.

Oh, now this kind of thing makes me laugh out loud:
In the Washington Post today, Brent Bozell, the president of the conservative Media Research Center, argues that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “may have the Beltway crowd in his corner, but grass-roots conservatives aren’t sold.” Claiming that McCain “is the one who arguably least qualifies as a Reagan conservative,” Bozell suggests ways that the Arizona senator can motivate the conservative movement.
But in making his argument, Bozell falsely claims that it was the Clinton administration, not the Bush administration, that created the current strains on the “military infrastructure“:
"This is what conservatives call on him to do:
McCain must present a strategy to defeat the threat of radical Islam. He needs to call on the United States to rebuild its military infrastructure, so devastated by the Clinton administration."
So we're blaming Bill Clinton for the damage done to our military because of the Iraq War, now five years in? Let's do some math--the Iraq War is five years old this month. FIVE YEARS! And the military has been under the current Commander in Chief for Seven Years, two Months (or so). Bill Clinton left office in January 2001 and handed over a military that had 8 of its 10 active duty divisions--and virtually ALL of its Reserve and Guard component--ready to go to war and fully equipped and damned near full strength. He handed over Marine MEUs and Aircraft Carrier battlegroups that were trained and ready to deploy because they had been training and deploying and keeping our interests overseas defended admirably. Hundreds of pilots were experienced, having used Iraq as a live fire training range [while enforcing the No-Fly zones] for years. I served during that time, and that was a time when we were throwing criminals and gang members and anyone who didn't shape up out of the military as quickly as the rules allowed. NOW? Now we're keeping all of the broke dick people in, recruiting the criminals, and letting the gang members run wild in family housing units all over the country.
