Ann Coulter

16 years ago she admitted she sent an envelope of white powder to the new york times, this was during the anthrax mailing scare.

Today would be about the time she would have gotten out of prison, that is, if it were you or I. But, because she was a repub, not even a slap on the wrist.

Seems she said she had sent some powder that had been received by the NYT a few days earlier back in 2006 during an interview with Womens Wear Daily... I can't find the actual interview but nobody took it seriously, simply Coulter being Coulter.

snip:

Bill Maher : All right, speaking of brave women, I have Ann Coulter waiting for me via satellite.

Richard Belzer : I'm going to leave.

[starts to walk off]

Bill Maher : Don't! No, no, you're not! Sit right there! You know what? This is what's wrong with America. People don't even want to listen to each other. She is a friend of mine, and you will listen.

Richard Belzer : She's a Fascist Party doll! Go ahead, just show her, baby. I think she's had some work done. But go ahead.

Bill Maher : No. SHUT UP, BELZER!

[to Ann]

Bill Maher : Boy, I'm trying to defend you, baby, but it ain't easy over here.

this story always stuck with me. The way nothing was made of it. People officials were absolutely terrified during the anthrax mail scare. I couldn't believe she wasn't charged with something for this.
