13370 [lbo-talk] forthcoming book on Ann Coulter costs Reuters editor his job -- rank: 1000

<http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/> [by Jake Tapper] Doing the Math So yesterday, amidst the Foley grime and slime, some more consequential news: Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-VA, returning from a trip to Iraq, offered a bleak assesment of the situation there. "I assure you, in two or three months, if this thing hasn't come to fruition and if this level of violence is not under control and this government able to function, I think it's a responsib ...
