RE: Liberal war on terrorism heats up: DeLay finally captured

This must be an example of how Ann never takes Republicans to task. Our liberal friends will completely miss that Ann is skewering the entire GOP national leadership in this article. All they will see is the shots she takes at liberals. Of course it wouldn't be Ann Coulter without some shots at liberals. Any other condition would be like Molly Ivins without her ubiquitous potshots at men and/or conservatives.

I have to take issue with Ann on one account, but only conditionally. She seems to be implicitly positioning DeLay as a "conservative." If she means he is a cultural conservative, I'll give her that. However, if she means that he is a limited government libertarian, then I have to disagree. DeLay is a typical neo-con. He may even be an archetype neo-con. He is the man who said last year's budget was as small as it could possibly be. While I contend that neo-Marxists like DeLay probably are conservative when taken in the context of Hayek's lament, I don't think that is what Ann intended.

I am definitely not a DeLay fan, but the overall cowardly manner in which the GOP bailed out on him is consistent with their spineless behavior for the last six years.
