« Politician wades online incognito to applaud himself, amusing some natives | Main | When women who can count don't count: Office 2.0 conference speakers 98 percent male » September 1, 2006Ann Coulter on Chafee: 'They Shot the Wrong Lincoln'Shoot-from-the-hip right-wing columnist Ann Coulter tossed off a screed yesterday that castigates R.I. Sen. Lincoln Chafee for being the scion of a wealthy Republican family. (President Bush escapes her wrath for the same crime of being his father's son, however. ) In Coulter's version of reality, Chafee was plucked from a stable and installed in the Senate upon his father's death: When the farrier business proved too taxing for Chafee's intellect, he went into the family business -- politics. His father died in office, and Lincoln was appointed by the governor to serve out the remainder of Pop's term in the U.S. Senate. We who actually live here may remember that Chafee served six years on the Warwick city council and had been mayor of Warwick for seven years when Sen. John Chafee died in 1999 and his son was appointed to fulfill his term. He won the seat on his own in 2000, beating Democratic Rep. Robert Weygand. I hope Chafee's primary opponent, Steve Laffey, whose background as mayor of Cranston Coulter actually mentions, repudiates the support of this particular blonde cheerleader. Wishing death on those she disagrees with is despicable and brings no honor to those she supports: The headline of this Coulter column is "They Shot the Wrong Lincoln." Posted by Sheila Lennon
