Maybe Cheney will take her hunting

Perennial flatulence peddler Ann Coulter sure gets around.

It seems a war is brewing between Scary Ann and cartoonist Ted Rall.

Coulter allegedly went off on her usual hate laced rants at a Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington DC last Friday, saying "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times have made submissions."

Rall called the comments slanderous.

Not one to back down from a losing battle, Scary Ann repeated her "funny" in her column.

Rall is now threatening to sue and says he will do so if he can get enough donations to cover his legal expenses. So far, it looks like he's getting plenty:

Rall said people were voting roughly 3-1 in favor of suing. And he told E&P Monday that pledges are coming in fast. "If pledges continue to come in at the present rate, I'll have the $6,000 available by tonight," Rall said. "A lot of people are fed up with how Coulter has turned slandering liberals into a cottage industry and want to see her held to account. I'm actually fairly overwhelmed by the response -- more than 300 pledges, many in the $20 to $100 range."

It would be a helluva lot quicker and easier to just send her on a hunting trip with Dead Eye Dick.
