WorldNetDaily: Coulter's F-bomber a future journalist?

Maybe, or maybe not. The editors of The Daily Texan, the college newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin, say that Ajai Raj worked for the paper for a scant two weeks, and then simply stopped showing up for work. I would hope that no respectable paper in the real world would put up with that kind of behavior, particularly from an entry-level reporter. (Actually, considering what else the Mainstream Media puts up with, even when it gets them into trouble, I probably can't repose more than sixty-percent confidence in that. But I digress.)

The latest on this case is that he claims that he's been arrested just for the words he spoke. Don't try to kid us, Ajai! When you said the bad words and made a worse gesture, organizers asked you to leave, and when you wouldn't leave of your own accord, then you got arrested. (The charge: disorderly conduct, which is a Class C misdemeanor--something about as serious as a traffic ticket for careless driving.)

And one more thing: At Democratic Underground, he admits to having been a jackass. Funny--isn't that the mascot of the Democratic Party? Hmmm--I always thought that was more apt than the Democrats wanted to admit.

Ann Coulter herself expressed surprise at his arrest. She told Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes that his was the most articulate question that anyone asked all evening--which doesn't say much for the rest of the participants. In fact, she said that one other participant even more deserving of arrest was the Arab student who said that he "supported [his] fellow Arabs." In response, Ann asked him,

Which Arabs are you supporting, the ones who flew planes into the buildings, or the ones who just voted in Iraq?

That's a very good question--and I'd like an answer myself.
