Photo gossip
: Gawker is adding party pix (the latest from crashing Jann Wenner’s Christmas party, complete with a party-happy GOP pin-up girl, Ann Coulter, chatting with Tim Robbins — political matter, meet political antimatter).

Funny!
It would be nice to read about Ann Coulter just once without all of the Hitler/Nazi references, though. At least this time we’re spared the “jokes” about her neck and gender.
I notice that Juan Cole defenders in the comments this week want to argue that name-calling proves Cole is right and his detractors have nothing. Wouldn’t this argument apply equally to Coulter? -
Well, yes it would, carsonfire. Don’t keep making sense. You’re killing the comment section!
If I were writing Gawker, instead of linking (yawn) Coulter with Hitler (why not Leni,too?) I might have linked to the horrifying reviews of Tim Robbins’ most recent turkey, “Embedded.” If Ann Marie weren’t so rigidly liberal, she might have snarkily questioned how Robbins’ could even show his face in public. E&P, summing up his latest catastrophe:
“The New York Times observed that even audience members sympathetic with Robbins’ political views “will quite possibly go from nodding in agreement to simply nodding off… It is hard to avoid the sensation that everything said here has been said before, in some cases many years before.”
“And that was one of the kinder reviews. The New York Daily News called it “slapdash” and “adolescent.” The Associated Press said it should have been called “Embalmed,” and added, “finding genuine wit in ‘Embedded’ is as difficult as finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.” Newsday observed that a hard look at the “upsetting combination” of the words “embedded” and “journalist” was overdue, but Robbins’ play is nothing but an “agitprop cartoon.” The New York Post, far to Robbins’ right, actually kept its criticism muted, finding the play “just a bore.”
