NEW YORK In her latest print column, Ann Coulter repeats the verbal statement that caused much discussion in the blogosphere during the past week and drew a threat by editorial cartoonist Ted Rall to take her to court.

Coulter, a Universal Press Syndicate columnist, had said last Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.: "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times have made submissions."

In her latest column, posted today on AnnCoulter.com, Coulter writes that one "Iranian newspaper is soliciting cartoons about the Holocaust. (So far the only submissions have come from Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times.)"

When asked for his response, Rall told E&P today: "Now it's slander AND libel." He added that Coulter's decision to repeat her remark could make his case stronger.

As E&P reported earlier today, Rall said his attorney has told him he'd have a case if he sued Ann Coulter. But the cartoonist also said he'd need to raise more funds if he's going to take legal action.

3. I absolutely support Rall, but this will go nowhere.

I equate it to the jokes told on late night shows like Leno & Letterman. Usually their punchline is something untrue as well. When you're famous, it's nearly impossible to win these things. I hope he does though.

4. UPI = The Moonie news syndicate

And Rev. Moon -- the self-proclaimed Messiah/Second Coming of Christ -- is very tight with the whole Bush clan.

Occult black ops shennanigans. And their mouthpiece -- UPI -- employs Coulter. 'nuf said.

5. Seems to me a person who committed voter fraud just doesn't

have much credibility.
