I wasn't able to make it out to the panel discussion with contributors from Ig Publishing's Proud to Be Liberal anthology at Housing Works last night, which means I didn't get to ask Ted Rall face-to-face what the deal is with him and Ann Coulter. But as of last week, he said readers had pledged enough money for him to initiate his slander and libel suit against her after she joked at a conservative rally that he'd entered that Iranian Holocaust cartoon contest—or, as he puts it, "falsely claimed" he did. "Of course, should this move forward," he was careful to add, "I will rely upon those of you who have not contributed to keep the lawsuit going all the way to the end." Take that, you cheap bastards: If Ann Coulter isn't shamed into obscurity , it's your fault!
