Bugged!

That's what Mrs. Sage is.  After learning of the abuse Ann Coulter had to endure from the assembled viragos on "The View", from Whoopi Goldberg in particular, the Mrs. wondered aloud, and again, why it is that the conservative cause today is defended most boldly chiefly by women:  Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, et al.  Where, she asks, are the men?

The simple answer is of course Political Correctness

Conservative women are afforded a measure at least of immunity from elite liberal media persecution because they are a women.  And that immunity is not limited to gender.  Imagine any and all politically correct categories and the same protections apply.  Race: Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Congressman Alan West.  Ethnicity:  Dinesh D'souza, Governor Nikki Haley.  Religion (other than Christianity):  Norman Podhoretz, Michael Medved.  Disability:  Charles Krauthammer (also Jewish, a two-fer)   

Which, by the way, makes Rush Limbaugh and his success an even more amazing story.

The Sage is back.
