"Since the attack of 9-11, we've won two wars, liberated millions of people from monstrous regimes, presided over one election in Afghanistan and are about to see elections in Iraq and among the Palestinian people. Focusing like a laser beam on the big picture, liberals are upset that, during this period, the secretary of defense used an autopen." Ann Coulter, http://www.anncoulter.org/default.htm, December 22, 2004.

You want Ann Ostrich on your side. She is loyal to a fault. If the Secretary of Defense were charged with murder AO would defend him at a friendly rate. Her first defense would be something about Gore, then Clinton, or maybe Clinton then Gore. In this case, the charge was not murder but mere insensitivity. You see when you die in a war, your family gets a form letter signed by the Secretary. Up until recently, the Secretary was using a machine to sign his name for him. Having been criticized, he will now sign the letters personally. That should have been the end of it, but not for AO.

AO thinks it was OK for the Secretary to use the machine in lieu of signing his name. I don't know why. How long could it take to sign such letters. Who would advise him not to sign such letters personally. There must be some letters that he signs personally, why not these?
