Cornelia De Lange Syndrome is identified through certain facial characteristics that are common in all people with this syndrome. Long eyelashes, bushy eyebrows, small stature, protruding teeth.
There are behavioral characteristics as well. The most difficult of these, I believe, is the self-injurious behavior. Biting of the hand is apparently common in these patients. It is believed that this behavior could be due to gastro-intestinal difficulties common with this syndrome
Ann Coulter’s defense of the military’s handling of the Pat Tillman case:
Liberals will even turn a war hero like Pat Tillman into an anti-war cause celebre posthumously — so he can’t disagree. Tillman died in a friendly fire incident that occurred — unlike Max Cleland’s accident — during actual combat with the enemy.
Because they are screaming, hysterical women, liberals treat friendly fire like a drunk driving accident. But friendly fire has been a part of war from time immemorial.
Liberals have an insane, litigious view of the military: There’s been an accident in warfare, let’s sue! It’s as mad as the line from “Dr. Strangelove”: “Gentlemen! No fighting in the War Room!” Golly jeepers, accidents can’t happen in a war!
And later in the article she somehow draws the conclusion that friendly fire is welcomed by POWs. So I guess that makes it ok:
But the POWs weren’t denouncing the U.S. military for risking their lives with “friendly fire.” They weren’t crying Mommy, investigate this! Get me a trial lawyer!If their camp had been hit by American bombs, it would have been as the POWs were shouting: “God bless President Nixon!”
That’s from their own mouths; that’s what’s in their hearts. Friendly fire — to a nation that hasn’t lost its wits — is part of waging war.
First of all the dog-in-heat has totally missed the point about the Pat Tillman case. The disgusting injustice wasn’t just the friendly fire itself (although it is still horrible considering that it is so much more preventable than it was thirty years ago), it was the way the Pentagon and the White House lied about the circumstances involved, portrayed it as a daring fire-fight, and didn’t even tell the man’s family how their own beloved had been killed.
Second, she forgot a space between “lawyer!” and “If” in the second quote.
And third, friendly fire is usually caused by someone that doesn’t have their wits about them, not by a nation that has its wits.
Fourth, friendly fire is a part of war. So I guess in her world, Americans should be happy when these things happen because it is a sign we are still fighting.
And lastly, CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE SAID GOD BLESS PRESIDENT NIXON!!!!! MY GOD!!!
Lol. Ok, I’m done.
