By Mark Memmott, USA TODAY

BOSTON — USA TODAY's plan to have conservative columnist and author Ann Coulter write a daily opinion column from the Democratic convention was scrapped Monday after a dispute involving the first piece she submitted. Coulter was replaced by Jonah Goldberg, another conservative columnist and frequent CNN commentator.

Brian Gallagher, editor of USA TODAY's editorial page, said of Coulter: "We had a disagreement over editing. We worked diligently to resolve the differences and couldn't, so we decided to part ways." He said the column had "basic weaknesses in clarity and readability that we found unacceptable." LINK

"basic weaknesses in clarity and readability..." Hahahaha! No SHIT Brian! Golly dood, when did ya figger than one out! Jesus Christ, great revelations in journalism ay?

Some folks sure is late risers.
