Coulter: "Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?"

McKeown interrupts: "Canada didn't send troops to Vietnam."

Coulter: "I don't think that's right."

McKeown: "Canada did not send troops to Vietnam."

Coulter (looking desperate): "Indochina?"

McKeown: "Uh no. Canada ...second World War of course. Korea. Yes. Vietnam No."

Coulter: "I think you're wrong."

McKeown: "No, took a pass on Vietnam."

Coulter: "I think you're wrong."

McKeown: "No, Australia was there, not Canada."

Coulter: "I think Canada sent troops."

McKeown: "No."

Coulter: "Well. I'll get back to you on that."

McKeown tags out in script:

"Coulter never got back to us -- but for the record, like Iraq, Canada sent no troops to Vietnam."

Good, but if in addition to intellectually disgracing her the interviewer had thrown a pie in her face for good measure, it would have been even more satisfying.

[Thomas Veil]

Typical Coulter. Anybody else would admit they're mistaken 'way before Coulter did, especially to a Canadian interviewer. But she's such a b----, she can't handle the possibility that she could be wrong.

Why do TV networks or publishers still treat this woman as if she has any credibility? :mad:

[solvs]

She's arguing with a Canadian about this. She must not realize it's not like the US up there. You can't just say something like that and they let it go. I'll get back to you on that. Why not just say she's wrong? Or, I don't know... get her facts first?

Oh, that's right. It's Ann Coulter. That woman makes Republicans look bad. And nowadays, that says a lot.

[pseudobrit]

Al Franken was right.

Right-wing pundits just make **** up.

Hey Ann: you suck, eh?

[Thomas Veil]

Right-wing pundits just make **** up.Read David Brock's "Blinded by the Right". Brock is the former right-wing writer who participated in many of the attempts to smear Clinton. He tells in considerable detail of how all kinds of salacious rumors -- which apparently are a "normal" part of Arkansas politics -- were blown up into mainstream "news stories". Troopergate, the Juanita Broderick "rape"...in investigating these and other Clinton "scandals", he admits that in every case, his sources had secret agendas or were otherwise unreliable. Outside of Clinton cheating on his wife (which we all knew about), Brock could never find any solid proof of any of the stuff he wrote. Yet it was printed anyway.

I'd like to request a friendly amendment to the subject of this thread:

"Ann Coulter has a lot of fun at our expense"

More accurate, I think.

[chanoc]

Typical Coulter.

Well, it's Fox news and she is right-wing neoconservative xian b!+<h - like a hand for a glove. And do not even get me started on Hannity, I would love to pop a cape in his arse. :mad:

Coulter should be kidnapped and sold into a Russian mafia sex slave ring in Europe doing severe whipping videos. :D

I read that book while in Mexico last year. Quite an eye-opener and well worth a read.
