I'm a liberal (lower case "l") and proud of it....

I've really disliked American writer Ann Coulter since I saw her on the 5th Estate telling the CBC interviewer that she thought Canadians were a bunch of liberal wimps. What an idiot. Rarely has someone actually made me want to reach through a TV screen and smack them. She'd written a book called "How to talk to a liberal if you really have to." There was a great moment on that 5th Estate piece where she argued with the interviewer about whether or not Canadian troops were ever in Vietnam - they weren't but you couldn't tell her that. He managed to momentarily upset her self-aggrandizement. It was a lovely moment.

Anyway, she's now written a new book in which she critisized some of the 911 widows. Yeah - apparently they are "enjoying" their husbands' death. Here's a bit from CNN. It's been all over the news.

So, is she an idiot or simply really good at marketing...

She is absolutely vile. You should go and read the entry about her on Wikkipedia. Personally I think she does it for the marketing value. People are just so offended by her that they hang on her every word, a little like a car wreck-you just can't look away. Unfortunately until the media stops paying attention to her her awful opinions will just keep getting out there.
