Brief Digression: Ann Coulter

Wow, I thought Matt Lauer did an ok job, but the BBC's Jerry Paxman makes Ann Coulter look even more ridiculous than I ever thought possible. She was on his news program upon the release of her latest rampant idiocy committed to the page, Godless.

And what a beautiful introduction:

"Your publishers gave us Chapter 1, Ann Coulter... I've read it. Does it get any better?"

Ouch.



The interview starts off with her grade-school illogic regarding evolution and just keeps getting better (well, until the end, when it runs into some silly World Cup coverage, something about a sport they call "football").

Unrelated: Does CNN's Nancy Grace have to travel to a major city to shoot her shows and segments, or do they have some kind of backdrop setup in her double-wide?

I just noticed that her current web contribution to the national discourse is an online poll asking "Do you believe in psychic detectives?" The results indicate that 56% of the respondents believe in them, and 44% of the respondents think the other 56% are really, really dumb.
