I'm no fan of Ann Coulter - not her opinions, not her sarcasm, not her unsuccessful attempts at wit. But of course, she has the right to write, and the right to sell books to whomever is interested in her drivel.
This morning, however, I witnessed just how far over the top she can go just to draw attention to herself. During an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today Show, in which her two most common answers were "I don't know" and "that's why I wrote this book," I listened, in disgust, to her villification of some of the women widowed on 9-11 and the fact that some of them have spoken out against the administration and thrown support behind political candidates. She jumped on the conservative name-calling bandwagon and called them "Grieferatzis." That is not journalism, it is not op-ed, it is not political discourse.
It is just crass.
