Ann Coulter totally got smacked down by a Canadian news correspondent Wednesday night.
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."
That'll teach Coulter to appear on a TV station that doesn't script its "debates." (via Will Pitt)
UPDATE: Turns out, Ann's jumped the shark. Who knew? She barely made it onto the 50 Most Loathsome People in America list:
Coulter plummets down the list as she slips into irrelevance. As her columns degenerate further into absurd, incoherent attacks against her own personal paranoid fantasy of fanged, drooling, Saddam-loving liberals who hate America and childish France-bashing, we find our outrage slowly giving way to a baffled "I can't believe I used to go out with you" feeling. Her arguments are ridiculous, her vitriol forced, her hatchet face even harder to look at. Still, she insulted a one-armed war veteran, called reports of the hundreds of tons of missing munitions in Iraq false, claimed Wesley Clark was pro-infanticide, and blamed Abu Ghraib on the presence of women in the armed forces--they're not all like you, Ann--and on and on. It's just not worth debunking someone who has no credibility in the first place.
I can't argue with that. But, to whom will we now turn for incoherent, vitriolic entertainment? Michelle Malkin?UPDATE: See the video of Ann's performance! Crooks and Liars has the video (via Aravosis at AMERICAblog).
