Ann Coulter: Mission Implausible

I like this post at Buffalo Beast, with the snippet here (go read the whole thing):

Ann Coulter is not an intelligent person. She is not the right-wing equivalent of Michael Moore. She is just a worthless, hateful moron who deserves to die in the most painful way imaginable. It is unbelievable that this moronic cokehead is considered legitimate by our media, while a guy like Howard Zinn is "fringe."

Basically last week's rhetorical defecation from Coulter is a good symbol for the entire right wing last week, when the Rove-Plame-Wilson leak scandal was the top story and not going away. Coulter is flailing here, simply incapable of admitting that her guys might have commited treason--incidentally, the title of one of her inaccuracy-riddled, liberal-bashing, best-selling books. She has nothing, so she goes straight for the name-calling (Wilson is referred to throughout the column as "Clown Wilson"-- how clever and mature, not obnoxious at all), and, of course, the regurgitation of lies which have already been clearly disproved.
