Ann Coulter: Do You Even Hear Yourself?

I know you probably have heard all of the complaints already, but here it is: Ann Coulter is insane (see: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13186261/)
.
I don't mind one point she makes; that widows aren't infalable. However, what they do bring to the table is a first person point of view, something that pundits or politicians, for the most part, can't bring to the table. They bring a sense of legitimatcy that a regular Joe Schmoe (or Coulter in many cases) don't have.
But then she goes ahead and makes asinine comments like:

“I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much.”

That is in her new book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism.” With a title like that, I will never do the grammatically correct thing of underlining it.

A few weeks ago, I wrote an editorial in my college newspaper on political bias, on how people like Ann Coulter would rather demonize their political rivals rather then actually debate the real issues.
Ironicly, I don't have to demonize Ann Coulter-she does it herself.
