The face of America abroad....

Ann Coulter was interviewed on Dublin’s Talk Radio 106 “Wide Angle” show this morning by one of my favorite journalists, Karen Coleman (not related to RTE's Carole Coleman who held Bush’s feet to the fire in a legendary 2004 TV interview).

Unfortunately, this morning’s interview was recorded which meant that callers, like me, couldn't suggest questions. But Karen didn't do too badly. She challenged Coulter more than gutless American journalists. And Coulter, as batshit insane as ever, came off sounding—especially to a more informed Irish audience--as culturally chauvinistic, historically uninformed, religiously fanatical, uncharitable, foolhardy and rude. In other words, par for the course.

I did manage to get a comment read on air, as coming from an "American caller" which basically said that Coulter isn't widely supported in America but instead is regarded as an extremist and apologist for the American fundamentalist right-wing fascist fringe.

Not exactly what I said, but close enough!
