You call that a sense of humor?
Daily Kos points out that Ann Coulter is not only not funny, she’s also not accurate – even on the most basic level of her writing.
Coulter sweepingly asserts that trial attorneys are heartless and greedy “charlatans” who prey on doctors and that Democratic presidential candidate and noted trial attorney John Edwards in particular is a “parasite” because he has championed patients’ rights and has sued to hold doctors accountable for malpractice. Coulter contrasts her claims with the fact that doctors show they care about improving society by working for organizations such as Doctors Without Borders.
Coulter asks, “Has anyone else noticed the nonexistence of a charitable organization known as ‘Lawyers Without Borders’?”
So Coulter asserts. However, in fact, there IS a U.S.-based charitable organization called exactly that. Yet Coulter did not bother to check her facts.
Heck, I’m not a lawyer, doctor, or doctor of journalism, and even I knew there was really a Lawyers Without Borders. You don’t even need to Google it. Just type in “LawyersWithoutBorders” and add in ”.org.” What? Was that too obvious?
See, the problem here is that we’re all living in a Reality-Based Community. Ann “The Last Pure Human” Coulter, however, lives in a Shrieking-Harpy-Based Community. In this context, she is free to make any assertion that she wants to without having to bother to stop and check her facts. She thinks this makes her witty. And this would be why Fox News failed at creating competition for “The Daily Show.”
