Does This Make Any Sense?

Despite all of this, will it matter what she has to say about Libby, knowledgeable or not? No, because she said “faggot” at CPAC, and shot herself in the foot. ~Mary Katharine Ham

I have no love for Ann Coulter or pro-Libby apologetics, but obviously it is the reasonableness or lack thereof of Coulter’s argument about the Libby case that ought to matter.  To take seriously the weird idea that anyone should hereafter ignore everything she says because of one example of name-calling is to give the episode far too much importance.  Instead, do what I do: ignore what Coulter says because she has a stunning habit of being wrong, as I assume she probably is on the Libby case as well.
