Coulter gets a lesson in hurling invective

Ann Coulter has a reputation for being a smart mouth with a thorough contempt for civil discourse – and a bewildering disinterest in actual evidence. For example, this is what she says about climateย change:

โ€œThere are more reputable scientists defending astrology than defending โ€˜globalย warmingโ€™.โ€

As if she would knowย โ€ฆ.

But for pure smartness of mouth, you gotta love Allan Rock, the former Liberal cabinet minister who now sits as the President of the University of Ottawa. Rock, in commenting on his concerns that Coulter was going to speak at his university, offered this, just-releasedย assessment:

โ€œAnn Coulter is a mean-spirited, small-minded, foul-mouthed poltroon. She is โ€˜the loud mouth that bespeaks the vacantย mind.โ€™

โ€œShe is an ill-informed and deeply offensive shill for a profoundly shallow and ignorant view of the world. She is a malignancy on the body politic. She is a disgrace to the broadcasting industry and a leading example of the dramatic decline in the quality of public discourse in recentย times.โ€

For the record.
