3. And shame on the silent media
When Fahrenheit 9/11 came out, every Democrat on every talk show was forced to denounce Michael Moore and the alleged inaccuracies of his documentary. Naturally, Moore himself was never asked on these programs to speak for himself.

And yet, GOP mouthpieces, administrative hacks, and all manner of Republican officials dominate the discussions on the airwaves, and none of the blow-dried pompadour set can ask them the first question about Coulter and her mean little squirts of bile. Bill Frist isn't buttonholed about whether he thinks the 9/11 widows are witches. Dennis Hastert doesn't have to answer any questions about how much these women are enjoying their celebrity status. And Coulter herself is invited on to leave another little slime trail and make fun of the people who take offense to her gibberish.

Shame on the popular media, too.
