Amuse Me

It is really a gift that YouTube exists. Nowhere outside of the internet has there been such an open forum for holding political pundits accountable for what they have said. Whether it be Joe Biden calling Barack Obama the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy", former Senator George Allen calling S.R. Sidarth, an Indian man, "macaca", etc, everyone's verbal gaffes get their time in the sun. Open forums like YouTube and Google Video have largely done what the mass media has been afraid to do the last decade, hold people accountable for lies and hypocrisy and internally regulating their own misdoings.

It is always amusing to watch conservative firebrands like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter taken to task for journalistic irresponsibility and fallacious logical arguments. I have a hard time believing that Republicans take Malkin and Coulter seriously, there is just no way. I have an even harder time believing that these two women are products of American higher education; Malkin graduating from Oberlin College and Coulter from Cornell University and later University of Michigan Law School. How can it be that such prestigious universities produced two such individuals that have little regard for fact checking. It is especially surprising in Coulter's case given that she graduated Cornell cum laude and was the editor of the Michigan Law Review. Two very bright women. You have to wonder if they sacrificed their own credibility for the sake of being outspoken and prominently featured on FOX News.

Watch as Malkin and Coulter both get caught up and trapped by their own non-nonsensical speech.
