Just to make it clear, Ann Coulter is nobody worth paying attention to, in my opinion. I've said this before. In fact, I don't understand why people continue to pay attention to her. The only motivation I can maybe understand is leftists who want to use her to tar other folks who have reached similar conclusions by different means with guilt by association. Only the universe knows why anyone not left of center pays attention to her. Why is she even invited to things like CPAC? If she wants to show up and pay whatever the admission fee, fine. But don't let her on stage anywhere.



Maybe someday she'll say something worth paying attention to. I'm not holding my breath, and if it ever does happen, she will have severely undermined its credibility by her continuing antics. She'd have to get someone more reasonable and credible, like the Flat Earth Society or Institute for Creation Research, to sponsor her results.



(note to the clue challenged: I consider both of the above organizations to be severely credibility impaired, to say the least)
