Ann Coulter gets schooled by Canada
» More Media
Normally we wouldn’t allow such a large picture of Ann Coulter to appear on this website, but we wanted to afford our readers every pixel of Coulter crow. The conservative talking head was being interviewed by Bob McKeown on Fifth Estate on Canada’s CBC in that low droaning voice we’re huge fans of when she got her facts terribly, terribly wrong about the Vietnam war.
Coulter: “Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam – was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?”
McKeown interrupts: “Canada didn’t send troops to Vietnam.”
Coulter: “I don’t think that’s right.”
McKeown: “Canada did not send troops to Vietnam.”
Coulter (looking desperate): “Indochina?”
McKeown: “Uh no. Canada …second World War of course. Korea. Yes. Vietnam No.”
Coulter: “I think you’re wrong.”
McKeown: “No, took a pass on Vietnam.”
Coulter: “I think you’re wrong.”
McKeown: “No, Australia was there, not Canada.”
Coulter: “I think Canada sent troops.”
McKeown: “No.”
Coulter: “Well. I’ll get back to you on that.”
McKeown tags out in script: “Coulter never got back to us — but for the record, like Iraq, Canada sent no troops to Vietnam.”
