http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6915764/We do odd news in this segment. So you ask, what is odd about Ann Coulter humiliating herself on national TV? Well, not much. Except this time it was on Canadian national TV. Appearing on a CBC documentary called “The Fifth Estate,” Coulter was asked by our old friend, the host, Bob McKeown, to explain her harsh criticism of Canada and Canadians‘ lack of support for the war in Iraq.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BOB MCKEOWN, CBC: Explain why you said that.
ANN COULTER, COMMENTATOR: We were on “Hannity & Colmes” and we were discussing the anti war protestors. Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends. And vice-versa. Canada sent troops to Vietnam. Was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat?
MCKEOWN: Actually, Canada did not send troops to Vietnam.
COULTER: I don‘t think that‘s right.
MCKEOWN: Canada did not send troops to Vietnam.
COULTER: Indochina?
MCKEOWN: Canada—Second World War, of course. Korea, yes.
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: I‘ll get back to you on that.
MCKEOWN: OK.
MCKEOWN: Coulter never got back to us. But for the record, like Iraq, Canada sent no troops to Vietnam.
