I turned on the tube this morning for news and flipped onto MSNBC, where there was (shock of all shocks) Ann Coulter screaming over a phone at Joe Scarborough.
I was so appalled at Joe's justification for having the angry Coulter (when is the woman NOT angry?) spewing on his show that I wrote to him at MSNBC.
Joe basically said that it was okay to have Ann Coulter on to justify what she'd done because Bob Shrum had been hateful and Bill Maher had been hateful and that he wanted to shed the "disinfecting light of day" on all of it and provide "context" for it.
Then he broke to commercial.
So I turned off the t.v. and here's what I wrote him. His email address, by the way, is joe@msnbc.com.
Of course he's free to have Ann on, and I'm just as free to not watch his morning or evening shows.
