Ignorant Slut, a Bowtie with a Polyester flop-top, and a Country to Badmouth:
Carlson, Coulter, and Canada, by Bennet G. Kelley - Democratic Underground: "December 10, 2004
By Bennet G. Kelley
The fact that some Canadians had the audacity to protest during President Bush's visit to their country last week made it open season for right-wing pundits to bash the other French-speaking country they love to hate, with Tucker Carlson deriding the 'limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society,' and Ann Coulter saying that Canada is 'lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent.'
Being married to a Canadian and having represented Canadian companies, I find these jingoistic attacks to be a perfect illustration of President Kennedy's lament that 'too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.'"
