(3,502 posts)4. She wouldn't be shamed by this
The woman has no shame. Not even a little. Those who give her an outlet on television and publish her books should be shamed by this, however. To some extent that even includes Bill Maher. (Although he certainlly did put a chunk of his money where his mouth is...so...) She might make a great foil, but her public persona has contributed to the general degradation of discourse. IMHO. Hope this letter goes viral, though. It might change some hearts. Coulter just doesn't happen to have one.
