“And the word ‘the’ is spelled wrong in the prompter.”

All right. As anyone who knows me would testify, I am not a fan of Ann Coulter. (I respect her opinions, sure, but I totally loathe her.) Nor am I a fan of Laura Ingraham.

However, the video clip I’ve seen on all sorts of sites about the Interweb today? And the ensuing comments?

Whatever.

That clip is about working on television and dealing with an inept staff who cannot support your ass when you are the one on live television (fact checkers, producers, make-up, production whores who tell you if it’s 15 or 30 seconds to air?, listening to real people versus voices in the pud in your ear?, etc.).

Yeah, she’s a bitchy conservative.

But even I would have been a bitchy liberal under those conditions. She was just doing her job.

(Also please note the heavily edited cuts? I think that’s saying something. And also please note my favorite quote, “We’re going to tell you about that! When we come back! [pause] [smile quickly fades after prompt] If one more person opens that door?! I am going to nail that door shut during the show!”)

I would have said the same thing. Sorry, folks.
