Ann Coulter Turns Her Back On WI Republicans For Losing Media War In Union Debate

(By Frances Martel, Mediaite) - It’s rare to find a segment where Sean Hannity is having a hard time getting a word in, but Ann Coulter made it tough for him tonight as she railed against, of all people, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker for, among other things, failing to be on television “every night” and getting prank-called by a fake David Koch. While her general line of attack was “Chris Christie would have done it differently,” Coulter cited polls showing Walker’s popularity dropping significantly since the union wars.

“If he were Chris Christie, he would be on TV every night,” Coulter argued about Gov. Walker, “the lieutenant governor would be here every night– I don’t even know who the lieutenant governor is.” Hannity tried to correct her by pointing out that the lieutenant governor had been a guest several times on 'Hannity', but he “wasn’t here last night,” so that wasn’t good enough for her. “MSNBC last night for five hours,” she began, clearly about to say they covered the union protests, but was cut off by a deadpan “yeah but who cares?” from Hannity, who tried to veer the conversation to friendlier waters, like the NPR scandal.
