A $20,000 Challenge
“After watching the stupidity and arrogance of Ann Coulter on the O’Reilly Factor (thanks to Crooks and Liars) it seems to me we ought to challenge Ann to put her body where her mouth is,” Johnson writes. Johnson refers to video of Coulter’s appearance last night on Bill O’Reilly’s FOX show.
“I’ll pay for her to travel business class to Baghdad and stay there a week,” Johnson challenges, “but on these conditions:
- She must take a public taxi from the airport;
- She cannot hire a bodyguard or security detail; and
- Most important of all, she must stay at a hotel outside of the Green Zone and eat at a different restaurant every night using public transportaton (i.e., a taxi).”
If Coulter is correct, says Johnson, “that things are going well and are safer today than one year ago, I say go show us. Maybe FOX News will assign one of their intrepid cheerleaders, oops, I mean correspondents, to accompany Ann and show the world that a new day has dawned in Iraq.”
(As I noted, in his Aug. 4 promo, O’Reilly said he and Coulter would “shoot it out.” Which left us giddy with anticipation.)
