Newsbusters' Tim Graham doesn't understand why Ann Coulter is a bad role model

Newsbuster Tim Graham has no idea why someone might refer to Ann Coulter as a poor role model:

Fox's musical/drama show Glee aired a Madonna-themed episode about female empowerment Tuesday night -- complete with an Ann Coulter joke.

The female guidance counselor was fretting about the poor role models for girls today -- she mentioned Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Ann Coulter. There was no verbal explanation for Ann's inclusion -- just a wide-eyed pause.

Really? Tim Graham really doesn't understand why Ann Coulter might not make the dial role model? Maybe because she's a nasty, hateful person who runs around calling people “fag” and “queers” and says the military should kill journalists and encourages people to beat liberals with baseball bats and talks about assassinating the president and says she wished Tim McVeigh blew up the New York Times building and says women are “not as bright” as men.

Gee, why would anyone suggest Ann Coulter -- who says women are not as smart as men -- might not be a good role model for women?

Graham also dismissed the “usual feminist complaint” that women make less than men:

The show also contained the usual feminist complaint about unequal pay for equal work. Quinn, the pregnant teen on the show, proclaimed “The fact is that women still earn 70 cents for every dollar for doing the same job. It starts in high school.”

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that someone who thinks Ann Coulter is a good role model would dismiss the wage gap.
