Ann Coulter Accused Of Plagiarism

I read about this earlier this morning, and I thought someone was playing a prank on me. I hate this woman's whacked out views on liberals, Muslims, and anything else that rubs the GOP the wrong way. It turns out her views aren't even hers!

It's too bad she appears on Fox News as a frequent guest, because Roger Ailes won't do a damn thing about it. He'll probably pat her on the ass and say "Great job!", just like he did to John Gibson, Brit Hume, and Brian Kilmeade two weeks ago.
