Ann Coulter is a private citizen. Why should she need a public official to defend her when she expresses an opinion some find unacceptable?
Saw Ann on the Today show the other day. Matt Lauer tried to get to her but she was having none of it. At one point, the crowd booed her, I forget about what. From the start, it looked like both Ann and Matt had had spat before the cameras were turned on, they just looked miserable. At the end of the segment, she looked around and asked where Katie was. Couldn't help but think that was about their celebrated cat fight a year or two ago. Ann won that one, too.
