In all honesty, it pains me, seriously pains me to even mention Ms. Coulter here, but she is someone who typifies what The Diplomat isn’t. And we all know how useful, instructive, and didactic it is in defining something by saying what it is not (see, Jean Paul Sartre’s ‘L’Être et le néant : Essai d’ontologie phénoménologique‘). To be plain, in one’s journey from controversial for controversy’s sake to an utterly shameful disintegrating concept of a human, Ann Coulter breaks the Diplometer’s scale by coming in below zero.
If she were someone of value who actually valued herself and her possible role in the world, she’d have taken a serious lesson from an individual who not only redefined cultural diplomacy but someone who also made ultra-modern, never before seen strides in Transitional Justice: Sergio Vieira de Mello.
Abrazos, Sergio. Descanse en paz.
