Howard Kurtz made up a quote about a Vietnam vet, which he knows he made up, which has now run twice in the Washington Post, once in Talk magazine, once in People magazine, once in the Washingtonian. It's something I allegedly said on TV. Why doesn't somebody produce a tape of that?
Kurtz declared that the original source of the paraphrase he used was Coulter herself in her account of the episode to him:
The account of Ann Coulter's remarks to the veteran on MSNBC was provided to me by Coulter herself, who told me she liked the piece and never complained about the passage until she was trying to sell books.
• As quoted in "Ann Slanders" by Steve Rendall in Extra! (November/December 2002).
