You're A Mean One, Ann Coulter. You, Too, Jay Weber

      Seriously, what's with these right-wing media personalities who made fun of Tim Walz's son Gus for bursting into tears and calling out "That's my dad!" at the Democratic National Convention?

      Sure, ultra-conservative pundit Ann Coulter's stock in trade is sharp, cutting mockery of those whose politics and religion differ from hers. But to put up a post  on X calling a 17-year-old learning disabled boy "weird?"

      What adult does that? Who in the world is that mean?
       Ann Coulter, obviously.
       Not that it should come as a complete surprise that Ann Coulter could be that mean. After all, she's apparently one of those self-righteously devout Christians who, with her faith as her sword and shield, believes of herself that everything she says and does is right and good because God is always on her side...because she's a Christian. She even compared herself to Jesus Christ.  

       So, I guess if you consider yourself the modern day equivalent of Jesus Christ you feel entitled to be as mean - or as anything else - as you want to be.
       As it turns out, Ann Coulter has been vociferously called out for her meanness to young Gus Walz, for which she unapologetically excused herself (and blamed the Democrats) by saying that she didn't know the boy was "autistic." Gus Walz is not autistic. He has a non-verbal learning disorder, and suffers from anxiety and ADHD, as Coulter must have known, since this fact was shared by the DNC commentators at the moment that Gus was captured gesturing to his dad.
      Still, would it have been more acceptable for Coulter to publicly mock a youngster who hadn't been diagnosed?
         No.  It would've just been mean.
         And then there's conservative Milwaukee radio talk show host Jay Weber,

...whose X post about Gus Walz was even meaner than Ann Coulter's:

      Not surprisingly, Jay Weber's despicably cruel post stirred up great public outrage. Subsequently he, like, Coulter, offered a non-apology (which included calling Gus Walz's father, Governor Tim Walz, a congenital liar)  and excused himself for not knowing that Gus was disabled when he made the post about the boy. 
       Unluckily for Jay Weber, he is not possessed of Ann Coulter's fame, status and commercial success, and his non-apology apparently didn't fly with the powers that control his radio career.  His non-apology was taken down from X and replaced with this one:
       "This is a fuller apology for something stupid and hurtful I said yesterday. I said it without thinking or having the facts. No excuses. Having been a teacher, I've had a standard of never involving children, I broke that, and I'm disappointed with myself. I apologize to the Walz family and anyone who was offended. I feel horrible, I am so sorry."
        However, as it turned out, Weber's second apology apparently didn't fly with his employers, either, and he's been pulled off the air. 
        Which begs the question, Mean Mr. Weber: Who's the blubbering b**ch boy now? And do you suppose your mother and father are very proud of you?
