Ann Coulter can do math!

Human Events just put together a list of the top ten stupidest questions asked at college campus lectures. I particularly liked number 3:

"How could people contribute $20 when the average was $50?" -- Anonymous student at a lecture given by HUMAN EVENTS Legal Affairs Correspondent Ann Coulter on November 21, 2002 at Roger Williams University.

Coulter's answer: "Well, some gave $100, some gave $10, some gave $20, what you do is add them up and divide by the number of contributors, that is how you get an average."

I guess if students don't learn math in the classroom, at least they can learn it at a Coulter lecture!

We could put together a list of similar questions just at Western. Here are a few of the ones that I remember.

I'll never forget the German lady's five minute long speech at Ward Connerly's lecture. I don't remember any of what she said, just that it went on and on. She asked a similarly long question at Dinesh D'Souza, to which he replied "I'm like the mosquito at the nudist camp; I don't know where to start."

Ann Coulter's speech brought out stupid questions in record numbers:

"Why don't you encourage College Republicans to join the military?"

"How can you attack liberals when John Locke was a liberal?"

"Do you have stairs in your house?"

What other questions deserve to go on our list?

Allan, you forgot to mention the one that started off with "Well, there was the cold war, which we obviously lost..."
Classic liberal stupidity!
