Meet Fox News’ newest terrorism expert: Ann Coulter. She appeared on the Hannity show tonight to answer the question, as FoxNews.com put it: Suspected bomber’s widow: Did she know? Not that Coulter offered any clues as to the answer but she employed the same brand of wit and insight that led her to joke about killing Meghan McCain not long ago instead. Coulter “quipped” that the widow, Katherine Russell (an American), should have been arrested for wearing a hijab. For her next knee slapper, Coulter “wondered” whether Russell had had a clitorectomy.  She must have been fresh out of murder humor.

Our newly minted terrorism expert agreed with Sean Hannity that the living bomb suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, brother of Russell’s now-dead husband, should be tried as an “enemy combatant.” Coulter and Hannity concluded – without any evidence – that the result of a prosecution in the civilian justice system will be a lack of information. 

Just pay no attention to the fact that Tsarnaev has already been answering questions.

Referring to the hiding place where the younger Tsarnaev was finally found and taken into custody, Coulter asked, “Why not just shoot up the boat? If we’re not going to talk to him and get any information about the cell, about any foreign influence… They should have just kept shooting. It’s hard to tell with Coulter – whose very voting record is laughable – but she seemed sincere about this particular murder fantasy.

“Investigator” Coulter had a few more insights:

I want to know about this, this wife, as well. …She ought to be in prison for wearing a hijab. This immigration policy of, you know, us assimilating immigrants into our culture isn’t really working. No, they’re assimilating us into their culture. Did she get a clitorectomy, too?

Hannity, who helped rehab Coulter over the Meghan McCain wisecrack, had no problem with this poisonous punchline. He said, without any apparent disapproval, “Well, I don’t know the answer to that. But your point is well taken in this sense… “

Armchair General Hannity then put on his own armchair terrorism-expert hat:

You can’t convince me that these guys made these bombs on their own, financed it on their own and that they didn’t have help. So that means there are other people out there and that we’re not getting the information that we need from the one that actually survived. …I’d waterboard him, myself.

Coulter cackled.

But it’s funny Hannity should mention waterboarding. Because tonight is the fourth anniversary of his still-unfulfilled promise to undergo the procedure that Hannity calls  “dunking” – with proceeds to benefit charity – to prove that it’s not torture.
