Along the way she confounds the ones who need to be confounded. More power to her.

Coulter is a player. She’s clever, but she’s still just a player. It’s not hard to imagine her selling primo Florida real estate or a bridge in Brooklyn.

Hey, Coulter is a good writer. She is astute. But every move she makes is calculated to advance herself & not in a way likely to advance the lives of the people who buy her books. Quite the contrary.

Coulter’s a combination of Michael Eisner and Leni Reifenstahl. Maybe she’s an agent of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Maybe she’s an agent of Darwin. Thing is, the people who buy her line, buy her bridge, buy her swampy real estate, they ain’t the ones who end up living with it.

Reap the whirlwind, Annie. Reap the whirlwind.

Most readers/voters aren’t degreed intellectuals. The clever stiletto is lost on many but the sledge hammer gets the point across to all. Why are we always so worried about hurting the feelings of the left? They sure don’t worry about hurting ours. Coulter’s crude approach might turn off the average PHD but there aren’t too many PHDs out there and most of them are leftists anyway. If the hair-splitting academics would stop fretting about Coulters style and spend their time getting after the enemy they might become as effective as she is.

Are you sure you read the essay?] are mostly, “smart as a whip but dumb as a post”. I feel the contempt, but don’t get the point. It’s irritating when the boring try to convince me of their sly subtlety.
