Correct. While very entertaining she really does not advance conservatism a bit. She preaches to the choir. I don't begrudge her that for a moment. She has identified her market and sells successfully to it.

OTOH, I think there are some non 'elected officials', 'pundits', who are able to persuade some people by the logic and style of their arguments. They are more helpful to the conservative cause, IMO.
