Ann Coulter is not a woman for all seasons. Acerbic doesn't work for me on this issue. -NutCrackerBoy, #11

Elucidate?

I would, but lucid is not my style. (/self-deprecating humor)

A man (or woman) for all seasons is ever able to strike the appropriate tone: sunny, sorrowful, angry, conciliatory, ... Ann has only one tone: acerbic. That's OK: acerbic works for me almost always; I love acerbic. I've read and enjoyed everything she's written for the past several years. Last week was terrific: Ann Coulter made the New York Times her bitch.

This week, even though the subject is similar, acerbic falls flat. For one thing, I feel a deep sympathy for the ones whose oxen are being gored. If Ann Coulter were just a little more "woman for all seasons", she could have accomplished something wise, rather than flattening all in her path with controversialism.

Clear enough.

Dude, I laughed out loud at 3 separate paragraphs. What more could a man ask for?
