Maureen Dowd, whose base is the New York Times, is the perfect Coulter analogue -- witty, biting, and hyperbolic. The difference is that she (and all the others) is a raving leftist, hence adoptable by a leftwing press.

Politics aside, Maureen Dowd has a lot less going for her than Ann Coulter. She's far more 'biting and hyperbolic' than she is witty. Much like the crazy aunt in the attic.

That line reminds me of one used by Henry Ross Perot of Dallas, TX. It's hard to imagine that 12 years ago some of the American people actually thought that the future of the planet rested on his slim shoulders. But the voters ultimately decided that Bill Clinton was the man for them; no, they didn't want little Ross getting under their hoods to fix the mechanical problems. They'd settle for the popular Clinton to . . . oh, well, for lack of a better metaphor.
