I am beginning to suspect that Ann may still be boozing it up here in the 2000s.

You are certainly entitled to agree with her belief that Bush owes the intellegentsia who toiled away twenty to thirty years before he got here, a big fat reward (which Coulter is not embarrassed to admit should be someone from an elite university).

I doubt many agree with the notion that only graduates from elite universities are skilled enough to deal with the devil. Normal people have plenty of experience, believe it or not.

If Miers is rejected, maybe she'll come tidy up for Ms. Coulter, starting at her mouth with a bar of soap.

You say.

Totally true.
Ann should realize Hannity, Limbaugh and Drudge never graduated college.
Do you see her putting them down? NO

"Normal people have plenty of experience, believe it or not."

I like to think of myself as a normal person, and I've seen lots of other normal people "lose" arguments to verbally facile liberals simply because they weren't practiced enough to present their side of the argument strongly, or to spot ambushes in the making.

Constitutional law is a particular sort of intellectual pursuit, and to holding your own against liberals requires experience in that particular area.

In college I had a friend who was a grand master in chess. I never beat him.

After we had been playing for a couple of months, the first ten or fifteen moves of any game only took a few seconds, because we knew what any move meant up to that point, and it was always I who came up against a move that made me stop to think.

The intellectual competition in debates is similar, in that a person needs to know -- having seen them a thousand times before -- all the more rudimentary traps and ambushes, and know them well enough just to brush them aside. That only comes with experience.
