>>Ann is a satirist. She uses extreme statements to wonderful effect. Its meant to be funny and the punch line - the joke is lost on liberals who take everything seriously. They miss the secret of Ann's popularity... she has fun with them. <<
True, and the likes of Al Franken and Jon Stewart get a free pass when using the same style and making very caustic satire !
Yes! It is curious to see Ann's expert use of linguistic decor, her razor-sharp metaphors and high-style hyperbole pass right over the head of this lofty Brit columnist. But there are moments you can tell that he (or she? Gaby?) just doesn't get it.
