"Er, Bush and Cheney were elected to represent the American people. All of them. Coulter is a pundit. It's not really too complicated to most of us."
So it would indeed concern you if President Bush or VP Cheney had uttered the same words Ann did. Thank you for your candor.

Most rational people recognize that the roles and vocabulary for columnists and polemicists in general are different.
Do you think all columnists should speak in the measured tones of a public servant who has been elected by the entire nation to represent them?
Did you really think this line of argument was some kind of powerful rhetorical point?
Maybe Coulter's work is simply over your head.
My point has been singular: Does her rhetoric help? I do not think it does. You do. Even as you recognize that you wouldn't want our elected representatives saying such things. For you to acknowledge that point alone makes my point.
It is lowbrow and it is not appreciated by the masses, who by the way, are voters. So do the math again on how turning off voters helps win elections?
