And how many books and radio shows and TV appearances have you had over the past few years ??
She might not be as "UP" on the gay "issues" like you are, but hardly makes her "ignorant of facts" nor "not very bright".
But then, you provide some good infotainment yerself, toots.
=== You are getting to be our very own Maureen Dowd;
Oh, you do crack me up! That's pretty funny, Howlin.
=== you have major issues with women AND men, I see.
I have major issues, only, and I stick to those. That's why liberals think I'm an medieval authoritarian, Pubbies think I'm a commie pinko and I'm a Superior Chick hatin' men one day and a misogynist who slavishly lauds men the next.
I can't really win ... =)
Trust you are enjoying a Merry Christmas octave and have already embarked on a Happy New Year, Howlin. It's been a very good run of the holidays for me ... just hoping I can whip up a costume in time for Twelfth Night tomorrow. One last dance and it's down to brass tacks for me.
Would it be just great that at her next speaking engagement, Ann would reach into her purse or pocket and lay down some handgun and permit on the podium and state "If I am approached in a hostile attack, I will be in fear of my life and I will protect myself!"
Anyone holding themselves out as a "constitional scholar" who ignores the 600-pound Patriot Act, Intel bill, biometric National IDs, etc. etc. in the middle of the living room to riff on liberals (as if ANY of her premises were correct) and heighten the hate rhetoric of this alleged Holy War is either duplicitous or bone-numbing stupid.
There's just no other explanation.
Save for her being bought and sold such that it's all "pics" and "appearances" instead of substance. That much could well be true.

Given the state of the media and the American populace in general, I guess I have a hard time believing that anyone who IS this popular can possibly be a person of any integrity whatsoever.
But that's just me. =)

Congrats.
You just have this rediculous "bone-on" for anything/one who is associated with the Bush's, Kissinger, Nixon, Stem-Cell, Geneva Convention related...or republican related for that matter.
Sorry toots, I'll take her "Premises" over yours anyday.
I'm not a 100%er, but nothing in life is 100% guaranteed, even life itself.
Given the state of the media and the American populace in general, I guess I have a hard time believing that anyone who IS this popular can possibly be a person of any integrity whatsoever.
So anyone who lives in the USA and has any popularity rating, whatsoever, is lacking in integrity, ACCORDING TO YOU.
ROTFLMAO....you ARE SUCH A CARD.
Not necessarily ... but you'll notice that those -- like Keyes or Barr or Klayman or Hackworth -- who make use of their popularity to mention the Truth on occasion tank pretty quickly where "popularity" is concerned.
I simply would have more respect for Coulter if she didn't dumb herself down to the liberals' level and even OCCASIONALLY touched on the truth of the matter ... particularly where the GOP's deconstruction, abuse and re-forming of the Constitution is concerned.
Patriot II is only just this month ripening into law. I suspect the truth's going to dawn on folks sooner rather than later. And, further, I suspect one day those with integrity who realize they were duped like fools will view "symbol over substance" shills like "Ann Coulter, Constitutional Scholar" in a different light.
As do I.
It's not like I don't back up all my arguments. I fail to see how my protest of Human Farming or my zeroing in on those ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE for the most heinous of the federal government's crimes is a problem.
If all I did was sit around regurgitating Mainstream Media "facts" and taking potshots at liberals (based on tired and absolutely untrue premises), you and Howlin would be absolutely right to pin the Dowd label on me.
As it is, that's Coulter's specialty.
I can see where you view me as a wacko infotainer ... the hyperbole does get a bit much at times but the fact remains that I diligently do my homework and the links and facts I offer from sources like the Congressional Record (or Barbara "The Beard" Bush's own biography) speak for themselves.
I figure that's one reason that those who incessantly dog me for my "obsessions" with the right to life or the self-evident truths of the Declaration never touch my sources with a ten-foot pole.
I wouldn't either if I -- like Ann Coulter -- were sucking wind as a rule.
like Keyes or Barr or Klayman or Hackworth -- who make use of their popularity to mention the Truth
Are you SERIOUSLY comparing Ann Coulter to Larry Klayman, Hackworthless, etc?
Now that is just plain bizarre.
That's my little pumpkin...
Well, only in that they were once darlings of the "right" in general (and this site in particular) until the Executive Branch changed hands. By remaining consistent in their attention to issues of gross corruption or excess in the government, they were suddenly pariahs.
It's perfectly understandable.
The great thing about Coulter being that she's not hampered by any consistency of thought so is better able to go with the flow and stick to those subjects where she can score the most points as an entertainer.
I think she herself would admit she's no Phyllis Schlafley ... even if, in a way, her admiration for the Real Deal like Phyliss is precisely what catapulted her into the niche she now occupies.
Folks like Phyllis Schlafley don't end up as popular as Ann Coulter.
Ann made her choice and only Ann truly knows how off the mark she's ended up.
I don't think so. Maher is over paid, not over sexed.
It's all about the "O"...
Good analysis. And the balls to say it out loud.
I think the only one missing from that list is Scott Ritter.
or
I met him a few times.
I have a book he autographed for me.
Its somewhere in a pile of books I have no desire to read.
