Well, if you read Ann's work much, she attacks not only the ideas, but also the individuals, very harshly.
If you are telling me the comments were not necessary, I'd agree. Nothing Ann or 95% of other pundits say is necessary. She is trying to sell books. And being outrageous is her schtick and has been since day one. Her reply to Hillary today was classic. And downright mean.

We agree. It sells books and it is her schtick. When it comes down to it, she does the "mean skinny girl from high school" thing very, very well. Just like Michael Moore does the "big jerk fat slob from high school" thing very well.
I read one book. It was fine. Classic Ann. I don't remember which one it was at this point, because it was a long time ago. I think it was the one with her picture on the front. LOL. What it comes down to is that she's not my style. However, I can understand why some like her. This kind of stuff has a certain cathartic appeal. Just like Savage. I'm ok with that, but I just don't enjoy it myself.
Rush is about as harsh as I enjoy, and I'm really more of a Prager/Medved girl. Just not a lot of anger in me, I guess.
