Clay and Coulter both push the envelope for a reason. The same reason, in fact: It sells.
Your post is a perfect example of what she was able to accomplish.
What she accomplished was to convince me that she's a mean person with a juvenile sense of humor. Big win, there. I don't doubt that she's a smart woman -- Jerry Springer is a smart man. And somewhere along the way, each reached a calculated decision in terms of what they could sell.
Kinda like when Arnold had to apologize for his girlyman phrase. Did that one offend you too?
It didn't offend me. I thought it was dumb. First of all, because implying that feminine = weak and stupid is a dumbassed move when most of your constituents have two X chromosomes, but more so because it reinforced the belief that he couldn't articulate a political message more complicated than one of his old movie lines (or in the "girly men" case, a TV parody of his old movie lines).
All things being equal, I'd rather vote for a grown-up.
Me Too. Coulter '08!!
