Ann Coulter is a great cultural analyst. I don’t understand why she flips out when it’s election time, but so do lots of other people who make sense the rest of the time.
IMO, Coulter is very very smart but not always wise. Savage is a showman. He is clever. To the extent that clever takes brains, he is smart. He is a little too bizarre and arrogant for me to draw too many conclusions. I’m never 100% sure how to take him. So I take him as entertainment. My liberal aunt hates his guts and it is somewhat fun to watch her turn inside out.
One more comparison: Savage has a mean side. Coulter doesn’t. The left would call her mean, but I wouldn’t. She has a cutting wit, but it isn’t mean in a vengeful way like Savage. Savage has a nice side once in awhile but he can be ruthless (with words, probably not actions). I would not want to admit that to my aunt because the left has those sorts of characters and then some and she just loves them.
