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.
I think those are good observations. I agree - I don’t think Ann Coulter is mean. The left would call me “mean” because I would stand there in my long dress and hat with a baby in my arms and say, “I don’t mean to be rude, but do you know that all homosexual activity is immoral?”
OOOOH, that hate!
