The "sad" thing to me about Ann Coulter is this - she actually IS quite an intelligent woman. She is quite capable of sophisticated argumentation. But the problem is that it's pretty obvious she's traded in her brain for the Howard Stern-Rush Limbaugh "shock jock" approach.
Because it pays better, let's face it.
She's sort of like a conservative Bill Maher whereas S.E. Cupp is more of a conservative Christopher Hitchens. (I disagree with Hitchens about MANY things, but I sure did enjoy listening to him).
Guess which one is better known? Glenn Beck is the same way. Lots of intelligent folks find their skills are more economically marketable if they lie and get in the news for dumb stuff.
And Coulter's head bob thing always looks to me like she's positioning herself to imitate what Monica Lewinsky did (I hope that's clean enough).
