I see Ann Coulter as a political form of the "evil wrassler" who comes to town, trashes the local sports team, calls people fat and threatens to sleep with all of the women. She gets a responce, and then argues to the responce, quickly moving away from what she said to how people react to what she said.
It's a standard tactic in entertainment, and the people who "agree" with her don't agree with what she says as much as they like pissing off the people she pisses off. She failed at being a lawyer, failed at being a TV reporter and now has found a good job as the right wing heel on political combat TV.
And if the Liberals were in power and had the ad rates, she'd be a Liberal as well.
I think the worst thing in her mind is not being the center or attention, and if she wasn't able to get on TV and Radio, she'd be doing whatever else is the equivelent of "look at me! Look at me!"
As for her being a good debater, she won't do debates where they can be recorded, since the few she did, she was destroyed by people who had a firm command of facts and didn't engage her emotionally, because once she gets people yelling, she's won.
She'll be gone in a couple of years. If nothing else, her hard drinking will make her unattractive to look at on TV...OK, MORE unattractive than she is now, and she won't be able to get play off of the "I'm the thin blonde party girl" image she's crafted for herself. |
