Rush would need to be able to hear first of all. Rush is also a radio personality who preps his show with insight and analysis.

My bet would be, he is not as good in a debate as one would think he would be.

Ann Coulter a "shallow-head ditz" ???

Not all blonde's are dumb. Probably the dumbest statement i have read on FR in a while.

Did someone mention dumb blondes?

BTW, as to Limbaugh, he articulates an argument well, but gets a train of thought and follows it through. He doesn't shift gears quickly on the fly. He's an original thinker, but when I saw him a few times on panel shows, he was very deferential, and wouldn't challenge people. Alan Keyes is an excellent debater, but is a little flaky. Walter Williams would, I think, debate well, as would Mark Steyn. Steyn might be our best conservative thinker, right now.

Coulter can play the full contact debate game that many liberals like to play, but it's difficult to debate one.

"Mr. Begala, there's documented evidence of Saddam using chemical weapons in the past."
"Well, what about the way Richard Nixon used to act all the time, huh? And you call that justice!"

There's so much topic jumping and random charges that it's difficult to come away with anything more enlightening than the dead parrot skit.

No one said "all blondes are dumb". This is what I said:

"....she just comes across as a "stereotypical 'blonde-joke-type'..."

Just a point of clarification there. We as Conservatives must not take the same mind-set as the libs and Dems i.e. defend our "heros" and "heroines" no matter what, just because we agree with their political philosophy. I agree with Pat Robertson by-and-large but he has been an embarrassement numerous times of late.

I agree. Rush cannot seem to field question extemporaneously on tv interviews, as he does on his radio show.

Rush has a hugh research staff and they also prepare his talking points. I love El Rushbo, and have been listeneing to hime for 13 years. BUT, Rush would not be my #1 choice in a debate with the libs.

Agreed, my wife is a PhD, one daughter is a JD, the other has an MS, but is working on her PhD. Blonds all.

And granddaughter Miss V is blond too... Strawberry Blond, we think.
