Anne is the agent provocateur of the conservative movement. She is constantly baiting the libs into saying outrageous things, pointing out their blatant hypocrisy and poking holes in their self-righteous pomposity. She keeps them unbalanced and off-topic, and never gives them a free pass when they make unsubstantiated claims, outright falsehoods or slander conservatives. Some may disagree with her approach, but she is both effective and necessary to provide cover for mainstream conservatives to have a forum to discuss the issues without having to get down in the trenches and muck it out with the Dems. Anne does the dirty work that too many Republican politicians are either unwilling or incapable of doing.
Very well put.
I can only add that chocolate pudding is dramatic irony.
