Oh, Anne is fine - much smarter than Hillary. But folks, we have to be brutally honest. In terms of intellectual firepower, she is two notches below Rush Limbaugh, and four notches below Victor Davis Hanson.

All who post on this thread are expected to spend an hour over the next week reading the works of Victor Davis Hanson. You will soon come to realize that his mind is as deep as the New River Gorge, and as swift as the Gauley River

It is time for you to stop wallowing in the baby pool, and immerse yourselves in the deep waters where brilliant conservative intellectuals dwell.

You're right, but she's cute, so who cares? ;) VDH rules, and makes for engrossing reading. I think many political thinkers miss that quality--readability. It takes a good writer to not dumb the material down while making his work entertaining.

I LOVE Victor Davis Hanson & Ann Coulter. I am capable of enjoying both.

Ann must have turned you down for a date sometime--every thread about her and you keep wanting to compare her to Victor Davis Hanson---WHY?

They don't even do the same thing---?

I have read VDH articles and I like them very much, but I also like Ann's articles also---can't you just enjoy Ann's commentary for what it is, witty, caustic and usually dead on right!!!

Nonsense.

However, in order to fairly appreciate Ms. Coulter, you need to read her books, not just her columns. And certainly, it is not fair to judge her by TV soundbites.

IMHO, her intellect and wit shine when she has the full context to develop a logical argument. The TV soundbite format is simply too restricted to do so, and she is smart enough not to try.

I have now read both "How to Talk to a Liberal", and "Slander". The semantic content of both is far above almost anything else I have read (with the exception of a physics textbook, but that has math). The only conservative that is on a par with her is Dr. Thomas Sowell, who is a true scholar.

Finally, Ann is considerably better educated than most pundits, including Limbaugh, as she has a law degree. The difference in education is apparent.

With all due repect to Victor Davis Hanson and Rush Limbaugh, when it comes to doing battle with the liberal hordes face to face there is no one better than Ann Coulter. She is a fearless warrior.

"two notches below Rush Limbaugh"

Sorry I ain't buyin' that one.

Rush is the best there is on radio, but he is no intellectual like Ann.
