This is the column posted Jan 14, in case it changes and you need to find it on the archives.
Ive been birdwatching Ann Coulter for a while. I think she's brilliant
and funny and a great writer, and when she isnt impugning someone's patriotism or loyalty or mental health or masculinity or sexuality, she's persuasive.
Basically I think she's wasting her talent. But I doubt she cares because she makes a lot of money and has a lot of fun pissing a lot of people off.
But here is a column that is filled with--YIKES!--facts, statistics, analysis, nuanced thinking. Of course there is the requisite "librul" bashing and the gratuitious comment about Dennis. But this is an actual PERSUASIVE argument.
I blame Obama. I think an impending era that celebrates level-headed competence, thoughtfulness, moderatation, consideration, empiricism, and pragmatism, is going to make the era of partisan mud-wrestling--the entire Michael Moore-Rush Limbaugh-Al Franken-Michael Savage-vintage Coulter food fight---like as stupid as its always been.
Ann's too smart not to see that the winds are changing. So she's changing tack.
