Reflections of a stormy petrel

Generally speaking, I’m three points to the right of Attila the Hun, and I find it a standing embarrassment to have Ann Coulter on my side. As a glamour girl she’s a halfway clever political hack, and as a conservative philosopher she’s a moderately attractive blonde. She strikes me as essentially a novelty act — a non-ugly pundit, who’da thunk it? — that bought into her own hype. Somewhere along the way she must have stopped respecting her opposition (and her audience) and started cutting corners on logic and being economical with the truth. I say ‘must have’, because I had not heard of her until the corruption was evidently well under way.
