Actually, my view on who should be given the vote is much more complicated than that. I think that the only ones who should be able to vote are the people who have to pay if the bill is passed.
Everyone should be able to vote electing representatives.
Only those who own property should be able to vote in local bond elections that result in a property tax increase.
and Only men should be able to vote in matters concerning war, because only men can get drafted and fight in the military.
I consider Ann's quote as a shorthand for this because ALL of the guys I know read the newspaper/know about current events, when only about half of the girls I know do.
Do you really want the fate of the world being decided by someone who won't drop 25 cents for a newspaper?
That said, all news is entertainment nowadays, and Ann is simply an entertainer. Don't give her anymore thought than that. Time would be better spent debating the issues rather than Ann, because the only person who will totally defend and agree with Ann Coulter is Ann Coulter.
