My opinion of Ann Coulter has always been that if she wasn't tall, blonde and a good dresser she wouldn't be nearly as popular. Let's face it, the Right in this country is dominated by white males, and from an aesthetic standpoint, she's going to be appealing to that group. If she was fat with a big hairy facial mole, I sincerely doubt she'd be anywhere close to the phenomenon she is.
Personally, I don't find her particularly witty or insightful. Her writing comes off as shrill, but I'm also the first to admit that there hasn't been a politcal columnist that I've consistently read since Royko died. I grew up reading his stuff, and he was actually one of the reasons (albeit way down the list)that I moved to Chicago all those years ago.
