i have to say that i find the idea of coulter as a satirist of the right to be vaguely funny--although it seems also like a generalization of the reaction that i have when i read anything she puts out, which comes down to "you must be joking..."
the only problem with this really is that i am not convinced that she is joking and have never seen or read her presented as a comedian--obviously i have seen and read her being described as a joke--but this in no way implies that this involves any intent either on her part or on that of the outlets that publish her.
so i dont understand how it got effectively decided that she was, in fact, a comedian at all.
so none of the comparisons between her and others who present themselves as comedians make any sense...
but maybe it doesnt matter.
no, it definitely doesnt matter.
