I think the proper question is: actor or pundit?

I caught some of the Coulter stuff on CTV News at the gym last night. The title on the screen read "Political Pundit" and I nearly fell off the treadmill.

Anne Coulter a pundit? They're kidding, right? I'll accept "commentator," but that's being nice.

And the difference between "actor" and "politician": they both play on our emotions, except politicians make public policy.
