The Ann Colbert show comes to town

Just been watching C-Span's rerun of Ann Coulter's talk to Young Americans for Freedom (a conservative outfit). Why do we think Ann has any intellectual weight at all? She is amusing, with an endless store of zingers, but other than that, the Colbert Report has more substance. She started off trashing Obama, commenting upon his family background with a nasty edge to it. Nothing quite over the line, but managing to call him a black candidate for blacks which is mean spirited at best. Then she started in on McCain, raking up all the votes he made that upset conservatives. She called McCain less electable than Romney which no experienced adult believes. At no time did she say anything of real value or show real insight into political character, US politics, international relations or economics. She is an empty skirt.
