Whether we lean left or right, the posts in this thread seem to demonstrate that we all know and understand what's happening with Ann Coulter. Indeed, she is a pretty, smart (top student and member of the Law Review while at the University of Michigan Law School), and obviously a terrific businesswoman.

Let's not forget how Ann Coulter, or any columnist, makes their money--whether they be ultra-liberal, ultra-conservative or maybe focused only on a narrow subject or issue. They don't have to be "right" or intelligent or reasonable. All they need to do is write things that cause people to read their columns. People can read because they believe what is written or because they are aggravated or maybe just entertained. It makes no difference. If readership is high, more papers syndicate her column, she gets more TV interview invitations, and she makes lots and lots more money.

Ann Coulter does a great job of making money for herself. If anyone thinks that her purpose in writing what she does is anything more purposeful than that, maybe you should think more deeply about it.
