That's Entertainment

A reader responds to the latest Coulter post:

While I do not disagree with Mr. Du Monde’s assessment of the response to certain of Ann Coulter’s remarks, I do find error in the apparent assertion that she is somehow an individual expressing sincere political, social or moral values. Let us not be too child-like on our worldview. Ann Coulter is first and foremost an entertainer. Her daily bread is earned in a trade of shock and titillation. Members of this profession do not concern themselves with the difference between wrong or right. Their focus is upon spanning the distance between wrong and fun. Ms. Coulter is a champion of American society in the same way that Randy the Macho Man Savage is a champion of sport.
