RE: RE: FLASH: COULTER, CARLIN ON LENO

But she’s just so darn conceited, so sour, so… unlikable.

Sort of like Al Franken, Al Gore, or Ted Rall?

I can assure you that it is completely due to personal bias on your part, Strother. I know quite a few people who have met her and spent time talking to her, one-on-one, and they report that what you see is what you get and she is most personable and likable. I also know of a couple of people who have been personal acquaintances of hers for quite a while and they report she is pretty much the same person "off" or "on."

Admit it, Strother, it is her positions that really irritate you. She verbally beats the living hell out of liberals, and among the circle of people you call friends, I would venture a guess that 9 out of 10 of them are liberals. I daresay that if she used the very same bombastic techniques on right-wingers, you might be a little sour on her, but you wouldn't have nearly the abiding, visceral dislike for her.

I'm saying all this from a position of personal experience. I feel exactly the same way about Susan Estrich, Al Franken, and Penn & Teller that you do about her.
