Coulter, easy choice.
Given the various and sundry liberal and off-the-wall males Ann Coulter hangs out with, I’m pretty sure a LOT of her conservative act is just a schtick.
No, I’m not saying she’s a liberal in disguise, merely that she’s a savvy enough businesswoman to understand that a book entitled “Liberals Suck and Must Die!” will probably attract more notice and sell better than “We Need to Balance the Budget and Return to Traditional Values.” Heck, think Al Franken would have sold any copies of a book entitled, “Rush Limbaugh Is Mistaken on a Number of Issues”?
I mean, if Jay Leno has a choice between a trash-talking, hot, leggy blonde in a miniskirt or a soft-spoken, thoughtful, bespefctacled conservative like David Brooks, who’s he gonna book on Tonight"? Like it or not, political punditry today is show biz!
Coulter understands that, and plays the game. I don’t expect liberals to like her or to approve of her more (deliberately) outrageous statements, but I think that anyone who DESPISES her is taking her too seriously.
Before you go full throttle in vilifying Riefenstahl you might check out her last fictional film, Tiefland (if you can find it playing at a revival house somewhere…I don’t think it’s available on DVD), which is a not-so-subtle condemnation of fascism. Like Eisenstein (a filmmaker no one seems to condemn for his glorification of the Leninist and Stalinist brands of communism responsible for the deaths of 20-40 million), she bid her talents to the available bidder and later recanted any belief in the philosophies espoused by her employers. And she belongs in the small group of filmmakers, along with Eisenstein, Welles, Pontecorvo, Rossellini, Fellini, Frankenheimer, Kurosawa, and Gilliam whose work has influenced nearly all of subsequent commerical cinematography and production design. And her last film, the undersea documetary, Impressionen Unter Wasser was absolutely beautiful.
I always thought that (the young) Leni Riefenstahl looked a bit like Jamie Lee Curtis. And she had a brain, not that random insult generator attached to a shrill Talking Barbie noisemaker that Ann Coulter substitues for her higher cortical functions. Heck, there isn’t even enough meat on Coulter to make a good meal out of her. Leni, hands down.

What the hell is wrong with you people? She looks like Mr. Ed! There is nothing hot about Ann Coulter, nothing. Plus her personality ruins ANY shred of attractiveness (if you can find any) the s/he might have had.
YUCK!
All that being said, I’d pick the other lady. I’m not sure Ann would survive if we were on an island together. Then again, I could build a raft and use her as the motor.
I’m with PinkMarabou. Ann Coulter looks like she’s taken a severe beating from the fugly stick. I can’t understand how some people, even some liberals, find her attractive. I’m straight, but there are men I’m more attracted to than Ann Coulter.
The young Leni was way hotter, and unlike Ann she had a brain and artistic vision (albeit one she allowed to be used for evil), which would make for good conversation.
