Who’s hotter? Who’s smarter? Who do u like more? Dowd is anti-Bush, Coulter is pro.

Actually, i am asking this to learn a bit more about these two and what people think of them.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I think Coulter is hot.

OTOH Dowd is a redhead.

Decisions, decisions.

Dowd is at least nominally sane.

Coulter needs a huggie-jacket. Stat.

Dowd is a brilliant writer, a thoughtful and informed commentator who can be savagely funny, and is sort of attractive in a hot-professor kind of way.

Coulter is a screeching parrot of erroneous right-wing propaganda and sterling proof that any gangly skank with pricey clothes and a dye job can go on TV and capture the hearts of thousands of men who don’t know any better.

So to review: Dowd is smarter, and hotter.

This is a contest between the banal and the psychotic.

I choose option C, Tina Fey.

</div>

Dowd gets to at least claim non-partisanship - as she ripped Clinton as badly as she rips Bush. Which I believe makes her a little more honest.

Yes, but not nearly as entertaining. Let’s face it, reasonable discourse does not a good comedienne make.

Coulter is hotter, smarter and usually right.

For ridiculously broad values of ‘right’, maybe.

Wasn’t Dowd linked to Michael Douglas?

I bet Coulter is better in the sack. She probably lets you in on the back nine.

I bet Coulter is frigid as penguin in the sack. She’d put out only as long as the money kept flowing.

That’s your opinion. I suggest you accept the idea that millions of people don’t share it.

Only on the SD would we have a conversation about hitting “the back nine” on Ann Coulter.

Sometimes I wonder why I hang out here, but then I see something like this and it all comes back. 😃

I wouldn’t screw Ann Coulter with RikWriter’s dick.

I love Ann Coulter. Dowd is a peckish shrew who uses cynicism and sarcarsm as a means of bolstering intellectually flimsy arguments.

Come to think of it…at least Coulter is hot.

You’re not welcome to screw anything with my dick, thanks anyway.

Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong.

Dowd is a fool; Coulter is some sort of subnormal. I do not consider either of them sexually attractive, or to be on any higher intellectual level than “pseudo.”

The point is, of course, that your beliefs aren’t universal and aren’t necessarily correct…and of course, neither are mine. But neither of them should be considered ridiculous by the other, given that fact.
