On Lawn's Journal: Bizzare Love Triangle

Passing through the channels, I spotted something of a convergence. Michelle Malkin was talking about -- Anne Coulter. These are two people on the same side, both powerful and present personalities, but their styles were clashing. Anne is more raunchy, relying on a ball peen hammer of wit and sarcasm to drive an oftle needle fine and delicate point. Michelle is more like the machine gun, rapid fire facts from all directions to help corral people to her opinions.

But thats not all. The camera pans, and there (if I have it right) was Wonkette if I recognize her hair well enough. Sophisticated and sometimes jovial, she had the difficult position of attacking Anne Coulter while defending Jon Stewart-types in spite of the similarities.

Wonkette (if that is her hair) starts politely talking over Malkin, inaudible chaos ensues momentarily. The host brings them back down, for the impending soft-break. Wonkette is silent just in time to hear Malkin end the conversation like the thunderous clap of fate declaring, "I'm no one to pick a fight with...."

If I can risk making the comparison and leave aside the licentious undertones that might develop, there is the blonde, redhead and brunette. Their hold on the issues is keener than most, and their ability to articulate is much better than most. Like Charlie's Angels they are fighters more than anything else, they were proven in the intense flame wars of the internet trenches.

They make an unusual convergence, like if Jeremy Irons and Christopher Lloyd ever did a movie together. Or when the Three Tenors sang together. Or when the General Lee (in somewhat different garb) and KITT were in the same race, or Godzilla and King Kong meet on the shores of Tokyo. This isn't some strained cross-over like Flintstones and Jetsons (or Timmy Turner and Jimmy Neutron for that matter), this is a real convergence.

Coulter and ... Stewart?

What *possible* similarity could anyone find between Anne Coulter and Jon Stewart, aside from the fact that they're both public figures?

Re:

They both rely on sarcasm and wit to hammer in delicate points. They both switch between begging to be taken seriously and hiding behind their humor. If you are ingrained in the way of thinking you can translate their hyperbole's into something that rings true, but to anyone outside the personality cult the rantings come across more like absurdities.

But that is just my take.

So, what you're saying is "Don't cross the streams".
