4. Why do we obsess over coulter's looks?
There's so much more to attack her for.

(BTW the TV picture seems stretched to me.)

5. as scary as it sounds, looking at her is more palatable than reading her.
I don't discuss either because I don't think she's worthy of my time though.

9. I'm not obsessing over anything
I posted these as a comparison. She was the one bitching and obsessing over the Time cover photo. BTW -- I got those photos from www.crooksandliars.com, and they are attributed to the Tonight Show.

10. The Tonight Show pic looks pretty out of proportion to me . . .
look at the shape of the desk, etc. I'm not defending Anne the man in any way, must pointing out that the pic looks manipulated.

14. I'm not singling you out.
Sorry if it came across that way. ann coulter just seems to elicit a lot of reaction at DU based merely on the way she looks. To me that goes against what separates liberals from neocons.

Especially when there's so many other reasons to mock the rabid wingnut.

19. She seems to delight in commenting about liberal women based on looks.
I think some people just like to throw that back to her.

20. I remember when Hillary's book came out
and Coulter was on Hannity bragging about how much less she weighs than Hillary.

13. Cameras actually lie all the time
because they photograph a moment out of time that may or may not be representative of what is going on. How many group photos do you have with people with eyes shut, because they were blinking? We blink 9 times a minute supposedly.

There are all kinds of distortions perpetuated with cameras.

The first photograph is distorted by the shape of the photographed image being changed. This is often done accidentally when cutting and pasting a digital image from one source to another, by grabbing one of those anchors.

The Time cover uses distorted perspective by photographing Coulter from a low position with a wide angle lens, thereby distorting her legs and making them look longer than they already are.

She is not an attractive woman, and really shouldn't wear short skirts. It is like anorexia on parade.

18. You know, I'm not one for trashing someone based on looks, BUT
I make an exception for Ann Coulter.

Why do I make this exception for her? Because she asked for it. She has made, and as far as I know, continues to make vile comments about liberal women and Democratic women based on ridiculous stereotypes about looks. She simultaneously praises her own kind for their "beauty."

If she can dish it out, she should be able to take it.

22. The Tonight Show is apparently running out of material
else why would they dig up a skeleton and use it for a guest?
