Coulter and Limbaugh are more analagous to liberal commentators and writers who have stron political opinions then they are to the Hollywood types who pronouce their opinions without seeming to have any real knowledge about the topic or any ability to construct a case for their opinion based on logic and facts. Both are extremely knowledgeable -- and generally, it is tough to disagree rationally with either. However, Coulter's attacks are extremely hard-edged and intolerant. Even as a conservative, I have to quarrel with her presentation sometimes.

As for Streisand et al, just for the record, they are no worse or no more ridiculous than the Coulters and Limbaughs of your world. Coulter and somtimes Limbaugh may be just as extreme in their own way but they seem to have more of an understanding of the issue and ability to make rational arguments then the Hollywood types. The knock Striesand et al is more shallowness then what the specific of their opinion.

Tim, are you sure Streisand is as ignorant as you think? When I was in LA, she was one of the Hollywood types who understood best the issues.........after all, she's a New Yorker.......at least, they think they know. <g> She's also pretty bright. I know that email did not cast in a very good light but that's not typical of her. As for Baldwin, I know little about him and don't particularly care for his opinions on any issue. Along with Scharzenegger, these were about the only political people in Hollywood when I was there. ted
