I think they're both entertainers as well, but I think Coulter has substantially more experience in the legal/political field.

Franken's degree is in Government, often known as Political Science.

That was one of my minors, not that it's relevent to this discussion.

Watch her infamous CBC interview... that display of intelligence was laughable.

Did you hear the Adam Carolla show when he hung up on her? It was FANTASTIC. Stupid twat got what she deserved.

Maybe. Too bad she doesn't take better advantage of it. She presumably has the legal education and experience to know how to construct persuasive and supportable arguments, yet intead she is, as you conceded, a media whore. A rich one maybe, and smart enough to laugh all the way to the bank, but a media whore nonetheless.

Government and Political Science are not impressive degrees. They teach you very little about policy and politics. Now if he graduated from Kennedy then that is quite impressive.

I shall refer you to XOXO on the Kennedy school.

"I am my kid's mom"
 

Al has used some low tricks to sell books (like using other's names on his crummy books: Rush, God, etc.) but this is the lowest:

If you now order his boxed set (and he has plenty returns to stick in boxes), you get a free "Dr. Laura Talking Action Figure".

It's described: The figure stands 11 inches tall and "preaches, teaches and nags" on demand. With each push of a button, the Dr. Laura doll speaks one of 23 of her most well-known sayings in her own voice. These sayings include, "Now, go do the right thing," "I am the proud mother of an American Soldier," "Don't argue with me, it makes me testy," and "I am my kid's mom."

If you really want to support Al, for a $500 contribution to his midwestvaluespac.org, he'll call a conservative of your choice and lie to him or her.

I know what I want for Christmas. :D

Seconded. That's almost as good as GI Jesus. With real blessing action and gliding motion!

There you go.

They teach you very little about anything useful to real life in most college degrees.

People learn that when they get out of the academic ivory tower.

Also, you do know that he taught at Kennedy, right?

Yes it's annoying and creepy. :eek:

I should have been so lucky. ;)

Delt, I'm aware of that, but thats especially true in liberal arts degrees (which I have). I imagine engineering and scientific degrees may convey more usable knowledge.

I didn't know he taught at Kennedy, nope.
