OK, I looked at both resumes on the always reliable source.

One graduated Cum Laude from Harvard, one from Cornell.

From there the paths are different but have some similarities. One went to law, one to entertainment. Both are authors. Both are described as "pundits."

In my opinion, both are now "entertainers."

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.

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 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.

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?
