I didn't say whatever she says is right. I am saying she is incredibly intelligent. Moore is not. However, Moore is not trying to be intelligent. Moore is a film maker and at that he is extremely talented. He doesn't even try to make himself out as "intelligent".
Extreme political views? Well as I've said before regarding anyone: If you find problems with what she writes, present proof otherwise. In this case you got her on one mistake which might embarass her, but doesn't compare with how you can go into Moore's film and take apart all the mistakes and lies.
At the end of the day, she's very intelligent. I think Al Franken is very intelligent as well (probably even more intelligent) and they both function in the same role in American politics.

Actually I think the point is that if she can make a mistake on something supposedly in her field of political commentary - what other mistakes or misrepresentations has she made?
Her points and arguements about Canada-US relations were pretty far off base or just wrong when she was on FoxNEWS discussing Bush's visit to Canada after the election... it was apparent that her points where based more in her political view and less in facts than the other speakers. The sad thing is how dismissive she acts towards those that disagree with her, or try to correct her, ironically becoming just as intractable, fanatical, and denying of reality - as the 'liberals' she demonizes.
If you go to the site and watch the entire 47min program - of which Ann makes up but a portion - you'll at least see the entire Coulter interview... and who stupid she comes off as.
Finally yes I do read and watch her work - remember we do have access to both the internet and TV up here in Canada... so her website with "articles" is available... as is FoxNews (channel 197 on Rogers).
