Mediaboss Marketing

I, too, appreciate the Star Democrats presenting columnists of opposing viewpoints. I want to hear what both the right and the left have to say. How else can we come to agree on issues?

But please, not Ann Coulter. Her over-long Aug. 14 piece was an undisciplined rant full of graceless invective. I agree that the media pay too much attention to the presidential tweet and not enough to what Congress is doing, or undoing, on our behalf. Ms. Coulter could have made up for the failure of the media by explaining whats in the bill in plain language, with relevant statistics. Instead, she writes of often specious family ties and idiotic family reunification laws. Mean, sloppy writing.

She didnt do her homework not even long ago in English class when she was supposed to learn verb moods and tenses, such as how you use the conditional tense (I, you, he, she, it would) in a clause following an if clause of condition contrary to fact in which the verb takes the subjunctive mood. Ms. Coulter wants her idol, President Trump, to talk about the RAISE Act and nothing else. Great idea! Lets hear all about it! So she writes, If he were smart, hed [he would] talk about nothing else. In her last line the punch line she inadvertently implied that her idol is not smart.

I hope for her sake the president doesnt read her column.

She should have written, If hes smart, he will talk about nothing else. But maybe the fact is that shes thinking, like much of humankind these days, that President Trump is not so smart.

One more thing this is too delicious. Next to Coulters website, she is quoted as saying, I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am.

Reader, she called herself stupid. Star Democrat, my newspaper of record, spare me the work of stupid pundits. This is fun, but in the weeks and months to come, we need earnest columnists sincere in their zeal to help us learn from the heartbreak of Charlottesville. And we need someone who can sort out the RAISE Act.
