Measure Twice, Cut Once

More on Ann Coulter: Okay, now I've had a chance to read a little of Coulter's writing. Here is an excerpt from today's screed on Trent Lott:

The idea that Lott took the occasion of an old timer's birthday to introduce a new policy initiative to bring back segregation -- a Democrat policy -- is ludicrous. Lott is a fine fellow; he just has some sort of liberal-Tourette's syndrome that makes him spout Democrat ideas at random.... Up until two weeks ago conservatives were clamoring for Lott's removal precisely because of his annoying habit of saying dumb things. (Showing their inferior intellect, liberals have only recently figured that out.) Republicans should ask Lott to step down as leader, but only for all the nice things he's said about Teddy Kennedy. (emphases added)

Well, I'm starting to understand why some people are virulent anti-Coulters, as I mentioned yesterday. But I wonder how long this kind of shtick can last -- how long will anyone but the fringe listen to or read the non sequiturs and ad hominem arguments of a loose cannon like Coulter?
