A PRIVATE FIGURE VS. A PUBLIC ONE :

Devil in a Blue Dress (ERIC ALTERMAN, September 23, 2002, The Nation)

It's degrading to have to write about Coulter again. As a pundit, she is about on a par with Charles Manson, better suited to a lifelong stay in the Connecticut Home for the Criminally Insane than for the host's seat on Crossfire. Her books are filled with lies, slander and phony footnotes that are themselves lies and slanders. Her very existence as a public figure is an insult to our collective intelligence.
