I’m not a huge Ann Coulter fan; her bite often overshadows her brilliance, and I frankly don’t always agree with her. Not that it matters. I am quite sure Ann Coulter is not losing sleep tonight because The Anchoress is a lukewarm fan; she has plenty of others who are fervent!
Heck, I wouldn’t lose sleep to discover she wasn’t a big fan of the Anchoress, either! 
That said, I thought the cover shot on TIME magazine was needlessly unflattering to her. It says a great deal more about TIME than about Coulter (or about Rush Limbaugh for that matter) that they cannot bring themselves to allow a complimentary photograph of a conservative icon on their cover. It says they’re small, petty and manipulative, childish and adolescent. Does that spell it out?
TIME magazine puts Ann Coulter on its cover and she looks like a distorted freak.
They put Hillary Clinton on their cover a few years ago, and she looked like a saint.
The folks at Ann Coulter.com played a little with a Hillary pic, just to be fair, I guess. Yes, it’s childish and spiteful. Hate begets hate and so on and son on.
Meanwhile, Plainsfeeder undistorts Coulter and you can see, the pic is much more normal and flattering. H/T Michelle Malkin.
If TIME magazine wants to put caricatures on its cover, why doesn’t it hire an artist?

Anchoress,
You might be surprised to learn that Ann Coulter may be a big fan of yours…
She believes what she says, and drives the libs apoplectic. And she enjoys her lightening-rod role….What’s not to love?
I hope we’re seeing the “End of Days” for the MSM. They have been pulling tricks like this for years with impunity. Childish? Yes…Effective? Probably…Time to stop buying their products.

Okay, I am no big Ann Coulter fan, but having seen both photos, I guess I’m not discriminating enough to see where she looks ugly. She looks hot! Heck, she is hot. And if I had legs that go on forever (instead of rather short chubby ones) I would have no problem emphasizing them. I just don’t get it…
