	Coulter's a satirist -- really? - Los Angeles Times
		Humor, even the unfunny kind, usually runs in inverse proportion to physical hotness, and that's quadruply true for women, who often don't bother trying to be funny unless they're still upset about missing the prom or have physical deformities like acne or small breasts.
		Coulter, with her lucky genes and shrewd marketing instincts, isn't self-loathing enough to be a comedienne, but she's a brilliant satirist in spite of herself.
		She can add tragedy to time, subtract actual humor, divide by the lowest common denominator and come up with "A Modest Proposal, 2006." It was about time someone pimped up that rusty old tract.
