'The Only Way to Defeat the Enemy is to Write As Well as You Can" ----Saul Bellow
I am going to presume that regardless of political bent, most people interested in 'truth' will respect a good argument regardless of its source. Al Franken delivered an excellent speech to a Jewish Organization in Connecticut at a forum he shared with Ann Coulter. By quoting Coulter's writings--and remarking upon them, he received an ovation. Additionally, Ms. Coulter was unable to counter him--faced with her own irrational utterances.

To echo those commenting on that link: I too would pay good money to see a DVD of that debate. I've damn near worn out my tape of Franken, Molly Ivins and Bill O'Reilly from a few years back.
