Quote: the G-man said: But that's my point: wouldn't a Coulter or a Buchanan be a "star" at any college, while still being able to make millions as pundits? So why wouldn't they want the additional security and/or prestige of being professors?
My point was that a tenured professor doesn't make that much money (at least not by urban California standards). Very few will have the opportunity to become a Sagan or Derschowitz. As for Coulter, can you honestly tell me you're impressed with her legal skills? Would you want her to be negotiating that big deal you're working. Her talents are best suited to what she does now. Having a brilliant legal mind isn't her strong point.
