  Then There's the Liberal Public Intellectual
If Ann Coulter is the current conservative version of the public intellectual, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., was for decades the liberal version. Which really shows how degraded the current GOP has become.

The Boston Globe remembers Schlesinger as a public intellectual here; in the Crimson, Samuel Jacobs wrote this nice remembrance.

Ann Coulter as the conservative version of the public intellectual? Puh-lease. Sure, and Al Franken is the liberal version. She sells books and does well for herself by making controversial statements, but you don't really believe that she's a public intellectual do you? Public, certainly. An intellectual? Hardly. Try George Will or Thomas Sowell.
