Dueling Dual Dual Negatives in Time:

From Time's cover story on Ann Coulter comes a headache-not-uninducing sentence:

"But while Coulter can occasionally be coarse—she's not one of those conservatives who won't say "f___" two or three times over dinner—she doesn't seem particularly uncomplicated."

Huh?

Excuse me while I go put ice on my forehead. My head overheats whenever I try to decipher that sentence.
