QUEERLY ENOUGH, I HAD A GAY OLD TIME READING THE BOOK :

Coulter's revenge : My one Nostradamus-esque column of the year. (Bill Berkowitz. 06.06.02, WorkingForChange)

A new book comes out later this month guaranteed to piss you off. While Oprah won't consider reconvening her book club over it and it won't be the publishing equivalent of Spiderman or Star Wars, it will become Number One on best-seller lists. The author will be all over the tube and talk radio.

And, there's not a damn thing you can do about it!

How do I know this? Simple.

I've been scanning right-wing websites and they are salivating over the arrival in bookstores of Ann Coulter's new book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right. If you think Bernard Goldberg's Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News had a conservative coming out party worthy of the late Malcolm Forbes, wait and see what happens when Crown Books rolls out Slander.

Wow, as if to prove Ms Coulter's point, Mr. Berkowitz finds it necessary to compare Bernard Goldberg, whose sexuality I know nothing about, to Malcolm Forbes, right down to the line about "coming out". Tell me again why conservatives think there's media bias against them? Posted by Orrin Judd at August 1, 2002 4:14 PM
