Oh, hell. I just couldn't help myself and just sent this off to Joe:

Dear Mr. Conason,

By any chance, did you happen to read even the first half of Ann Coulter's book?

I'm sure it's just unintentional humor on your part when you accuse Coulter of writing a book which is "replete ... with falsehoods and distortions" when you write an article about her book which is also replete with falsehoods and distortions.

For one thing, if you had read only as far as page 82 in her latest book, you'd know that she does indeed write about the VOA investigation, albeit not in dreary detail. Why do you accuse her of not doing so at all? Even a quick look at the index of her book shows that. You may be a lot of things, but sloppy has never been one of them.

I could do a blow-by-blow list of more falsehoods and distortions in your piece, but since you'll probably just reply with a snippy two-line snit -- if that much -- I won't bother typing it all out here.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess, if I may: You take just about everything Sidney Blumenthal says and writes at face value, doncha? I've been reading parts of his gushing Clinton hagiography (in the brand new Borders in lower Manhattan) and I have to say that I haven't laughed this hard since...I don't know when! :-)

Just for fun (and because you're so cute when you get hysterical), I may actually buy one of your books. Which one do you recommend?

Well, I hope you're enjoying the holiday weekend!

Best wishes,

Great job! Joe Conason, aka NYC GOP Chick's floor mop.

NYC GOP Chick, your line

to Joe Conason pricks a memory that he's a Clinton knee-padder from the pink paper of record, the The New York Observer.

Conason did such lip service for traitorrapist42, she won the additional distinction of a neck brace.

I can only add to the general observation that Conason has not bothered to read the book.

I mean, you get a fax from James Carville with some talking points, you just go down on the keyboard.

The parallels drawn between liberals and their Soviet icons affirms the work of Eric Hoffer, notably The True Believer.

Behold, Joe Conason and Sidney Blumenthal, shining examples of The New Soviet Man.

Now, there are rules and they must be obeyed:
