Grrrrrr!!! Don't you hate it when you screw up so publically? I wish I knew how to correct the title after the fact. All copies were sold out at my Borders. I plan to read it as soon as I can lay hands on it. Has anyone else read it yet?

I read 2/3's of it a month ago. She would be the first to say it's not a heavy tome of great intellectual thought. She tells a good story, she's been working the media as a professional publicist since well before her 7 hears in NOW (President of the LA chapter and on the national board) and she's chock full of delightful stories highlighting the Politically Correct hypocrites of the lame-stream media. She played that media like a fine violin, and knows its sour notes with inside accuracy.

For example, she relates how Clinton had Donna Shalala's Dept of Health and Human Services pay California NOW (which was on the verge of bankruptcy) over a half-million dollars for a grant to study "tobacco control", between 1995 and 1997. When the Lewinsky scandal broke, the grant was transferred to National NOW, just before several key feminists, including Patricia Ireland, made that famous press conference, standing up for Clinton.
