This book is a must read, one of my absolute favorites.

Regarding the early 700 plus quotes, Coulter was recently on Hannity and Colmes where Colmes had obviously only read the first five pages and did nothing but ask questions concerning the validity of her references.

    LAMB: Let me read it. "Nina Totenberg showed how serious journalists work, remarking of Molinari's CBS gig, quote, `Well, this really makes me want to puke. You know, at least CBS had the decency when they hired Diane Sawyer from the Nixon White House to make her go out and stand in the rain for a year or so to earn her position. It really -- it just makes me want to throw up.'"

    What's in that sentence or couple of sentences that describes what you're trying to get at?

    COULTER: Well, that is the part where all of the media world goes crazy that CBS had hired moderate, pro-choice Susan Molinari to deliver, you know, cooking and exercise tips on Sunday morning TV. And meanwhile, earlier in the chapter, I've cited dozens of journalists who worked on the staff of Democrats or who were Democratic politicians themselves delivering objective news. I mean, at the same time, CBS had hired Bill Bradley, Democratic senator, soon to run for president, to actually deliver political analysis on the evening news. Here Susan Molinari was just going to be giving, you know, little self-help human-interest-type stories, and the reaction in the media -- you would have thought that, you know, CBS had turned over the news division to the Republican Party, or perhaps the Klan!

Doesn't that say it all?

It says a lot. Which reminds me, it is good to go back over the written transcript because, for me at least, it was hard to pick up on everything fast-talking Ann said.
