The NYT takes Coulter’s bait
“Every single book she has done has become an instant best-seller,” said Bob Wietrak, a vice president for merchandising at Barnes & Noble. “Her fan base is phenomenal and she is in the media constantly. When she is in the media, it creates more media coverage. And every single day, the book sells more.”

Without the total package, Ms. Coulter would be just one more nut living in Mom’s basement. You can accuse her of cynicism all you want, but the fact that she is one of the leading political writers of our age says something about the rest of us.

I just love the way these lefty commentators project: They hate GWB, so every right-minded person must think likewise; they think Ann just screeches and screams to sell books, kind of like they do to chase Pulitzer Prizes. They don’t consider that Ann might just have beliefs that many of the rest of us share, and that she has the ability to package and state those beliefs in a manner that sells very well.
