I think this must be the best piece of good news I’ve heard since Al-Zarqawi’s reign of terror was stopped last week.
Ann Coulter’s masterpiece of hateful rhetoric has now been knocked out of the #1 spot on Amazon.com, and it took FAR less time than I could’ve even imagined! And better yet, what replaced it? A book full of inspiring stories of personal successes — Succeed On Your Own Terms. I recommend you buy a copy just to keep Ann out of the #1 spot. Perhaps things are turning around in this world. I think people are finally seeing through Ann’s schtick. All the hate-filled neo-cons bought their copy of the book like good little soldiers, and now they’re all brain-fat and happy with a whole new round of untrue stories and anecdotes that they can try to foist upon unsuspecting family members at the next barbeque. Now that they’re all fed, there should be plenty of these books to go around. To keep Ann flush with cash, she’s going to have to rally the troops again and get some of them to buy fourth and fifth copies of the book to give to friends… Or put in closets, or burn, or whatever.
I leave you with a great blog entry that should put this whole Coulter thing to bed. It’s from Blogcritics.org, and the title is (some of you are gonna love this), “Why I Hate Ann Coulter and You Should Too.” It provides a great analysis of Coulter’s motivation behind criticizing the 9/11 widows. Two quotes from the article:
“It’s disgusting that Ann Coulter uses the misery of someone else to sell her vitriolic venom in book form. Her book continues to sell at a rapid pace, but at what cost? She reaps the benefits of the deaths of innocent men and women in 9/11 at the same time she tramples on the tears of their children and loved ones left behind.”…
“It is apparent that Coulter is jealous of the attention that these 9/11 widows are receiving. (Several appeared on Larry King Live earlier this week.) While Coulter has to rely on sensationalism and insults to get press, these four widows have bravely chosen to use their personal losses in a public way, demanding answers about what happened to their loved ones in the World Trade Center disaster.”
