Ann Coulter should be writing a check to the DNC. In fact, I think the Democratic Underground should set up an affiliate link to her website. Here's why:

I'm not a Coulter groupie. Never HAVE been a Coulter groupie. Despite two years of reading LW's blogs, most of which espoused a similar if not identical philosophy to that of Coulter, I really wasn't solkd on her books. Sure, I know she's compelling and has a biting sense of satire, but the fact is, on the issues where I agree with her, she would be preaching to the converted, and on the issues where I disagreed, well, I would be as unlikely to bend on my position as she would on hers.

That all changed with the flap on her latest book, "Godless". I didn't plan on reading it, and, in fact, didn't even know she had a book out until someone found her comments about the New Jersey widows, took them wildly out of context, and wrote a lot of words on their misinformation. You see, I'm a sucker for source material, and almost never take anything at face value, but want to review the work being criticized to see what I think. I've done it in my analysis of the LDS church, preferring the holy books of the LDS faith over the highly subjective works of their critics, and I apply it as well to works like the "Da Vinci Code", which I will not engage in serious debate about because I have no desire to line Dan Brown's pockets to analyze the work. Because of the recent flap, Coulter's latest offering is high on my "to buy" list, something LW couldn't accomplish in the course of two years of highly persuasive blogging. The Democrats, essentially, will be selling the copy I plan to buy (library books don't cut it for me...I'm also a sucker for highlighting), ironically spreading the very message they hoped to quash.

Let's hear it for Howie and the boys (or is that "boyz"?)
