The Devil in Ann Coulter

♠
September 25, 2006 -- THERE'S a good reason why the four authors of the upcoming book "I Hate Ann Coulter!" are remaining anonymous - they're afraid for their safety. "None of us want our real names in the hands of gun-toting, abortion clinic-bombing, self-proclaimed 'wing nuts,' who follow Coulter," one of the scribes tells us. Coulter , who called 9/11 widows publicity-loving "harpies," is shown with a devil's tail and horns on the book's cover. It's only the second time in Simon & Schuster's history that an author's identity has been kept secret, the first being, "Go Ask Alice," a teen drug addict's diary, published in 1971.

-- "Page Six" of The NY Post

I don't know. This actually seems rather chickenshit. I doubt their lives would be endangered. Maybe their small reputations would be highlighted, if these are 'nobodies.' I would only hope that the picture of Ann on the cover does not have her wearing much more than horns and a tail.

Those Damn Yankees and Their Freedom-Loving Ways

“If you want your 15 minutes of fame, what better place to get it than the rostrum of the General Assembly?” he said. “I think very often they are playing for the domestic audience and trying to build up their persona as a tough guy not afraid to take on the Yankee superpower.”

-- Warren Hoge for The NY Times

Here is some historical context for last week's colorful performances at the UN. I only hope that a new precedent has not been founded for yet broader purposes, and that future despots will not start promoting their own consumer goods, such as that stylish line of summer wear or custom-made furniture. I think oil is enough, and you don't need a hard sell.
