James Wolcott's acidic book snuck into the stores last week amid the "Unfit for Command" hoopla...and it's a great counter-point. On page 8 he even predicts the savaging of Kerry's war record.

This polemic (I'm about 1/3rd of the way through) reads like every DU rant about the media ever - except funnier. A few choice lines:

Novak - "A Washington fixture, which does no honor to Washington or fixtures..."

Ann Coulter - "She is the Paris Hilton of postmodern politics, an elongated zero, a white-hot sex symbol symbolizing nothing."

Peggy Noonan - "The dashboard saint of Republican piety, giving off a phosphorescent glow."

Dennis Miller - "After 9/11, he lifted his leg against liberal Democrats and Hollywood lefties and was eventually rewarded with his own weeknight wee-wee pad on CNBC."

Alan Keyes and Michael Savage - "Their shows offered a choice between two kinds of crap, smooth or chunky..."*

Comments like these are so densely packed in this book that if you highlighted them all, the pages would be solid yellow except for the articles and conjunctions.

READ THIS BOOK! :D:thumbsup: :D:thumbsup:

* BWA-HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

1. If "Vanity Fair" only featured him and a bunch of Hitchens clones

I'd still buy it just to read his stuff. My favorite.
