Editor&Publisher: New Anti-Coulter Book Will Follow O'Reilly's to Stores
By E&P Staff
Published: September 24, 2006

NEW YORK -- With millions of books to be sold, this fall will see another surge in highly partisan polemics. Bill O’Reilly’s “Culture Warrior” will hit the stores first on Sept. 25, published by Broadway Books, with attacks on (among other newspaper pundits) Frank Rich, Richard Cohen, Jimmy Breslin and Maureen Dowd, and the coining of a new dismissive phrase, “S-P,” for “secular-progressive.”

Following in October comes “Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter,” the first book by Joe Maguire and published by William Morrow. It’s described by the publisher as an “unbridled look at a woman who twists the truth, misleads, plays loose with facts and allusions, and has been accused of plagiarism in hammering home her logic-defying arguments. ‘Brainless’ illustrates the dangers, ironies, and hypocrisies of the Mistress of Malice.” It also claims to include “source notes you can verify.”

The book may be no walk in the park for bestselling author and columnist Coulter, but on its cover it does feature a rather flattering photo of her, long legs and all, in a park. As for its not so flattering and abrupt title: Perhaps all’s fair in book wars, given the names of Coulter books, including "Godless," “Slander” and “Treason.”

Oddly, the early audience for the book, as judged by amazon.com’s “customers who bought this book also bought” list, consists of fans of Coulter herself and fellow rightwing hero Michael Savage.

Meanwhile, Maguire has set up a web site at http://www.anncoulterisbrainless.com/...

3. The one thing I would agree with Bush* on... (his nickname for Ann)

GRASSHOPPER...

Boy, doesn't that fit. No offense to those who may be tall and thin, (who most of us envy), but she doesn't look normal. Almost like one of those stretchy toys..

2. What's wrong with being a secular progressive?

That just pisses me off, even more than them dissing on 'liberal', for some reason. Maybe because 'liberal' seems so generic, whereas 'secular progressive' seems to be more insulting and condescending impling that because I dont' go to church, and I think things like universal health care are good for our country, that I'm un-american or something bad.

Fuck him.

8. Broadway Books?

Isn't that a decidedly less prominent publishing house than O'Reilly has had in the past?
