Somebody had to do it. Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter.
quote: She is an uncompromising apologist for the right and a hater of all things left. Is there anything she won't do or say to further her agenda? The answer is no.
Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter is 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. She spews her venom generously across the spectrum. Democrats and Liberals are just the beginning. If you're a woman (you shouldn't vote), gay (you're going to hell), a 9/11 widow (dancing on your murdered husband's grave) or Bill Clinton (slurs and charges too numerous to mention here), you will find yourself the object of her ire.
Now it's time to turn the tables and take a good hard look at the High Priestess of Hypocrisy. Journalist Joe Maguire takes apart her arguments, picks apart her agenda, and gives us a look at the psychology and background of the woman who has reduced public political and cultural debate to browbeating and name-calling.
Diligently researched (with source notes you can verify!), Maguire separates fact from myth and gives us an unvarnished look at the REAL Ann Coulter.
Let's face it. You don't ever want to read a book by Ann Coulter. Read this so you don't have to!

He wouldn't care, nor would he bother to read it. It might upset his fragile worldview.

And it appears that Mr. McGuire has been fired for it: quote: Joe Maguire, whose book Brainless: The Lies and Lunacy of Ann Coulter, is scheduled for release on Amazon.com tomorrow, will not concede that he was fired -- nor will Reuters. But this certainly has the telltale look of someone who abruptly resigns their post to "spend more time with family." In other words, a canning by any other name…
“There was a difference of opinion about the approval I received to write this book,” Maguire said. “I thought I had met the conditions, and proceeded accordingly. As a result, I no longer work there.”
