Coulter: "Now the Times won't even publish McCain's op-ed. I wouldn't have published it either -- I've read it twice and I still can't remember what it says -- but I also wouldn't have published McCain's seven op-eds in The New York Times since 1996."

No, the real victim here is anyone who owns stock in the publishing company. They wasted their limited resources financing this lemon, probably including a healthy advance for Ms. Mapes which sales will never recoup.
I confess that, for a mere buck, I might have been tempted to buy it myself, especially given the recent exchange rates. I must wonder, though, what sort of complete and utter dullard would have paid $25 for it.

JT,
Why, oh why, would you have spent a buck on a Mary Mapes book?
I hesitate to say this, as I like your prose, but I might just have to nominate you the "knucklehead of the day".

William, it's simple:
1) Since it was at a dollar store, it wsa "remaindered" and Mapes will get not a single penny from my purchse.
2) Sheer laugh value.
3) Once I read it, I figure I ought to be able to get at least one blog posting out of mocking it.
4) One never knows when one might have a TP crisis.
J.

Hell, stock up on them and sell them for original price at Kos conventions and Democrat rallies.

The only way I would buy Mary Mapes book is if her publisher put together some sort of promotional scavenger hunt where I had to search for the copy at a livestock show -- and the winning copy was signed by Lucy Rameriz. That would be fun.
