    I'll write a book about being called "fat" for half that. And I'll include anecdotes about John McCain as if he were my father.

    I am so thrilled because both our memoirs are coming out at the same time and I know the comparisons will be so unnerving.

    @Susie Bright: Wonder how many will pick up yours when meaning to purchase hers. Possibly some there's some stealth rejacketing work here for the retail guerrillas among us.


    Longtime admirer, by the way.

    Aladdin.


    This is why she gets 750K and you get nothing.


    Easy money for Hyperion, especially as Coulter's bulb continues to dim. McCain can say whatever she wants and it'll be a hit.

    @RainyKate: That is especially since you can all but hear the person saying it in that annoying Midwestern drawl that young women from upper middle class backgrounds all seem to speak nowadays. You know the sort of socioloect that I'm talking about, right? If not, simply hang out around the hand lotion section at your local Bath and Body Works and you'll instantly know what I mean.

    I keep thinking of an episode of this American Life from some years back. An ordinary garage band had gigs here and there, in Manhattan and NJ, and they were set to close for some real band, and the house was full! They could not believe it. And the audience was jumping, and they sang along, they knew all the original tunes never heard on the radio, they danced to the music, it was the greatest reception ever. And then ... after the second curtain call, the place emptied like a bathtub. Not a soul remained. The band scratched their collective heads. What just happened here? They never before and never ever again had an evening remotely like it. It was a complete mystery.


    What I mean is, Meghan McGoo will wake up some morning and, omg, I'm Monica Lewinski!

    Are you people kidding me? Not even a month ago people were jumping to her defense in her feud with Laura Ingraham and now you're ripping her and calling her fat?

    La La La by Meghan McCain


    CHAPTER ONE


    I'm writing a book. This is really important stuff. Lots of important Americans wrote books! Did you know? Like Ernest Hemingway and George Steinbrenner! And Herbert Melville. Well, I'm pretty sure he was American, because he wrote about chasing down big fat white whales (fuck you for thinking what you're thinking, Dr. Laura), which is a metaphor for capturing your dreams, and THAT'S what AMERICA is all about. I am capturing my white whale here, and I'm going to stuff it and mount it in my living room, just like he did. A bunch of people thought I couldn't do this, and that just made me want to do it more! Like Ann Coulter. What does SHE know? If she can do this, so can I. I mean, haw, I'm DOING IT NOW!!! Doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well! Maybe I'll even get an Oscar for this and then that scrawny bitch will feel like a real jerk. Oh my gosh this is so exciting I have to pee.

    If she's going to do this blonde, sort-of attractive Republican chick thing, she could learn a thing or two from Ainsley Hayes, Associate Counsel to President Bartlett of The West Wing. Emily Proctor was probably the second-worst character in CSI Miami (up against some pretty fucking stiff competition) but I loved her in WW...
