Hate sells books

Ann Coulter was in her usual cheesecake skimpy black dress (does she OWN anything else to wear?) when she appeared on Chris Matthews's program yesterday, and when Elizabeth Edwards called into the show and kicked Coulter's skinny ass for the hatemonger she is. Oh, sorry. That was just a teensy bit vituperative, wasn't it?Coulter has nailed the way to really sell books. She uses the worst kinds of slogans and namecalling (John Edwards is a faggot, the Jersey Girls are enjoying their husbands' deaths, and all liberals are godless--like she would know) but apparently this sort of mudslinging really sells books. Just as an example, and offered with a big self-deprecating smile:

Amazon.com's numbers:

Coulter, GODLESS, THE CHURCH OF LIBERALISM: 1,610
Marley, ABSALOM'S MOTHER & OTHER STORIES: 121,178

But I couldn't say the stuff she says even to improve sales numbers. I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning.
