Yep, it’s hot-flashing menopausal-on-menopausal action as my favorite lefty harpy Susan Estrich brings out a book whose cover bears a stunning similarity to the latest from Republican plagiarist Ann Coulter, 45.
Susan Estrich has, as I’ve commented many times before, an unusual gift: even her fans hate her. She could polarize a tub of Jello. She could throw a hot tub full of Care Bears into a teeming caudron of steaming gore and tearing fangs in seconds. I don’t doubt for a moment that it was the mere presence of someone reading Galleycat on Estrich‘s book on set that provoked Dr. Burke to throttle Dr. McDreamy.
Yes, at last, someone with whom I have something in common. Also, I bought her diet book. And both of us are still chubby.

These women could sort it out in a jello wresting competition.
Or not…
Estrich would snap Coulter in half; the woman’s so thin if she bumped against a table she’d chip, not bruise!
How strange. This is the third blog where I’ve seen mention of this book lately, including one on my own.
How strange–I swear I’ve seen that comment above with the miserably-formatted links before. Fix it for me while I go get a coffee?
:-D
Get me a mocha and maybe.
Both Coulter and Estrich are news on their own. Together they’re a media-creaming-its-pants catfight. Besides, they were featured on Gawker (19 out of 50 million blogs on Technorati), MediaCat, and MediaBistro.
Estrich is a very, very good writer. You’d like her. How was Powell’s?
Lovely. Many separate smaller rooms on the mid-levels between great halls of books. I suspect it would be very, very difficult not to find the book you wanted there.
Nonetheless I did mange not to find two things I went looking for. But for that there’s always eBay, I suppose.
As for “Soulless”, I find an angry, feminist-ic response to Coulter’s “Oh-how-I-hate” barbarism more than fair. Not only that, but the bits I read, standing there in the store with no-one bothering me, were cold, calculating dissections rather than slice & dice reaction.
Of course Coulter will always come off worse in any debate that actually requires facts, logic, or truth as argument. But you can certainly count on her for bombast and straw-man argument.
Dissecting Coulter isn’t neccessary. She, her “book”, and her ideas are all so cheap and thin that they’re utterly transparent. Still, it’s nice that someone took the time.
I have a friend who knows a Scottish prof who always tries to buy the most obscure book he can possibly find at Powells, which he then uses to amaze the folks back home. “Teach yourself Cherokee” was one. The best I found was a book on how to macrame yourself a full draft team harness and yurt.
Ann Coulter is wickedly funny. Just the way I love my girls. Woo Ann Coulter is 45 ??? She’s doing great. I thought she was 35 max!…She’s hot!… Susan Lacking Estrich-Jim is every mans nightmare. And she’s a wackly out there lib too! But then conservative girls are always hotter. It is in the female nature to want manly men and so they go for conservatives rather than limp wristed liberals.
If you’re into Crazy Annie, why are you pretending you like girls?
She’s 47 now. But then, Conservatives can’t count.
Actually, I think he’s a time-traveller from the past. I mean, look at that comment about conservatives being manly. While I appreciate the compliment, he’s clearly never heard of Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, or Dave Vitter.
But of course to be fair one needs to look at how many democrats have been torn from their clean & well-lit closets–Why there’s … Um … uh …
Well who, exactly?
Quite so. And I love the comment in George magazine, where they interviewed hookers at each of the national party conventions. The hookers said they never made money off Democrats, because they would have sex with one another for free, whereas the Republicans were a gold mine who preferred really kinky stuff.
