Very profound title - half of which is straight from Fox News.
Why would you decide to write about something when the first thing you need to do is hire 20 some harvard liberal professors to accomplish it. And someone mentioned something about Coulter being and idealogue.

He had a staff of Havard students as research assistants. He acknowledges every one of them and their specific accomplishments insofar as the book is concerned. A good chunk of writers have research assistants.

I would love to see Franken go up against Coulter, Limbaugh, or Hannity. I've heard him on TV, and the previous poster was right - all he could muster was essentially "Uhhh, Uhhh - big uhhh, big uhhh, fat liarheads" - much to the delight of the liberal audience. He is a political idiot. It's funny to see liberals delight at him pointing out that Coulter referred to "endnotes" as "footnotes" (which i'm sure some Harvard English teacher had to point out to him).

Franken handled O'Reilly just fine, I think he could take the rest in the same stride. As for Coulter's endnote/footnote thing, if you're familiar with footnotes, they're at the bottom of a page, thus making it easy to read them as you come across the notation. Endnotes are stuffed together in the back of the book. It's not a semantic difference. It's the same as having the fine print in an ad legible and not. I hope that distinction isn't too unclear.
