Poor Ann.

Live rat swallower Ann Coulter strikes back at those who would malign her book sales number with, uh, uncomfortable facts.

"Bookstores hide conservative books, so outfits like Premier create 'alternative bookstores' at places like Six Flags Great Adventure-and The New York Times bills 1,000 individual Americans buying my book as a 'bulk sale,'" she said. (Quote via Media Whores Online.)

Duuuh? I'm not sure which stores she's going into - maybe the New Canaan bookstore was bought by an outlandish gay couple and now only features great tales of sodomy - but she is, again, full of crap. I actually pay attention to things like this and her steaming pile thinly disguised as a "book" for "reading" is always prominently displayed. Quite prominently, considering it's so chock full-o-lies and it sucks so badly and she's a grotesque alien that has skinned some poor New Canaan debutant and been wearing her around like Bush in a flight suit lo these 41 years.

I think what might be happening is progressive book shoppers are putting Sid Blumenthal's book in front of hers.

I know that's what I do.
