Thanks, Steffany. Just to clarify: I didn't intend to question her feminism with that reference to Manolos. I was actually trying to do the opposite: to preempt criticism of her by *others* who might do that, but I probably could have said so more directly.

Overall, I suspect Coulter could have been better served by the editors of her book. It's the editors' job to make the final call on issues like a disclaimer. The editors could also have required her to clarify some issues that led to my questions.

For example, publishing is (as she rightly notes) a "boozy" profession. But even there, there are limits, and I've seen people get fired for drinking problems, so it was natural for me to question whether they might have been involved.

And the bigwig she calls "Arthur Adler" was replaced by a woman (or at least had his duties taken over by one for a while), which makes you wonder: Why didn't Coulter get the nod? You can't blame sexism there, b/c Amazon gave the job to a woman. There were just too many unanswered questions in this book for me, but I can see your point that those might not bother others as much as they did me.
