What did the Roman (Catholics's) ever do for us?

Profound and insightful

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2007
Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book

I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. I preview these books along ...
