Hmmm...
If you were a noted top conservative columnist but fearful you might not get enough buzz about your new release because the Hamas/Israel war, Burris, Obama, Blagojevich, etc. what better way to re-emerge as a media power than lighting into a
national television network when you get canceled but Perez Hilton gets to booked?
Ann Coulter IS the best selling conservative author in print. Her books are fact-checked to the tiniest detail. And the ideas she ultimately puts across are some of the most important in the debate over ideas today.
Perez Hilton on the other hand is widely known as the lowliest of internet sleaze.
All the planets aligned... Coulter got canned, Perez got booked.
Here's the problem, it was Coulter herself, and her buddy (long known to be a close friend of Coulter) Matt Drudge that made the connection between NBC canceling one and booking the other.
Only problem is... there's no proof.
Canceling Ann, as Drudge explains from unnamed sources because of Coulter's content in the book very well could be playing a big part of the picture here. But not favoritism for "The Queen of Hollywood."
It's a novel talking point to generate more controversy, and that's certainly how Ann sells books. But I'm just not convinced there's any there, there.
For my money - I'd prefer both of them to be canned and someone stick a camera on President-Elect Obama until he offers an idea on Israel...
Now THAT would be must-see TV.
