Anyone know this RW book?
My fundie stepsister's been reading this book, "Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got It Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First,"
by Mona Charen. Looks to me like typical RW schlock, but does anyone know anything about this book or the author? I could really use some ammo here if we somehow get into a political argument. Anybody got any?

1. She was a speech writer for Nancy Reagan
and John Kemp. Very conservative.

2. I've seen it and heard of it
But know nothing about it.

Don't really care to.

3. Mona Charen's a B-list right wing Harpy
And Nancy Reagan's former speech writer.

6. She used to have Kate O'Beirne's spot on Capitol Gang --
she she wrote for the Moonie Times. She's an old, boring RW hack -- nasty like Coulter.

7. Yeah, I noticed in Salinen's link that she cited UPI
And whines about liberal bias to boot.
