J. Goldberg's laughable attempt at equating the left with the 3rd Reich hasn't helped and I'm sure that whether the NYT ever gets aroubnd to reviewing it or not, your book won't have any more effect. You're a few years too late. LOL In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Roger, the word “liberal” isn’t quite the bad word it used to be.

So I was stuck with Encounter, that “pathetic right-wing publisher” that publishes such pathetic authors as Victor Davis Hanson, Thomas Sowell, Roger Kimball and Andrew McCarthy, among assorted other illiterates.

Yeah, and everyone on the front seat of the bus is Rosa Parks. Get a little perspective, jackass. “Think Solzhenitsyn, and you’ll feel a lot happier.”

But I did try. When the book was submitted, in proposal form, to the redoubtable Alice Mayhew at Simon & Schuster (who had published several of my books), she said she couldn't understand why <em>anyon</em> would depart liberalism.

Roger is not being picked on because he is a pathetic right-wing loser. He is not getting his book reviewed by the NY Times because only a pathetic right-wing publisher that despises the NY Times would publish his book. If Roger really wanted his book reviewed by the NY Times, he should have tried harder to get a real publisher.

Looking forward to reading about your H'wood escapades. And don't worry if you get into the crosshairs of the NY Times. Look how popular Salman Rushdie got after writing "Satanic Verses" ;-) Congratulations, Roger. Looking forward to reading about your H’wood escapades.

They're the same rag who convinced me that Eragon was worth reading. If I could sue for time lost due to trusting that ridiculous hagiography of Paolini, I so would. Oh, screw the NYT, Roger.
