The best thing anyone can do for Ann Coulter is give her attention, including even — or maybe especially even — negative attention. So it is with some reluctance that that we publish this story, but it is irresistible:

Coulter’s latest book, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America, is something of a misfire by Coulterian standards. Of course, what constitutes a disappointment for Coulter would be a mega-hit for most authors; in its two months on sale, Guilty has sold 100,500 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan (a number that only reflects around 70 percent of actual sales).

Right-wing groups usually pump up book sales of screed-writers like Coulter by buying thousands of copies in lots and the distributing them as freebies to donors. This paltry showing could be a sign that these groups are experiencing budget shortfalls in the wake of the Republican rout in Washington last year.
