I dont know if you have read all the Al Franken books, I have. Not to boast but the writer Tom Stoppard used to be my neighbour when I lived in Chelsea Bridge Wharf. His place was above mine and the penthouse worth millions, mine was a small over priced flat. While reading "Why Not Me?" the fictional book by Al Franken I was laughing so hard that he came down to see if I was alright!
Anyway in one of his books Al Franken and his assistant try to find a lie in Ann Coulter new book before Al Frankens wife can put her make up on to go out for dinner. I am going through Ann's archive and finding errors, lies or distortions of the truth. Here is an example:
Max Cleland was a war hero who lost his limbs as a result of Viet Cong grenades, giving him the stature to gleefully taunt George Bush and Dick Cheney. "Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War?" Cleland responded to Cheney. "If you had gone to Vietnam like the rest of us, maybe you would have learned something about war."
Then we learned Cleland was a victim only of his own clumsiness and had dropped the grenade on himself in Vietnam after stopping for a beer.

The reality is that the guy had helped build a radio mast and decided to hang around and have a few beers with the guys after a hard days work. One of the guys was new and didnt realise that the hand grenades he had on his jacket had dodgy pins. The guy he was with dropped one and the pin fell out blowing Max Cleland up. This was before they had even drunk anything.
Anyone up for finding and building up a list of Ann's anti liberal lies?
I would offer $10 per lie found but I dont have $10m to spare!
