Who Reads This Junk?
I wondered who might actually buy Dinesh D'Souza's new book, which looks to be a crassly commercial attempt to pander to the worst instincts of conservative culture warriors. Then I got Lou Sheldon's latest mass email, plugging the book, with three links to Amazon and copy that looks to be straight off the jacket. So if you're wondering who out there finds the Islamist response to American "decadence" reasonable, Lou Sheldon is your man. (I suspect, though cannot prove, that D'Souza is mostly in it for the money.) I wonder what he thinks of the 1949 church dance that so shocked Sayyid Qutb.
UPDATE: Greetings Andrew Sullivan readers. I have another D'Souza-related post at the top of the main page.
UPDATE2: Here's a link to a more-restrained plug on the TVC website.
