Omigod..this is, like, such a cool book, and I am, like, so loving it....

Mona Charen has a new book out, Useful Idiots (Regnery Press....duh) and townhall.com (portal to all that is obtuse and rightwing, and yes I know that's redundant) needed someone to review it. Someone who could get the masses to rise up and purchase this landmark, groundbreaking, couldn't-put-it-down, page-turner. A big name. A glittering star in the conservative firmament.

So they let an intern do it:

Anna Marie Gould, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, served as a 2002 summer intern for The Heritage Foundation and Townhall.com.

But Anna Marie had the one thing that gave her the edge over the likes of such Conservative glitterati such as David Limbaugh or Ben Shapiro. She has a thesaurus. Hence, supple prose such as this:

If we accepted liberals' tendentious arguments on communism and its worldwide consequences, we would have to conclude that the United States played a pivotal role in making other countries miserable. Fortunately, liberal propaganda, which often provides fictitious accounts of American history, is proven wrong time and again by historical reality. Syndicated columnist Mona Charen assiduously attacks those who have deliberately maligned our country in her latest tome, Useful Idiots: How Liberals got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First.

She had me from the first use of "tendentious".

I think I'm in love.
