Ann Coulter said that she will probably stop writing books because of Obama's Taxes on Rich
In a BookTV interview postponed from February and airing last weekend, author Ann Coulter said that she will probably stop writing books, citing increasing taxes on the rich by the Obama administration.

Reading between the lines, and in light of greatly diminished book sales for Coulter over recent years, one can conclude two things. First, Coulter’s essays will continue unabated even as her involvement in politically-oriented projects (e.g., media campaigns, DVDs, etc.) increases. After all, her last book, Guilty, was published three months late – and still rushed to press for a pre-inaugural release – because of Coulter’s involvement in a series of video projects in 2008.

The second thing which can be gleaned from Coulter’s surprise announcement is that writing and publishing another book has become both a daunting and a dangerous task for her.

Daunting? Writing all new material – different from her syndicated column – has proven a challenge for Coulter. Slander (2002) and Treason (2003) drew heavily from previously published materials. How to Talk to a Liberal (2004) was a collection. Godless (2006) was released over 2 ½ years after Treason. If Democrats Had Any Brains (2007) was another collection. Guilty (2009) was released over 2 ½ years after Godless. Presumably any future book of original writing would be released in 2011, at the earliest.

9. When I wrote music reviews...
I used to use the terms "original" and "interesting" whenever I couldn't legitimately praise a band;)

44. Ah yes, good and original
Except that what's good isn't original, and what's original isn't good.

49. That would be my guess.
Maybe her publisher realized that being a pimp isn't something to be proud of.

34. she wrote books?
I though it was the same juvenile teenage slam book reissues under a different title.

Puleeze! She is the biggest attention whore of our time. She couldn't stand not being paraded around the 'librul media' she pretends to despise to promote her latest diatribe.
