Another List Book? Heck Why Not.
Like the previous reviewer I heard about this book on the Hannity show and ran over to the book store to buy it. While I have yet to fully absorb the text it appears that Bernard Goldberg has delivered a book that may not have all the impact of his fine offering "Bias" but will certainly become a best seller. We Americans love lists so why not publish a list of malfeasants, at least according to conservative leaning libertarian type Bernard Goldberg. Mostly a fair list though no conservatives are found in the top ten. Some names will be easily recognizable, others only by the hard core news hounds. Heavily weighted by leftists and rightly so (pun intended). The top 10 will surprise you; most readers will not be familiar with all 10. Michael Moore ranks at the top, with the second spot going to Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., New York Times publisher and chairman of The Boston Globe's parent company, Ted Kennedy, the senior senator from Massachusetts, ranks No. 3 and Margaret Marshall, chief justice of the state's Supreme Judicial Court, ranks No. 7. Others on the list include MIT professor of linguistics Noam Chomsky, at No. 11; former Vermont governor Howard Dean, at No. 20; and former state attorney general Scott Harshbarger, who formerly ran Common Cause and is now a partner at a Boston law firm, at No. 40. Fun book I plan to use to spark some conversation around the dinner table at the next family gathering.
