Stuck in the 50's
I saw this in our local bookstore, thought the cover was mildly amusing, and was going to get it as a funny gift for a female Democrat friend of mine hehe. But then I read through it some, and changed my mind. The scholarship of this book is minimal. Kate makes numerous statements about what people think, and presents *no* supporting quotes as proof. How exactly she is so tuned in to the thoughts of people is unclear, since their recorded statements in the media bear little in common with Kate's presentation. The book is filled with misrepresentations of facts, and out right lies. Though at least she has a lot in common with the Bush Administration on this one. Her grasp of Statistics is non-existent. So her whole chapter on income disparity is moot. (You can't just pick a few random occupations and average the salaries together!) Kate is apparently stuck in the 1950s, in an I Love Lucy rerun, and wants the rest of the USA stuck in there with her. The times have changed Kate, get over it! But then perhaps this wasn't meant as a serious book, maybe it's just a right wing torpedo attack on a possible Hillary presidential run? Avoid it either way folks.
