    What else should we expect?

    By having Coulter as one of their authors, Crown and Random House have already shown us that character, honesty, and ethics are of no concern of theirs. So we should not be shocked that they find just a little plagerism acceptable. Maybe they will also find just a little lawsuit filed by those they have plagerized to be acceptable as well.

    And by their standards if a mugger only takes, say, $25.00 it's not really a mugging. It's accepting a donation.
