Right-Wing Suck Up Watch

C-SPAN2's Book TV had its annual Fall Book Preview this weekend, which I missed because the cable's still out. The program's guests included some yutz from the Claremont Review touting the latest offerings from Charles Murray and John R. Lott, Jr., contradicting the channel's claim that it only features non-fiction.

But, I'm crestfallen that I missed the basic cable debut of The Corner's Kathryn Jean Lopez, who also appeared on the program. The highly-literate K.Lo. illustrates how she manages to keep her job with her reading suggestions:

Kathryn Jean Lopez (National Review Online):

�Legacy,� Richard Lowry (Regnery)
�Bush vs. the Beltway,� Laurie Mylroie (ReganBooks/HarperCollins)
"The National Review Treasury of Classic Children's Literature" (Selected by William F. Buckley Jr.)

"Classic Children's Literature" in the sense of one hundred-year-old magazine stories now in the public domain. And highly moral as well. Don't expect to find "Christopher Has Been Screwing Two Mommies" in this anthology.

If anyone caught the program, please feel free to fill in the details.
