The Marketing of Something

Yes, I made up the blurbs for The Marketing of Evil that were attributed to Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity -- however, I expect that Sean will come up with comments even more wingnutty next week, when he talks to the author on his radio and TV programs.  Ben probably won't ever comment on the work, since Kupelian's the competition.  Ann presumably assumed the book was a how-to guide, and since she already knows how to market evil very effectively, she threw her advance copy at a kid who was looking at her funny.

Anyway, Bill S. was on to me right from the first, and for that, he wins one point towards this, um, pin-up calendar described by John McCaslin:

EYE CANDY

While 2006 is still months away, we were allowed first peek at next year's Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute pin-up calendar, which honors "great American conservative women" for once.

Miss January honors, rightly so, go to the late Mrs. Luce, an accomplished foreign and domestic journalist, magazine editor, playwright, congresswoman from Connecticut and ambassador to Italy.

Miss America 2003 Erika Harold is crowned Miss February; blond TV pundit Kellyanne Conway, president and CEO of the Polling Company and WomanTrend, is Miss March; Miss April is Marji Ross of Regnery Publishing in Washington; Becky Norton Dunlop, vice president at the Heritage Foundation, is Miss May; and Suzanne Fields, the nationally syndicated op-ed columnist for The Washington Times, carries us into summer as Miss June.

Everybody's favorite gun-rights advocate, Shemane Nugent, wife of rock legend Ted Nugent, is Miss July; Miss August is New York ladies' magazine magnate Myrna Blyth; for Miss September, we find syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin; Miss October honors go to Virginia Republican Party Chairman Kate Obenshain Griffin; popular MSNBC host Monica Crowley makes an attractive Miss November; and last but never least, Miss December is Ann Coulter, who requires no introduction.

Notice how McCaslin says that Monica is "attractive," while Ann "requires no introduction."  'Nuff said.

Anyway, here's a preview of the Girls of Conservativism:

Miss August (on the right ... I mean, left)

And here's Miss March

We won't ruin your day by posting photos of Ann.

As you may recall, last year the group gave copies of the calendar to the troops in Iraq. No wonder recruitment goals can't be met this year.
