The American Prospect Analyzes the Stomach Contents of the Beast

The American Prospect Weblog (TAPPED) has a theory about the world of conservative publishing:

It goes something like this: People like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly don't actually write their books. Instead, deep in the bowels of Regnery Publishing, some young hotshot built a machine that writes the books for them. There's one set of buttons that allows you to pick one or more of the various topics your book will cover -- the media, lawyers, Hollywood, China, academia, Vince Foster, the homosexual agenda, etc. There's a two-position lever that dictates overall thrust: Does this book primarily attack liberals in general or does it primarily attack Bill Clinton? There's a built-in program that automatically scans Nexis for quotes and examples, rips them out of context and paraphrases them beyond recognition. There's a dial for level of outrage. (Presumably, Coulter's goes to 11.) Then you flip a switch, and thousands of miniaturized, coked-up monkeys begin typing. Six months later, out comes a draft. All you have to do is come up with a title and put your name on the cover -- and presto! Another bestseller for outraged conservatives is born.

Well, I can't spot any holes in that theory.
