Ramesh is right
By Matthew Hoy on May 2, 2006
Last Friday, National Review Senior Editor Ramesh Ponnuru went on "Hannity & Colmes" to promote his book "Party of Death." As expected, Ponnuru and Alan Colmes got into it. What is interesting, though, is that Colmes is caught in a lie about whether or not he actually read Ponnuru's book.

Ponnuru's book is currently on order from Amazon.com, so I'll review it when it arrives.

A link from The Corner. You lucky dog. 🙂
Will someone please explain to libs that a flip-flop is going back and forth. Simply changing your mind is not a flip-flop. Its a flip. :::sigh:::
This pales in comparison to when Lowry admitted not reading Al Franken's book, even though he reviewed it.
"This will require reading Franken's book, which I haven't done. Instead, I relied for my column on that time-tested journalistic shortcut: reading closely only the part about me. Franken assures me that my view of his book was unduly colored by the fact that the bits I read and skimmed were anecdotes and cartoons. The rest apparently could have been written by Nathan Glazer. Well, I'll soon find out."

obi juan,
Saying up front that you only read the part of the book relating to yourself
and critiquing it based on that as opposed to claiming you read something then admitting you didn't after saying you did is worse?
That explains a lot about you lefties.

Are you next going to claim that kofi annan is pale in comparison to alan colmes?
He wasn't up front about it. He wrote the review and then Al Franken called him on it, to which Lowry had to sheepishly admit he hasn't read the book. I canceled my subscription to NR shortly after.
Colmes read it before he didn't read it...
He first says he read the book, then he read the best parts of the book. How would he know what the best parts were if he did not read the book? Did someone read it for him, and then mark the pages he was to read?...
[...] I’ll say this for Jon Stewart, if he didn’t read the book, at least he got a better briefing on it than did Alan Colmes. [...]
