p> WRONG COOGLER br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell's Jon Coogler Stewart : /p>

I write with respect to this year's J. Gordon Coogler Award for the Worst Book of the Year. Although I can appreciate the merits of your ultimate selection, I find it difficult to accept that anyone but Michael Moore could win the award in any year in which Michael Moore has been published. According to Amazon.com, Will They Ever Trust Us Again, the aforementioned's latest, was published in October, 2004 -- a month after, and thus more recently, than the Jon Stewart volume.

Great article, as usual. I read conservatives at NRO think Howard Dean will be more of the same 2004 candidate Dean as DNC chairman. Having just reread your article on Dean from early January, I am looking forward to your thoughts about this subject. If Dean is a closet Clintonista, your position that he is not as hard left as he seems rings true. The Clintons certainly won't run as hard left as the 2004 Democrats did. I emailed your article to the NRO editors in response to their article from yesterday detailing how lousy Dean will be as DNC chairman, and suggested they should interview you in light of your personal knowledge of the man. Not trying to start any squabbles (seriously), but I think that would be an interesting Q & A.

p>Anyway, look forward to your thoughts on this in future articles. br> -- Lee Wheeler
