For everyone who has been waiting for the response to Bernard Goldberg’s awful 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, Nationbooks has the answer–101 People Who Are Really Screwing America by Jack Huberman of The Bush-Haters Handbook fame. In this witty book, Huberman lays out in well-researched detail the interlocking relationships within the vast rightwing agenda to undermine our democratic institutions for profit and prophesy.

For example, there is Regnery Publishing, whose authors include Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, Phyllis Schlafly, Wayne LaPierre, G. Gordon Liddy, and whose founder William Regnery (#71) has started a match-making service for “heterosexual whites of Christian cultural heritage.” And don’t forget the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (#54), who published The Washington Times and started lobbying Republican politicians heavily after his organization ran afoul of the IRS. Since then he hasn’t had as many legal problems. Of course, you would expect Halliburton and its CEO, David Lesar, (#72) to make the list, but did you know that Dick Cheney’s old company was helping the Iranians develop their natural gas fields in 2005–two years after the Axis of Evil speech?

It is these and so many other details in Huberman’s book that remind us who we are fighting and why.
