Re: The Lost Art of Reading

This seems like a fitting followup to Chris’s post .  From the pen of Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain:

I don’t know exactly what about me threatens them so much, other than that people are listening to me. Malkin has the No. 1 book on The New York Times bestseller hardcover nonfiction list, but I have nearly twice as many Twitter followers as she does . And trust me, Twitter is more of an indication of where young people are than books published by the hyper-conservative publisher Regnery—which will be bringing you Carrie Prejean’s new book and published one of Ann Coulter’s.

It’s depressing that someone can actually think this, let alone write it.  Even more depressing is the fact that the observation about young people is probably correct.
