In her review of Dinesh D’Souza’s “The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11,” Kakutani says:

“With this book, Dinesh D’Souza…has officially become the Ann Coulter of the think tank set. His new book…is filled with willfully incendiary — and preposterous — assertions…[T]his embarrassing volume is an out-and-out partisan screed made up of illogical arguments, distorted and cherry-picked information, ridiculous generalizations and nutty asides. It’s a nasty stewpot of intellectually untenable premises and irresponsible speculation that frequently reads like a “Saturday Night Live” parody of the crackpot right. It gives conservatism a bad name while viciously throwing oil on the partisan fires already burning in red state, blue state America.”
