You can go here for a great excerpt from Will Bunch's excellent new book on the kooky right--including a scoop on the bizarre story of how an ex-diet scammer now uses fear to get rich through Glenn Beck's website.

Below is a video about the book starring the author. I'm sharing because I couldn't be a bigger fan of Will's work--and from my experience, if you can get both Beck and Limbaugh to attack you (as you'll see in this video), you must be doing something right (or left). Buy it!:
