L.A. screenwriter Andrew Leigh complains at National Review Online that the Times book festival had too many left-identified books on sale and writers on panels, and not enough right-identified panelists (he says four, Steve Wasserman of the LAT Book Review says 15). Only late in the piece does Leigh concede the big name righties who were invited but declined to come: Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, William Kristol, Fred Barnes, Sean Hannity, Richard Brookhiser, David Frum, Mona Charen, Christopher Caldwell, Walter Russell Mead, Bernard Goldberg, Rush Limbaugh, and William F. Buckley Jr.
