Ann Coulter's footnotes

Via Ed Brayton, Ann Coulter has been caught with footnotes that don't say what she says they say. I noticed this back when I bought her book Slander:
Page 134: Even during the media's nightly flogging of Iran-Contra, Reagan's approval ratings fell only 5 pecentage points, from 80 percent to 75 percent.

Page 229 (the footnote): Reagan's approval rating fell from 63 percent to 47 percent. But Reagan's personal popularity fell only from 80 percent to 75 percent.
I thought it was an isolated instance. Now it's just more evidence that Coulter may not be as crazy as she seems--just a lying harpy in it for the money.
