Everyone knows that they speak for the American people. Their book sales show it.

I've never heard of any of these books.

Pffftt. Snort.

[Sisku Hanne]

Bwahahahaha! I print more booklets than that for internal meetings!

[Unkosified]

This just makes my day! :)

[King Prout]

wow... I'm willing to bet "Sluggy Freelance" books sell far better than Kos', and prtobably better than the wonkette's book.

Wear hosting a Weather Spotters seminar on Saturday and had to put together 500 instruction books just for that. At 35 bucks a head I think we outsold Daily Kos in raw dollars.

Both Carville and Cox's books were released in January, while the KOS book was published March 2006. However, I suspect we won't see much improvement for this tripe.

He should rename the book 'A MILLION LITTLE FANTASIES'.

I'm sure there are a bunch of "shouldn't I get it at a big discount because I post here regularly?" posts over there.

Drudge, of course, conveniently failed to mention that the Kos book just rolled out, and Nielsen is reflecting 253 as the sum total for FIRST WEEK sales. Kinda hard to compare one week of sales vs. a title that's been out in the market for three months.

[new yorker 77]

I expect several maggot infested kooks will now purchase the book out of spite to Drudge and will proceed to each write one hundred positive reviews on Amazon.com.

Kos-kook will get a sit down on The Today Show and a week on Lardball and Countdown to No Ratings with Overhishead on MSLSD.

Too many words and not enough pictures for the target audience.

"He should rename the book 'A MILLION LITTLE FANTASIES'

How about "A Million Little Conspiracies"?

[CatoRenasci]

Schadenfreude bump!
