I wonder how many books "Unfit for Command" would of sold if NBC would of gave John O'Neill 3 days!
Paul Begala has been plugging Chain of Command on Crossfire, multiple times on each show, for the last few days. I would think CNN would see that as inappropriate conduct and fire him, but maybe they don't see anything wrong with it.
Tabloid, sensational books always sell, like the National Enquirer..."most widely-read in nation", or so they claim.
Not to worry. The book has gotten it's message across. Look at Kerry's favorable rating in the new thread. 36!
with kudos to cowboyway for the idea.
Look at the Bright-Side. A bunch of left-wing, Soap-Oprah-watching, National-Enquirer-reading people are spending their cash on these two books and they are not going to change their minds anyway. It's just that much 'less' cash to send to the DNC.
Please!!!!!!!! Neither of these books are going anywhere. All the vermin of the Democrat Party are rushing out to buy these books. Just think of all the trash the scum have written in the last year, and none of it has hurt GW Bush. Give these books a couple of weeks and they will be in the reminder bin, alongside Bill Clinton's tome. Not to worry!!!
Just for fun I checked the Los Angeles Public Library's holdings. They have ONE copy of Unfit for Command (to share throughout their 10,000,000 person patron area) and 243 copies of My Life. I don't know how many copies of Kitty's book they'll order, but they've already ordered copies of the CD and audiobook. Nope - no bias there.
As I indicated last evening on the DOSE, we should counter this predictable positioning for the KK book by purchasing the following book:
"A Matter of Character: inside the White House of George W Bush"
[This book is already a national best seller and has risen as high as #2 at Amazon!! Last evening, it was positioned in the 300s (at Amazon), today it is in the 70s -- let's move it back up the charts!!!!]

Hirsch has been on TV lately.
You need to understand all that means is maybe he sold 500 books or 600 books at best. The Amazon ranks are nothing to brag about. Anyone can go from #9 to #75 in a day.
Not that this is a nationwide trend, but I was at Borders (Madison East) a couple of hours ago and Kitty Litter's book was front and center - and not a single copy had been sold and one of the guys who was helping me said no one's even looked at the display yet today.
They had a half dozen copies of Unfit for Command about five feet away; the cashier told me it had been selling pretty steadily.
Yay, in Madison, the Liberal Mecca of Treehuggers!
Why would anyone want to buy a book written by this woman; much less read it?
