kinda like what a lot of liberals do, e.g. Hitlery's book: My LI(F)E.

they had some union leaders buy some thousands of copies (using the members dues money of course) and the cases of books sits in some warehouse for years.

You're right. No doubt lots of Union pension fund money is being laundered to Hollyweird to pay for making this abortion of a movie look like a hit.

Give it to the fall and when it comes out on DVD it'll be a "hit" again and will be shown in high schools (dare I add, junior high scools) all across America.

I can back you up on this one, because I'm in the book buying/selling business.

I've NEVER seen the resale value of a book drop as quickly as did both Bill & Hillary's "re-writing of history" flops.

I wouldn't doubt that box office receipts are manipulated in the same manner that book sales can be.

I belonged to the IAM-AW for 15 years (one of very few women in my local). Most of the guys I worked with wouldn't be caught dead going to see "Brokeback Mountain", no matter how much the Union leadership would try to encourage them.

Also, most of the rank and file in my local were good solid conservatives.

Actually, My Li(f)e was Clintoon's book. Living HIStory* was her royal THIGHNESSES.

*HIStory as in His Story as in cleaning up from bimbo erruptions, faking suicides for murdered aides who knew too much, and many a night with the "girls", Rosie O'Donut, Elaine DeGenerate, etc.
