SwiftVets unleashed all torpedos against USS Kerry inflicting severe damage. Inspite of firing 4 weeks worth of ordinance, battlecruiser Kerry missed the Swifties and is now limping to it's final showdown with Dreadnought Bush.
Nice shooting Swifties!

Some people who hate your guts when you're alive take a lot of joy in writing your obituary...

Kitty Kelley's book is listed as NONfiction?? Sheesh, what a farce.

[AmericanMade1776]

Hardly Limping to it's final showdown, UNFIT TO COMMAND is still on the best sellers list and is at number 2.

You are new here , aren't you?

[AmericanMade1776]

On the bestseller list for SIX weeks, and on the NY Times Bestseller list..what a coup.

Well as soon as BN opens, I'll be there to buy another copy of "Unfit For Command". The people that put Kelly's book #1 are the same people that keep trash novels published.

Swift Boat engagement winding down, drops to no.2 on NYT best sellers list

If a non-biased person at the NYT wrote headlines:

AFTER TWO MONTHS, SWIFT BOAT BOOK SALES STILL STRONG

It might stay #1 if we could find it in book stores.

Freepers, please take note that Kitty Kelley's book is flushing down the toilet as we speak. It is now thiry something on Amazon.com. Her fifteen minutes of fame are long gone!!!!

I would put money on the fact that the DNC bought a few thousand. They give crap like that out. I believe the DNC has done that in the past, but I forget which book...maybe Stewart Smaley. I am going to have to look into it.

As you know, President Bush has signed Standard Form 180 authorizing release of his military records. You are also aware that John Forbes Kerry has not. Since Senator Kerry has constantly told us what war a hero he is, I think he should do so! I have attached SF 180 and the address to Kerry headquarters, national and local. Please take the time to mail a copy to the Jr. Senator. I have also passed this along to several web sites. dirtykerry.com has taken this a step further by starting an online petition. Please take a moment to go online and sign the petition. I feel that if we can get enough people to do so, it will make a point! The address is listed at the top of this e-mail.

This book had a relatively limited audience in the first place--Those of us who know him for what he is would read it and the undecideds who want to know would read it, as well--

And then there's the ABB crowd who don't want to know anything that might question the man who is the alternative and the far lefties who just plain don't care--And finally, those who just aren't interested--

Frankly, while pleased, I'm rather surprised that it stayed No. 1 as long as it did under the circumstances--Be that as it may, however, the Swiftees launched yet another new TV ad today--Gotta love those guys!--C
