Why do the TV and Cable Newsrooms
hide Hanoi Kerry's past?

I'm being told by a reliable source that Unfit for Command may debut as number one one the NYT bestseller list. However, I do have a few questions...
1) In what week will it debut?
2) Will the NYT now have to review the book?
3) Will this affect the ability of the media to ignore it?
4) If it has been #1 on amazon, BN, etc. for quite some time, why hasn't it already hit the list?
You'll have to excuse my ignorance here, but I'm not really familiar with book list procedures at the NYT.
P.S. Please don't FReepmail me about my source - it shall remain anonymous.
That is SUPERB!
I resisted that becasue I envisioned them ordering ONE copy which I would have to pick up at the Service Desk, which would require me to walk past that mountain of "My Lies" yet again without the satisfaction of picking a good conserative book off the best-seller shelf.
I thought about ordering on-line, but why should I pay shipping? I'll go back Monday, maybe the manager can tell me when they will have copies of this "best seller" on the shelf.
1) I think it would debut on next weekend's list.
2) No.
3) No.
4) It's only been out a week or so, I think, and the online store rankings are based on presales and orders on the site. I think they are updated hourly.
Call your local bookstore and telll them that you're the chairman of the local Democrat Central Committee and you'd like 50 books.
Yes,though I wish,with all my heart,that I was wrong.
Amazing. SBVs may single-handedly derail Kerry.
It only takes one idiot to raze a village!
Jeez, glad I only had water in my mouth!!
That is the best line ever...
While you browse amazon -- remember to let them know which reviews were 'helpful to you'... I am sure it increases the 'karma' of the reviewer... Also -- they have a link to some hack job book Deserter? as one the libs are recommending you read instead of UFC... Go ahead, check the book out and mark down the reviews that 'are not helpful'. Amazon is big into data mining, if enough people tell them that the reviews are not helpful, and don't buy the book I am sure those reviews will go away... Just be careful not to torpedo reasonable people's reviews...
How much do you have to suck to sell less books than Al Snore? Sheesh!
Hannity reported this past week that General Tommy Franks' book was going to debut as #1 on the NY Times Bestseller list. Could your source have them confused?
I asked why this problem didn't occur for Clinton's book. No one suggested setting aside a book for me when it does arrive.
I then went to the Barnes and Noble and asked for the book. I was informed that they had it in the back room, but could not sell it because Kerry had filed suit to stop them from selling it. At that point, I suggested that maybe they might want to read the first amendment.
Anyway it is obvious that this book will be nearly impossible to buy in this area as there aren't any other book store. I will of course order from Amazon, but I think this book store censorship needs to be addressed.
This is not the first book that I have encountered problems with in this area. It should also be noted that Barnes and Noble had multiple displays of all of the Bush bashing books.
Very, VERY funny and a great idea. Think I'll do it tomorrow to amuse myself!
IF this were so, we would have likely heard about it by now on from the Swift Boat Vets themselves.
That being said, I hope I'm wrong and it does show up. I'd love to see some of Kerry's lies get some mainline, partisan media attention.
Same here... together with this one:
I'm sure Howard Stern's next book won't have that problem though. He's officially on the team now.
An offering that just happens to be the most controversial book in America at present and the most threatening to the democratic party.
Probably just a koinkadink. < /sarcasm >
