"It’s faster than a checkbook, more powerful than a Democratic demagogue, able to lay waste to a liar Kerry with the single click of a mouse. It's a little bird of truth, it's plain to see Kerry's unfit... it's... it's...SuperFReep!

You know, we really wouldn't suspect a conspiracy to keep these off of the shelves if that wasn't exactly the tactic that John Kerry tried to use.

Not that I ever suspected that the corporate offices for these bookstores would involve themselves in politics. I think the fault lies with their store managers and employees.

[coloradan]

Funny how Hillary!'s book sales were national top-story news, but the fact major bookstores can't keep the shelves stocked with this one isn't mentioned in the front-page national headlines.

I went into a Books a Million on Sunday, and they said they would have them in on Thursday. :-)

> ... say angry customers are accusing them of
> political bias as the retailers ...

And the customers wouldn't do this if the stores took the
simple step of placing copies of the book cover at
expected locations with a small sign saying:
- out of stock, but on-order
- expected arrival ...
- get on our list for priority treatment

But they don't do this, do they.
Can't offend their lib customers, I suppose.
Take the hint.

Its interesting. While Kerry ads still air, Kerry himself seems to be keeping a low profile lately.

I like it! :)

In the mean time there is no shortage of pat buchanan's latest book attacking President Bush. His book was released on Friday and had already been slashed in price by 20% by it's third day of sales on Amazon.com. It would appear buchanan's new book is tanked even faster then his last campaign.

[Publius6961]

A first printing of only 85,000 explains a lot.

I was lucky, I guess. I ordered mine last thursday from Amazon.com and received it Saturday.

They have a bad track record on non-leftie books. So it is hard to beleive any of this crap even if true.

[facedown]

A co-author of the book, John O'Neill, is a member of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which has ran a series of commercials claiming Kerry distorted his past.

AP must be using third grade children for stringers.

I heard the caller to Sean's show the other day. I live near the Borders she referred to and called them up confronting them on her accusation.

They claim they have not banned it from their store. The manager asked me if I wanted to make a special order for it. I told them no, but I would be in sometime next week and would hope that they would have the book on display like any of their other books

The first person I spoke to sounded very upset when I told them their store was mentioned specifically on syndicated radio.

Several of Kerry's fellow servicemen have attacked "Unfit for Command" as inaccurate and politically motivated, and a Kerry campaign spokesman, Chad Clanton, said Tuesday the book had "blatantly false accusations that have been disproved by Navy records."

Then let's put the whole thing to bed...Mr Kerry, sign the Form 180 and release all your military and medical records

[jackbill]

Regnery seems to have screwed up Big Time on this one, by vastly underestimating the demand. They had better keep their presses running night and day.

[Tallguy]

According to Kerry's medical records from his naval service, he still has shrapnel in his thigh from a war injury.

Are we supposed to take his word on this, or should he just produce an X-Ray with his medical records? With all the windsurfing, biking & other yuppie sports, I'd say that that "shrapnel" is definitely a non-factor.

[Tacis]

What "ani-Kerry" book? It is a book that tells the truth about a chapter in Nam. What business does AP have in characterizing the intent of a book for us? I understand that many AP folks are working for the CIA and Mossad in the middle-east and this gives them cover, but at least, let's pretent to have some objectivity. What was that hilarious phrase the Oliphant used the other night, "meet minimal journalistic integrity standards," yeah that was it. Funniest thing I've heard in years!!

[BobS]

"According to Kerry's medical records from his naval service, he still has shrapnel in his thigh from a war injury."

And rice still in his ass from playing with high explosives. Would his medical records show he was stoned while doing that?

[fortunecookie]

I had a chance to stop in a B&N today. Before I could inquire, the man ahead of me asked about "Unfit for Command". He was given the company line, nervously stammered out by a sheepish clerk who seemed to change his tone midway through. The clerk said something about the CEO issuing a statement that demand had far outpaced supply and the publisher simply wasn't printing enough copies fast enough and no, he didn't know when or if more copies would be coming. The customer walked off in a huff, muttering something like 'It figures', and the clerk blushed. Another lady, off to the side stacking shelves, commented something to the clerk to the effect that it was trash and she hoped they never stocked anymore copies. She blushed and darted away when she saw me listening as I waited in line.

Naturally, there were copies aplenty of Clinton's book, Moore's books, and a wall of several other books trashing Bush. All prominently displayed near the entrance to the store, some in a special section called 'New Releases'. We did find, in the appropriate sections further back, but not in the 'New Releases', copies of books by Peggy Noonan, Ben Stein, Michelle Malkin and Laura Ingraham. At least 3 of these were new or recent releases, certainly as new as Clinton's or Moore's, but apparently undeserving of prominent display.

Just paid top price at AMAZON to not have to wait 5-7 weeks for delivery

[hershey]

Gee, and I thought the MSM was saying the whole Vietnam thing was 'old'...no wait, that was TerAYsa who said that.
