Anti-Kerry book selling swiftly in D.C. area By Tim Lemke THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published August 25, 2004

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new book questioning the service of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry as a boat captain in the Vietnam War is a swift seller. Bookstores in the Washington area report that demand for "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Captains Speak Out Against John Kerry" has been so strong that they are sold out of the book or are scrambling to order new shipments to keep copies on shelves. "I can tell you it's selling very briskly and usually sells out as soon as we receive it," said Julie Wiggins, manager of the Borders Books & Music store in White Flint mall in North Bethesda. Ms. Wiggins said she could not release exact sales figures, but said the store has received at least three shipments of the book since its Aug. 11 release. "Unfit for Command" is the top seller on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com and is ranked third among nonfiction books this week on the New York Times' best-seller list.

No recall in John Kerry's future. The cats is out of the bag, and the truth will set us free.

Recommendation...

If you can't get the book, then borrow from a friend when they're done reading it.

Then donate the purchase price in straight cash to SwiftVets.com.

And pass the book to someone else.

The Vets will get all the cash rather than just some of it. Also, if made public, this process will encourage the Printers to rush copies so this won't cut into their profits.

Soooooo, government types and politicians ARE reading this book. Doubt the population in "the District" is enchanted with it, but that's just fine. Interesting. Very interesting, indeed.

I still haven't been able to find a copy, despite extensive efforts.

I'm trying again today, when Borders says they're likely to receive a shipment.

I would expect anything political to sell swiftly in DC, particularly during a campaign... life inside and around the beltway is a completely different world.

dumb question here. Is the large SwiftBoat a peeloff/removable window sticker? I would love to have one but want to be able to take it off as needed.

Amen to that! Ketchup-man is stuck in the 70's. I don't think he realizes that we-the-people get our news from other sources now, and not just the alphabet networks. We are not buying what you are selling, Effin!! Thank God for Free Republic!!

This is still growing, still gaining speed. And to think, Kerry could have stopped it two weeks ago by just agreeing with the President in calling for a stop from all 527's advertising....LMAO!

John Kerry's campaign for President is becoming even more inept than Bush Seniors seriously flawed 92 campaign.

Now thats coming full circle, folks.
