The error to which pigdog refers is, as you put it, Your Nightmare, "the mother of all nitpicks." In post #410, Rob mistyped the name of Capote's book "In Cold Blood" as "In True Blood."
Now, we can all expect pigdog to claim yet ANOTHER error, but, whether there is another or not, these facts remain:
"The FairTax Book" is NOT the highest non-fiction paperback NYT list debut in 40 years.All the best, DimplesBoortz IS misrepresenting that fact.
pigdog IS an idiot.
Now we can all agree I think that Boortz is still misrepresenting the significance of his book debuting at #3 on the Nonfiction Paperback list as something much more significant than it really is. Still up on his website (from May 11):
SENDING YET ANOTHER MESSAGE...Yesterday we got the first numbers for sales of the soft cover edition of The FairTax Book. We debuted as No. 3! Now ... a little historical perspective. In the 1950's Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Weisel's book "Night" debuted as No 1. on the New York Times paperback list. Then in 1966 Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" debuted as No. 2. Now, in 2006, The FairTax Book debuts as No. 3! This is the highest first week for a paperback in 40 years!
Since there wasn't even a Nonfiction Paperback list when Night and In Cold Blood came out in paperback, one has to wonder what exactly Boortz is referring to. I happen to think that my initial speculation, that he misread the notification that his book was #3 behind Night and In Cold Blood caused him to shut off his thinking faculties and publish his erroneous claims, is probably correct.
Now pigdog likely has another take from his alternative FairTax world where Neal Boortz tells the truth.
Rob mistyped the name of Capote's book "In Cold Blood" as "In True Blood."Liberals and gays get all pushed out of shape and will go on and on trying to make YOU look like a fool when you don't give proper respect to one of their own.
And you, Dimp-Dimp, win Nightie's cookie. It's really hard to understand how the bunch of your compatriots could fail to see such an obvious error and repeatedly call those who spotted it "liars". No doubt they'll readily admit how wrong they were and eat all that crow now.
That's the normal Squirrel MO, though - misstate and never admit an error. It's good to see you found it even though I don't get the cookie (it was probably full of nuts anyway). Good work and lets hope Nightie, etc. don't now call you a turncoat for finding something so obvious and making them look stoopid.
That was the only error I commented on (the typo wasn't worth commenting on - I luv typos as you know). As for Boortz and his statements, they are what they are and he does a good job of publicizing the FairTax whether you like it (or him) or not.
In the meantime, the 40 or so posts where your moronic buds who cannot read and comprehend have been calling those who spotted the error "liars" repeatedly and attempting to impugn them are shown to absolutely be like the guy passing gas in church.
Robbie's former vanity posts about The FairTax Book earlier were and are a bunch of hooey. If you swallow them as anything but made of whole cloth, it is you who are the idiot.
Good work on reading, though. Perhaps you can teach your pals how.
