I apologize to anyone who may have been affected by my grevious errors in misspelling "single", "misrepresent" and for misstating the name of the book "In Cold Blood" as "In True Blood" in one of the three places the title is named in my post. Oh, no one was offended except one particularly stupid person, good...

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.

Only other nitwit Fairtaxers (you know who you are) should care about the irrelevant ramblings of their resident lunatic.

In my posts pointing out the error Robbie, I never said it offended me - just that it was, which all of you but good, dear sweet Dimp-Dimp kept claiming was a lie on the part of anyone saying it was an error.

Perhaps Dimp-Dimp will give you free reading lessons.

I guess we can take this wishy washy post of your as admitting that, yes, it was an error and, no, those calling attention to it were not "liars" as you were repeatedly spouting. Goes to show the quality of your "research" on the FairTax.
