I don't even know where they would be selling it. I definetely don't know of anybody that bought it.

Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand probably bought thousands! And Howard Dean's fans. That is how so many liberal books are top sellers now, I am convinced. Rich liberals keep them there. Think of Michael Moore, 2 of his now in the top 25 or so on Amazon and one at #1. Hard to believe that many would spend an over-priced amount to read his delusional garbage. But I can imagine Alec Baldwin with a warehouse full of them!

For my first post here, I will give some speculation on that question. Possibly Bruce Springsteen is buying up all the copies...he seems to be obsessed with Al Franken.

Just a lurkers opinion.

In some weeks, you can literally sell 20,000 copies of your book and be #1. Other weeks, like when a Harry Potter is out, the top seller sells alot more.

We get a distorted view of the popularity of movies and books by their rankings. A movie generates $15,500,000 in it's first week-end. At $5 a ticket, that means that 3,100,000 out of the 280,000,000 in the US, and 30,000,000 in Canada watched it. 1 out of every 100 people watched. It's a hit.

Books the numbers are even more drastic. You could literally have 1 in 400 people buy your book and be #1. So, it is very easy to not know anybody who bought a "runaway" best seller.

A couple of the lib teachers where I work(not an oxymoron;
this is Potter County,PA after all)gleefully report their
joy at Franken's "wit" and "truth".
They were preaching the gospel in the teachers room during
lunch recently. I asked to see Franken's book, telling them
I'd like a chance to refute one of his points.
Macrahanish#1-"Let me find what I'm looking for. What,no index?
Is your leftist messiah too lazy or stupid, or both,to
include an index"?
Since then, I've been refuting Franken point by point.
Yesterday, I actually made one of them cry! They said,
through the tears, "You conservatives are so mean."
I've offered to debate Franken one-on-one in a student
assembly. One of the libs is trying his best to contact
Mr. Smalley.
I hate liberalism and the lies which are its' cornerstone.

I downloaded Ann Coulter's World Net Daily column from Octoer 9 for fresh
ammo. Just the mention of her name causes the teacher libs to foam at the mouth.
Not that they've actually read anything written by her.
No shiny pictures, doncha know.

Here's another Al that's probably bought a few crates of Slap Happy Al's left-wing screed.

On the Radio Factor yesterday, O'Reilly (briefly) alluded to Franken's surge in sales, claiming that there has been some sort of massive buy of that book, as well as Michael Moore's newly-released tome. O'Reilly didn't offer any specifics to back it up, so it may have been sour grapes. On the other hand, it's a well-known fact that many book sellers are liberal, and give favored books a prominent position in their stores. As I recall, when O'Reilly's first book came out, you had to ask for it in the bookstore, and it was usually buried on a back aisle, to drove down potential sales...

Through my various businesses I interact with literally hundreds of peeples a week. Many are liberals. I often ask that question of them. Firstly, none have ever bought an Al Frankenstein book. Secondly, many voice their embarassment at Al Frankenstein being a lib.
