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...

The dems were trying to figure out why they lost in 2002 and they bemoaned the fact that talk radio was all conservative and that conservatives ruled the bestseller lists in the non fiction catergory. They were also concerned they couldn't chip away at Bush's integrity with the American people.
I have noticed every left wing kook in the world is coming out with a book. That gives them face time for interviews with like minded media shrills. I sincerely believe that there is some dnc bulk book buying going on.
They think that having their books on the NYT bestseller list will help them win elections. They think that smearing Rush will cause him to loose his audience. They think they can permenately erode the public's trust of President Bush if they say the "leak" scandal is worse than Watergate.
It never occurs to liberals that their lack of logic and ideas is what dooms them to failure. At some point they have to convince the American people that they have more substance than just Bush hating.
