Vaster, Righter, More Conspiratorial—and Better Read
Coulter, Malkin, Levin, Beck—Rush when he wrote books. Looks like they’re all headed to the remainder table now that Sarah’s Going Rogue:
HarperCollins will print 1.5 million copies for the book’s first run, the same number that was printed for late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s memoir “True Compass.”
Kennedy’s book, published earlier this month, currently stands at number six on the Amazon list.
A publishing industry source told POLITICO that they “cannot remember a non-fiction book taking off like this in the pre-order market. It became number one only a couple of hours after nothing more than a date announcement. It is truly unprecedented.”
Much of the 400-page book is based on journals Palin kept during her vice-presidential run.
The book is going to sell so well they should call it Sarah Palin and the Million-Plus Order of the Political Phoenix.
Let me say it before any of you do: she wrote a book before she read one.
There, that’s done. Now we can deal with what she (not Tina Fey) says and stands for.
Open question for our liberal readership (yes, you, the cat lady in Brookline): when you consider how popular conservative books are, how many people show up at local Tea Parties—the enormous throng that showed up in DC on 9/11—if there are that many racist, barely sentient haters out there, don’t you want to join the party? If you can’t beat us (and you can’t), join us.
BTW, most of the above books sell without even a capsule review in any newspaper, while Kennedy’s book comes in every box of corn flakes. The MSM has neutered itself, voluntarily, with a rusty spoon. And it’s as fun to watch as you might imagine.

One of my relatives said: 47% of Americans didn’t vote for Barack Obama and therefor 47% of Americans are racists!! The “mind” of the liberal working hard…
Chew on that one…
