BOOK SALES SOS: CARVILLE/BEGALA BOOK BUST, 'TAKE IT BACK' SELLS 17,734 COPIES SINCE JAN. RELEASE, ACCORDING TO NIELSEN'S BOOKSCAN; WONKETTE ANA MARIE COX 'DOG DAYS' 5,383 COPIES SOLD... DAILY KOS 'CRASHING THE GATE' ONLY 253 COPIES PURCHASED, NIELSEN CLAIMS...
Let's see. There are no conservative titles in here. The Carville/Begala and Daily Kos screeds are predictable leftist trash, so the lefties must not be interested in re-hashed trash since no one else is either, obviously. Meanwhile, the former Wonkette may have left her day job too soon. Aside from a pert attractiveness and a few good connections, we never could understand the media fascination with her stint at that blog, except perhaps for her periodic obsession with anal sex. Fact is, a "novel" about Washington's boring 30-somethings apparently bored even them. And Cox still can't write, although she has a remarkable talent for stringing glib phrases together. Perhaps Hillary could use a speechwriter...
It's probably too much to get what's left of the book publishing industry to focus on turning out good, interesting titles anymore, loaded with quality content and free of leftist cant. The industry seems to have become a high-priced mass market vanity press for highly-flakked celebrities who have nothing between their ears. The buying public seems to have caught onto this. But we only find this out from Drudge. They'll never tell.
Cosmically, what does this mean? Simple. The folks in flyover country are far more sophisticated that the East Coast leftie glitterati could ever imagine. Perhaps we are now arresting the cultural decline of the West. But we still have a long way to go.
