Elizabeth Edwards' Book Debut Disappoints

Even a juicy political affair and an appearance on Oprah didn't help Elizabeth Edwards sell a lot of books.

To say that her new memoir, Reflections, underperformed would be an understatement.

The book trailed behind Michael J. Fox's memoir and Mark Levin's Liberty, only opening with a scan of 18,853 units.

To put that into perspective: Fox's book scanned 36,321 units this past week, with a total of 138,128 since it's release.

The battle of the books is on!

Her husband’s a dud and she lied. The end.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

A friendly request to kill the link to the FatGayBoy’s website. Even though it would be small, the link-over traffic just isn’t right.

[Badeye]

Its old news, she’s not exactly a ‘hottie’ and he’s best known for being the butt of the ‘I’m so pretty’ video.

[theDentist]

Curious, do you often post links to Perez Hilton’s site?

[Gay State Conservative]

Her husband’s a dud and she lied. The end.

You spelled it wrong.It's spelled P....U....N....K.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Not exactly a surprise ending in this one...

[Justaham]

Not very often. Only if the news is worth sharing.

[JohnBrowdie]

no one ever gave a damn about john edwards or his wife to begin with, other than the edwardses themselves, and various hypnoized members of the media.

Why does Perez care or is he just heterophobic and this makes him happy?

[fleagle]

The Cliff Notes version:

John lied. Elizabeth aided and abetted the lie and is shamefully attempting to cash in by airing her dirty laundry. But, aw shucks, her book is tanking. Hopefully it will sink without a ripple. And Perez Hilton is a big fat homo.

[Red in Blue PA]

Why on earth would you post a link to Perez Hilton’s site?????

[brwnsuga]

The book will be sold in the “Dollar Tree” before long.

[fleagle]

Yep. Right next to:

[Justaham]

You don’t have to click on the post if you don’t want to read it. The fact that you opened the post, while knowing it was linked to the PH site, is no one’s fault but yours. Grow up.

[Red in Blue PA]

Call me crazy but I abhor giving attention (read: internet hits which translate into $$) to hateful people. But hey, that’s just me.

[Lizavetta]

He probably posts Meghan McCain’s bloviations here too.

[Justaham]

I just treat PH as just another blogger. Whether it translates to $$ for him — I really don’t care. I know he is crazy in some way (maybe in a lot of ways), but I am pleased that he said something negative about Edwards (or any Democrats as he is a staunched liberal.

[Red in Blue PA]

I’m going to start posting Michael Moore articles/s

[Justaham]

Or your bloviations as well.

[Justaham]

Good for you — go ahead, no one’s getting in your way.

[theDentist]

ok

[all the best]

Agreed. Kinda surprised to see a Perez Hilton link here.

[sappy]

so she and her husband have something in common now

[A CA Guy]

No one wants to buy a sad story about their life IMO.

I’m sorry for her poor health though.
He husband is scum though.

[DCBryan1]

I despise both John and EE.

I hope their kids are cursed with his hair and her ass.

[pissant]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer dingbat.

[Justaham]

“One of the most sadomasochistic jaunts in political history,” declared Salon.com’s Rebecca Traister.

[cubreporter]

There comes a time when people get fedup and tired of reading personal, crap about people who cheat and those who put up with it. Where is the dignity? Why is this woman staying with this man? He cheats, he humiliates her and she STILL hangs around. Go figure.

[trisham]

That pretty much sums it up.
