Just curious, has the NYT reviewed Governor Palin’s book yet ... or, for that matter Glen Beck’s ..... or the Huckster’s?

The NYT might have to put some “rouge” on that mark that Sarah left!

Hey, conservatives are backwater hicks and can’t read. Didn’t you get the memo? /sarcasm>

There’s some wailing and gnashing of teeth going on up there. Where’s that teenyweeny violin picture?

at this rate the NYT best Selling list will have to go as a “ budget cut”.

Of course it is Number One. In the end, the truth will out.

Can someone explain why almost all five of these books are themed to highlight family, Faith and self reliance, yet our country is in the morass of an example set by leaders and a media who constantly purport societal adherence, godless existence and government dependency?

Where is the disconnect???

Haven’t read it, but have heard him on his radio show in Detroit about the book.

Guess it’s a true story, and thanks to that book, a church that helps the homeless has a new roof. Raised over 60k to fix it.

Your call.

Conservatives beware: The real Mitt Romney arguing FOR abortion, even for underage girls without parental permission... Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this is the creepy smiling face of an evil butcher!

Jews and Christians beware: King David murdered the husband of his mistress, even while Uriah faithfully served in David's army. Don't let anyone fool you, his was the smiling face of a homicidal adulterer!

Christians beware: Paul the Apostle persecuted and murdered believers prior to his conversion and repentence, even though they did no harm to anyone! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, his was the smiling face of an evil butcher!

Conservatives beware: Ronald Reagan was a socialist union activist prior to his conversion to Conservatism, even though he made a fortune from free market capitalism. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, his was the face of a Communist!

How hypocritical we are when we refuse to allow others to change their minds and hearts, and to turn from their past wrongs! Mitt Romney's 180-degree turn on abortion came when theory turned to reality -- when Romney realized that his signature as governor would mean real life or death for real people. When it came his time to choose with lives on the line, Romney chose life. The ranks of pro-lifers is filled with many former pro-choicers who recognized and chose the truth when it stared them in the face. Regardless of whatever else anyone might like or not like about Mitt Romney, he made the right choice about abortion when it mattered.

Following your logic, here's another headline...
Christians beware: Mike Huckabee abandoned his "call" to the ministry to enter politics. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this is the devious smiling face of a slick opportunist who left the ministry to fleece the faithful, destroy the Arkansas GOP, and foment envy against others who have earned more than him!

Why don't we stick to the issues like good Conservatives, and find the candidate who best espouses real Conservative values? For the record, I believe the best man for the job is Sarah Palin.

I wonder if her book will have legs. Someone said her book was beating Steven King’s book. I wonder how his book is if it is selling less than Palin’s. Although this is about his 30th book and maybe people are not quite as estatic about standing in line to get his book. It will be very interesting to see where she is next week. I hope she will stay number one through Christmas at least.

Dunno what’s next, but with Obummer in charge, you can be assured they will be a “next”. The best would be for Obama to force Holder to reverse course on the KSM trial in NYC, that would be a major embarrassment. And I’m all for that! Plus, it is the right thing to do.

On Amazon, Palin is#1, King is #3, behind Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol"

Yup




Saran Palin runs second only to behind Bill Clinton’s memoir, but solidly ahead of Hillary Clinton’s "Living History" for first week sales. She is going to end up outselling both Bill Clinton and Hilary Clinton's books though.


Nielsen account for appprox 70% of books sold.

Not only that, she is outselling by best-seller James Patterson too.

I wonder how his book is if it is selling less than Palin’s.”

Got nothing to do with how good or bad Steven Kin's book is.
It's got everything to do with how good/popular Sarah Palin and her book are.
