As I understand it, wooden puppets are boycotting it 'cause of the waste of trees...

I'm not surprised.

Both books are too high priced for their value as toilet paper.

Al needs to pull a Jim Wright maneuver: personally purchase about 100,000 copies, and distribute them at Democrat meetings...

So how do these rankings translate into actual numbers of books sold? I'd like to know how many were printed and how many were actually sold.

Since the DU'ers were made to pony up to enter the website, they have no money left over from their welfare checks to buy this claptrap.

Who else is going to read Al's and Tipper's stupidity?

But you just don't understand: Algore is ENTITLED to be the POTUS! By virtue of his brain, heart, and courage, he was destined to rule over us Munchkins. < /sarcasm>

Publishers are taking a huge risk in undertaking to publish a Democrat's work.

It's common knowledge that most of the Democrat's base supporters are illiterate.

More pictures, less text. That's the ticket.

Scratch and sniff may work too.

I saw those books prominently displayed in Barnes & Noble and B. Dalton and wondered, "Who is going to buy those?" Two Gore books on the market at the same time is two too many. And it also seems like a marketing screw up, because the books are competing against each other for a small market of potential buyers.

OTOH, being in 1,126th place would put the book in the top one-tenth of one per cent of all titles sold on Amazon.

Dems will probably force it as "Required" reading in all public schools.

Jimbo, the title of this article leads me to suggest the following:

FLOP! should be Al's new nickname... Since Gore is renouncing his having supported the first Gulf War, I'm sure he wants to retire "Prime-Time Al", so let's replace it with FLOP!

And the Dems are almost at the point of no return for the #1,126-ranked author being the nominee for President in 2004. By default, front-loaded primaries, sheer stupidity, etc.

Unbelievable. They're actually gonna let this smarmy, unpopular creep get a second try at the office.

These people aren't even worthy opponents. C'MON! GET OFF THE CANVAS YOU LOSERS! THAT ALL YOU GOT?!! Wussies.
