You know these Rats can't seem to get their story straight.

Is the "Village" the thing or is the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered "Family" top on their priority list? ;-)

The site of Al's next book signing:

LOL!!Great satire!

Look, if we don't buy this frickin' book, he's just gonna write again, folks. Joined at the Heart, 2004 is a sure bet. IF hillary doesn't decide to write first.

I think their philosophy is "anything but a traditional family."

Gee, with all of this talk about Rush Limbaugh encouraging nutcases to threaten little Tommy, there hasn't been a peep about Al's Earth book inspiring the Unabomber.

It's that darn Amazon "butterfly" order form. Totally confusing.

[Clara Lou]

99 cents-- Don't you think that's a little pricey?

[Leisler]

I just read the New York Review of Books review of Gore's book. Ouch. Frankly, it was sad and pathetic.(Gore's book, not the review.)

The Beltway Boys is coming on and they said that Al Gore's booksigning turns into a Bush-bashing tour. Is this a variation on the Wellstone Memorally, making a book tour into a campaign stop?

[dinasour]

HeHeHe.

Ann Coulter's book was #1 on Amazon 3 weeks before it was published, and they still accused her of buying her own copies.

Another suprise worst-seller.

One of the best satirical articles I've ever read. Thank you for finding and posting this.

Many of Mr. Gore's supporters were new to this, and had never even read a book before, let alone purchased one," said Gore's chief attorney, David Boyishness. "They had no experience with web sites, or reading material."

Is this a parody? A man named Boyishness admits that Gore supporters don't read? If this is for real than I guess we know the level of intellectual capacity of the dems.

If you go to Amazon.com and type Gore book you will get

The Penis Book: An Owner's Manual -- Margaret Gore; Paperback

Basically you can only find Gore's 'book' if you look for it by name, which I have forgot already.

The USPS have reported that a large number of the books ordered are undeliverable and an internal investigation has discovered that most of those undelivered books had indicated a graveyard as an address.

LOL!!

[wearredcaps]

What a bunch of bull@$^!. Maybe we better call in Larry Flint, maybe he can come up with a picture for the cover that will make whore's book sell better

However, defenders of Amazon claimed that the Gores had tried to artificially inflate sales by busing hordes of people, who had never before used the Internet, to public web terminals, to allow them to purchase the book.

LOL!
