#21?

How much money was this 20 year old girl paid to write a book?

Clearly no one is interested in what this dimwit has to say.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. That's waaaaay too high.

I weep for this country. :P

[MADem]

2. What nitwit Wingnut bought tomes by the thousands?

Probably the same asswipe who bought the Ann Coulter pile of hogwash...which is at number six on the list.

6. costco, sams club, etc

[MADem]

8. Hmmmm--so, is an eight pack of Coulter cheaper than Charmin?

It would certainly be rougher on those tender tissues!

[Speck Tater]

3. #21 puts it WAAAY above a thousand other books that were released around the same time.

That's a long way from "tanking", in spite of what we would like to believe.

[99 Percent Sure]

4. Someone's interested - Her book debuted

on the NYT Bestsellers list. Although it isn't the NYRB, it's still the NYT, even if TPartiers and Repubs bought up pallets of them to ensure her success. I'd be pleased just to have my ms published. If it debuted where hers did on the bestseller lists 6 years after publication, I can't even describe the ecstasy and joy I'd feel.

And yet, I hear what you're saying: The proliferation of Americans so dumb they can't even readthe girl's book despite having a college degree continues ...

5. Tanking?? Plenty would KILL to be on that list!

7. But it is profitable politically to do so, the cost was worth it to

the vendors that make sure to keep the GOP alive...even if no one really cares anymore. Still push the message and spend money for the agenda. It is how they win, the don't have the truth on their side...they have something far more powerful - The M$M.

9. Her book is currently # 1,525 on Amazon

I'd like to see the list above hers.
