Ann Coulter's Book Sales Head South


Though never exactly shy, Ann Coulter has been especially noisy in her self-promotion lately, inventing a beef with NBC News, arguing with Keith Olbermann over the meaning of a Cornell degree and taking her act on the road with Bill Maher as foil. Could it be because she's worried she's losing our attention?

Coulter's latest book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, is something of a misfire by Coulterian standards. Of course, what constitutes a disappointment for Coulter would be a mega-hit for most authors; in its two months on sale, Guilty has sold 100,500 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan (a number that only reflects around 70 percent of actual sales).

But with it moving steadily down the best-seller list, it looks certain that Guilty will fall far short of matching her earlier results. Her 2006 polemic, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, sold 279,100 copies in hardcover, according to BookScan; Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terror, published in 2003, sold 396,600 hardcover copies, and 2002's Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, sold 333,100 copies, plus another 108,300 in paperback. (The two other books she published over that period, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) and If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans, are both collections rather than original works, so I left them out for the sake of apples-to-apples comparison.)

No wonder Coulter's wishing out loud that the new administration had chosen to feud with her instead of Rush Limbaugh. Could it be that Barack Obama's America has a smaller appetite for Coulter's brand of take-no-prisoners, obey-no-logic conservatism?

1. The hook is on its way to drag her tired, skinny, pathetic carcass off stage.

Coulter is a used condom. A used tampon. Worth nothing, once used. And she's been used, abused, and is now being thrown out by the right wing.

A fact check on her outrageous statements shows she's almost always wrong. The woman never had any real credibility, and depended on stupid people who were too lazy/ignorant/bigoted to be bothered with something like checking facts for themselves.

Now she can shut the fuck up and go back to giving blow jobs in dark West Palm Beach alleys for 10 bucks.

(Edit: spelling. Brain not as fast as fingers this early in the morning.)

2. FWIW
A few years ago The History Book Club started carrying Coulter's crap in its catalog. I dropped my membership like a hot rock and told the club exactly why I did.

Just checked their online catalog and Coulter's garbage is not to be found. So maybe I wasn't the only member who didn't consider right wing propaganda and lies to be history.

She is circling the bowl. Good.

4. Coulter vs. Olbermann
i caught her side of Keith's Cornell bona fides and I have to ask;

Is there any merit to her claim that Keith went to the "Vo-ag" division of Cornell and he's not as much of an ivy leaguer as he portends?

School me on this, please.

5. Well, for starters Cornell's ag research is among the most
advanced in the country and maybe the world. For Coulter to trash Cornell's "vo-ag" says more about her ignorance and faux elitism than Olbermann's leaguer's c.v.
