Ain’t no profit in being a right wing nutjob anymore…
Boo f’n hoo:
Slow going for Rove memoir auction</a>
The auction for Karl Rove’s memoir drags on a month after the Republican strategist made the rounds of publishers with Washington power lawyer Robert Barnett at his side.
“It’s very, very slow,” says an executive at one of the few houses left in the bidding. Early reports had predicted a $3 million sale, but some insiders are wondering if Mr. Barnett has had trouble getting to that number. He declined to comment.
Mr. Rove isn’t the only conservative meeting a backlash. The latest tome by right-wing scribe Ann Coulter, If Democrats Had Any Brains They’d Be Republicans, hasn’t caught fire with book buyers.</strong></em>
The title spent just four weeks on The New York Times’ best-seller list-compared with 12 for her previous book-and has sold 97,000 copies in the last 10 weeks, according to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks about 70% of the market.
Ms. Coulter’s last effort, Godless, sold 233,000 copies over the same time span, according to BookScan.
So Rove’s plan to commit treason by outing a CIA agent in a time of war and then waddling off to da beeg payday has hit that rocky snag called reality, huh…good. We have laws in this country about criminals profiting from accounts of their crimes, but I guess nobody could reasonably expect Rove to tell the truth in any memoir, so he’s in the clear on that.
Oh, and Miss Coulter…don’t let the door hit your bony ass on the way out of American discourse, mkay?
