I really can't help but to enjoy indulging in a bit of schadenfreude over the low sales volume of House Speaker Pelosi's (D-CA) new book. :rofl: What a dumbass she is thinking she could sell a book when her Congress has the lowest approval rating since they started making such polling! What a success story she is! Well I guess that she was busy working on that slavery apology and trying to figure out how to explain that she's not going to allow a vote on drilling without saying that she's not going to allow it (yes, I saw her on Slay the Nation last weekend and she stumbled all over herself to get around having to answer that question).
Note that the new expose out about Obama sold ten times as many copies in it's first week of release.
This is from the Drudge Report:
SPEAKER OF THE FLOP: PELOSI SELLS 2,737 COPIES OF BOOK
Thu Aug 07 2008 08:11:48 ET
The most powerful woman in the history of American politics is suffering a humiliating defeat at the nation's bookstores, sales figures show.
In her first week at market, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sold just 2,737 copies of her book KNOW YOUR POWER, according to NIELSEN BOOKSCAN.
The DOUBLEDAY release was launched with a full media push, featuring high profile interviews on TODAYTHEVIEWTHISWEEK.
"I wrote the book in response to people asking me what it was like to go from housewife to House Speaker and for advice as to how young people, especially women, could balance family and career," Pelosi told the WASHINGTON POST.
Pelosi's sales debacle [#41 on the Non-Fiction Chart] is dramatically overshadowed by the first high profile anti-Obama book, OBAMA NATION, which debuts at #1 on both the BOOKSCAN and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List, with 21,466 copies moved, industry insiders tell DRUDGE.
"The speaker was pre-occupied with house business last week," a source close to Pelosi explained Thursday morning. "She has now turned her focus to promoting this extraordinary book... doing local signings and speeches. I think we'll see an uptick."

How does this crazy bitch get where she is?

I'd say in her case "it's not who you know it's who you blow" but that'd be giving her way too much credit.
Short of that I guess you'll have to wait until her book reaches the Bargain Book bin (which shouldn't take too long by the looks of it).

When I first heard this on Monday, it became perfectly clear why she had to cut the lights off on the Republicans last week when the energy debate came up. She had to get out of town (DC) to go peddle her fucking book. She said, "fuck this, I've got to get ready to sell my book on national tv, I can't let a real session of important legislative work start right now."
I'm sure some GOP's knew she had this scheduled and wanted to twist her titties on this, so they waited to start the debate till late in the week.
I'm really curios to know if anybody on Today or the View brought up the subject of her having the nation's democratically elected representatives removed from the floor to stop a debate on legislation. She's a fucking communist mommy part.

The only problem I have with it is that it is an insult to mommy parts everywhere.

I'm sure that question has not come up but they surely have asked how she is able to "do so much work in the Senate, be a homemaker, and a grandma, and find time to write a book?!"
She's holding out for an Obama win this fall and a further Dem sweep of the Congress (especially that 60 seats in the Senate) so that she, her buddy Harry Reid, and Obama can write their own "Energy Plan" which will involve taxing the hell out of all of us!
