Clarke's book tops (NY) Times list
http://www.nydailynews.com/business/story/179637p-156140c.html

White House spokesman Scott McClellan told The New York Times this week, "I think most Americans view Richard Clarke and his contradictions as yesterday's news."

Hardly.

Clarke's news-making book, "Against All Enemies," will debut at No. 1 on The Times best-seller list to be published April 11.

The Free Press, a Simon & Schuster unit, started with 300,000 copies and now has 650,000 in print.

Clarke's whistle-blowing account of the war on terror will top a nonfiction list that includes so many books unflattering to the Bush White House that it recalls when former President Bill Clinton was the booksellers' best friend.

2. Noticed how the conservatives stopped using bestselling books...
...authored by their ilk, as validation of their thoughts?

That quickly went out of style once Clinton, Franken and more started producing the same results, easily.

Though I wouldn't include Clarke's book in the same group as the above author's, it's still a book which is critical of the Bush administration, and there it is, less than two weeks of it's release.
