Ann Coulter can't outsell Hillary Clinton

[LynneSin]

I just checked the NYTimes bestselling list for Non-Fiction Hardbacks and yes, Ann Coulter made the top 10.

But it seems that she just doesn't have the fan base or support to outsell Hillary Clinton, whose book has been #1 now for three weeks straight.

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/13/books/bestseller/0713besthardnonfiction.html

Little Ms Annthrax must be steaming in her shoes knowing that she just isn't as good as Hillary. I'm sure she published that book to be released soon after Hillary's just so Annie could brag about bumping Hillary off the #1 spot on the NYTimes bestselling list, but Annie only has so many rabid readers whereas the world wants to read about Hillary.

There is a reason Hillary Clinton gets $8 million dollar advance for her book and Annie never will - folks would rather read books written by a real lady instead of the treasonous trashy bitch like Ann Coulter.

1. Only reason her unmitigated BS is on the Top Ten List...

...is that wealthy right wingers buy up carton fulls of the crap, then hand the books out gratis to their church and/or golfing buddies.

[ward919]

29. And don't forget those government and military management courses!

They did this with Bennett's book. Every friggin managment course in Colorado, Las Vegas, LA, and DC at one time was handing out or trying to sell these RW books.

[bpilgrim]

2. they are apparently giving it away on drudge...

lol

peace

3. ANN THE MAN fades into obscurity

Ever since they cancelled Politically Incorrect, she has been teetering.

Now that the Nazified GOP wants to look moderate for the 2004 election cycle, she will be dropped like a two-bit crack whore who has lost her teeth.

awww, too bad.

8. speaking of that show

politically incorrect with bill mahr. bill is suppose to be fairly progressive and even downright liberal at times in his political views. why did he (and he still does today in his new show on hbo) invite that "thing" so often to his show? i never understood this.

i'm guessing bill is perverse enough to want to sleep with that thing. bill, after all, does have a reputation of being a ladies man or a playboy. does anyone know what was going on in bill's head when he invites that thing to his show?

[GalleryGod]

11. Gotta Be Sucking his Dick! Saw his Show in NYC-He killed her!

Of course he knew it was mostly folks from close-by NYC that came in for the one man show-but he nailed HER and Leno,Miller, and Matthews.
The ceiling fixtures almost fell! =:>)

41. Ratings and nothing more....

Coulter has a following of dipshits from the far flung Reich Wing. They'll buy every book and watch each time she hits the tube,although they were probably crushed a week back when Tweety took her scrawny ass apart piece by piece over her newest book.

4. Look at the titles that have ...

the (+) after them:
Adams apple annie, Dick Morris and DERELICTION OF DUTY, by Robert (Buzz) Patterson.
Why is that?

[alaine]

5. It's getting close...

I was in the bookstore sunday and they had Hilary at #2 and coldturd at #4, that freaked me out because I didn't know 'it' had made the top 10. What is that full body shot about anyway, "look I'm a skinny bleached blonde white girl, here's your free poster"? Wonder why she didn't wear her fuschia micro-mini. I bet all the liberals (and there were some) who were moaning "another book about Hilary, great are biting their tongues now, thank god for Hillary and Harry Potter, they're doing a great job defending the top slots against the forces of evil.

Someone out there a couple weeks ago said there was a way to look at the NYT list and tell if there had been bulk buyings, does anyone remember, on have a link on where they break down the book sales...

[Champion Jack]

7. Bulk buyings...hmmmmmm

interesting that the 3 titles that have that are all right wing tomes.....hmmmmmmmmmm

[rasputin1952]

16. If you look for the (+)...

after the title & description, you will know there were bulk sales.

If you scroll down on the NYT's Bestseller List, you will see explanation of the dagger. But as far as I know there is no way to break down, or know who did all of the bulk buying.

[TheBigGuy]

6. well..whose heard of Anne Coulter???

Hillary Clinton was sort of a national figure a bit of a celebrity, as are all firstr ladys.

And then there is that "Kitty Kellyesque scandal" aspect of her marriage to Bubba Clinton, which would get people who are not into politics, but ARE into human interest storys, intrested in her tale.

Anne is just a political figure, who has a narrowers appeal.

[sduncang]

12. Anne Coulter....Scary Stuff....

Tune in to "Sean Hannity" for about five minutes and you get the gist of Anne Coulter, Dick Morris, et al. Laughable as it is, it's still scary stuff..these people are dangerous and extreme right-wingers and God help us if they ever get their way. Disagree with them and you're committing treason...give me a break!

If anyone's interested, there's a serious review of Anne's latest diatribe :

9. here we go

Rankings reflect sales, for the week ending June 28, at almost 4,000 bookstores plus wholesalers serving 50,000 other retailers (gift shops, department stores, newsstands, supermarkets), statistically weighted to represent all such outlets nationwide. An asterisk (*) indicates that a book's sales are barely distinguishable from those of the book above.

A dagger (+) indicates that some bookstores report receiving bulk orders.

[alaine]

14. Thank you!!!!!! Just as we suspected!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything in the world that the freepers don't freep?

You can't even believe female freeps when they say they've had multiple orgasms. Sad.

[diplomats]

21. I love it

all the books with daggers are by wingnuts of some variety. How interesting ...

[sam sarrha]

26. bulk buying

i wonder how much of the bulk buying was paid for by republican party's 'soft money' ??

[newyawker99]

40. Hi sam sarrha!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[kskiska]

10. Coulter won't have foreign sales

Hillary will probably make evenmore on foreign than domestic.

Besides, Coulter is getting horrible reviews. She overstepped her bounds in writing on subject matter with a historical context, involving facts. She's out of her depth. She should stick to screeds and pamphlets.

[newyawker99]

13. Hi sduncang!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[diplomats]

23. Also, the first week is the strongest

I would imagine, so Ann may never reach No. 1.

[Liberal Veteran]

15. Who cares about Hillary vs. Ann....The real match is...

Will "Stupid White Men" outlast both "Treason" and "Slander" combined on the bestsellers list?

Now that would be a slap in the face to Ms. Coulter.

[11 Bravo]

17. The human Pez dispenser

can neither write nor speak. Still, enough dittoheads, freepers, and other asorted wingnuts will purchase her screed to keep her comfortably supplied with emetics, laxatives, and whatever the fuck else she takes to make Ichabod Crane seem pudgy by comparison.

[Sava]

18. why do liberals care about Hillary?

I don't... I think she's a canniving, dishonest politician. Ann Coulter is much worse, though. But Hillary isn't a saint.

go dean!

[molly]

19. Do you personally know Hillary?

or have you been listening to Rush?

[Sava]

35. oh please...

so anyone who doesn't conform and step in line with the DNC is a Rush listening conservativE? give me a break... gaud... Here's a news flash... POLITICIANS LIE. Clinton lied. And if Hillary says (I haven't read the book, nor will I) that she didn't know about his infidelity, than SHE IS LYING. There are very few honest politicians. And even fewer that won't live and die by the polls. Hillary isn't worse than anyone else in Washington. But don't fall in line and be a puppet for the DNC.

I'm as liberal as you can be, but I'm not going to live in denial. It's not just a river in Egypt... :eyes:

[Friar]

36. oh, puleeze, indeed

Without mentioning Monica, tell me about some of these Clinton lies.

[Sava]

38. a lie is a lie is a lie

I have no idea what else Clinton lied about. I'm sure he did lie about other things. He lied so well that I can't tell.

Why do liberals and so-called progressives think Clinton was a good president? He was above-average... but certainly not a progressive champion of any kind. He was just another corporate-wh0re...

the fact is, however irrelevant it is to his presidency (I don't think he should have been impeached however) he did lie.

just admit it and then you can become a non-hypocritical liberal like me

[Libby2]

37. Oh please

Just exactly where do you fit into this equation?
Were you living in the WH at the time?
How do you know what Hillary knew?


You can opinine all you want but you have no way of knowing what Hillary knew and when she knew it.

[Sava]

39. you're right

I have no idea what took place behind closed doors in the WH. But Hillary knew the past... I know the past... AMERICA KNOWS THE PAST. She was cheated on before, probably many times... either she made the mistake of trusting his lies, or she knew the truth... either way, she doesn't score any points with me.

[11 Bravo]

20. Canniving?

Is that a devious meat eater?

[w4rma]

22. She's the most talked about first lady in the history of the U.S.A. (n/t)

[southernfried]

32. right now yes but...

Elenor Roosevelt created the mold, Jackie broke it and made a better one (you do realize that Jackie has had far more chat over her than Hill ever will).

And in their day there were several others who generated chatter. Martha Washington, Dolly Madison (not the pastry lady), Lady Bird, Pat Nixon, and the Dragon lady Mrs Reagan not to shortchange Rosalind Carter or Ba Bush.

But yes, she's quite popular.

[LynneSin]

27. It isn't whether or not someone likes Hillary

It's the fact that the right-wing neo-con fascists planned to release Annthrax Coulters book soon after Hillary's so they could brag about bumping Hillary off the NYTimes top 10 list. Obviously it backfired, especially now that I figured out that the (+) next to an entry on the list denotes that there were bulk orders of the book (ie - someone buying bulk on a book to help boost sales as oppose to a book being sold one book at a time to folks.) So it's even more obvious that Annie probably only got as high on the list as she got because some moneybag sleazeball bought bulk of her book to help push her sales up - and I think that (+) sign is pretty much a bad thing if you have to have bulk purchases increase your sale!!!

[WonderTwins]

24. #20!

Amazing that #20 is Michael Moore's _Stupid White Men_. Didn't that come out almost a year ago? I can guarantee you that Little Orphan Annie's latest screed won't be anywhere near the Top 200 a year from now.

[alaine]

25. Molly Ivins in September and Al Franken in October...

Coulter better not get too comfortable.

Ivins-"Bushwhacked"

Franken-"Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them"

How did Coulter's book get a blurb from the NYT on the back? Does anyone have the greater text the quote was taken from?

[kskiska]

31. Oh, but don't forget

Bar Bush's book will be out in October, the one that trashes everyone who ever got in the way of her family's ambitions – even David Gergen is on her hit list. And I keep hearing how the Bushes have "class."

[alaine]

33. But aren't all the people that like her dead...

or dying?

[LynneSin]

28. In a year I'll be able to buy Annthrax's book from the bargin bin

for $4.99. Although mind you I'd rather light a match to a $5 bill than to waste it on anything written by that treasonous slandering slut.

She's not selling and her numbers are there because of bulk purchases which is clearly showed on that NYTimes list. Books with (+) next to them means there were reports of bookstores receiving bulk purchase orders - aka, some rich neoo-con fascist is buying the book trying to make it popular

[Ashes]

30. I predict this book will be the biggest

free giveaway item at flea markets all over the nation within 3 months.

[southernfried]

34. I have a hunch that sales wil be down for Ann due to subject

more than anything else.

I don't think that anyone much wants to hear about Joe McCarthy. Its just not that interesting to the public in 2003. "Slander II : More shit from the NYT" or "Slander II : The Washington Post is just a pack of commie lefto jackels too" would have had a better chance.

McCathy is about as interesting as an expose on William Howard Taft to people.
