Mary Cheney's book sales head straight down the crapper.

Mary, sweetie, the GOP got everything they needed from you, now they just wish you would have the decency to go away. Those God-fearing folk with whom you aligned yourself wouldn't piss down your neck if your guts were on fire, they sure as hell aren't going to buy your book!

1. Gee you mean the fundies aren't buying her book?
LOL

Her racist, homophobic party won't buy her book, and neither will us liberals.

2. Maybe I should buy one. They'll become collectors items.
Imagine, having one of 6,000.

Bwahahahahahahahaha.

3. This is what would happen to Coulter's books.....
and many other RW wack-job's tomes, if they were not bought up by the thousands by those Conservative book clubs, and then all but given away.

Telling, isn't it.

4. What were they thinking giving her a $million for that?
Honestly, who really cares enough about Mary Cheney to shell out their hard-earned dollars for a book about her life? The left is pissed at her, and the right is quietly embarrased about her.

Any bets on how many (thousands of) copies Daddy bought?

15. They were betting Mary would try to appeal to at least one group
She was an unknown quantity. Thus, there was a possibility a family war and plenty of headlines if she was true to herself and therefore plenty of books sold. In that context, it was a reasonable bet. No one figured she'd piss off intelligent people and do nothing to appeal to the bigots in the Republican base (thus, no mass purchases by Republican group that jack up the sales of others), leaving no one to buy it.

5. that is certainly dismal for a book released by a huge publishing house
and given the kind of media attention it got. Hey with a 19% approval rating Cheney's father isn't much of a marketing tool.

7. Lesbian Republicans are a small demographic.
And I think Progressives of all stripes have written her off.

Big Fuckin' shocker. Hell, some folks -even here- want to kick the gays, atheists and pro-choicers out of the DEMOCRATIC party.

Maybe now she'll figure out who runs the GOP.

10. I doubt Mary Cheney will get the message.
You can't straddle the water, with one foot on the dock and the other foot on the boat, for long. Eventually the boat pulls away from the dock and a decision must be made.

Mary, you're either with us or against us. You cannot be true to your sexual identity and support your father and George Bush as well. It just won't work.

12. How will she feed herself?????
That poor poor hypocritical self-serving self-loathing sorry excuse for a human being possibly manage to survive since she comes from such a humble and meager family.

13. If she'd written a tell-all "Daddy Dearest" book...
I bet that at least the Liberals would have bought it.

Stories about Daddy dressing her up like a quail and chasing her through the woods with a shotgun while calling her a "goddamn lezbo just like your mom," would have sold millions of copies.
