Why Is "Unfit For Command" Selling Out?
Richard Mellon Scaife is buying it in bulk to use as mulch. Or was that Mona Charen?

(Just a little much needed Al Franken humour for the day.)

4. Bush Campaign is buying them...
Using campaign dollars they raised to purchase them. They want the media dogs to run around in circles over what appears to be a 'mainstream' book.

5. Because they are giving it away for free on conservative
websites. Another DUer posted an article by Ann Coulter with a link to her website and lo and behold a pop-up ad to get it for free. Then another ad to get three conservative books free. You choose the titles from a list of recent RW diatribe including "Treason" by Ann. I have seen these ads on blogs and other websites too.

So apparently, some think tank buys this waste of trees in bulk and then they pass them out for free because no one else is buying. Freepers don't read much anyway.

10. I got these off of Coulter's website.
However, other conservative sites are offering free books too.

11. One of the clerks at Borders agreed with me that it was ridiculous
for a desrter to be questioning a war hero.
