Let's put Kitty Kelly's book on the NYT best seller list. . .

[wndycty]

. . .I am uncomfortable fully embracing Kitty Kelly's allegations at this point, however I would love to see the book at its allegations get some press and stay in the spot light for a while. I am willing to buy a few copies of this book. Buying the book is not an endorsement but its a way to draw attention to the book. Your thoughts?

[roguevalley]

1. It'll get there on its own. :) People love to see behind the curtains.

[David Dunham]

2. I will buy 2 copies of it.

[Kahuna]

9. Bulk sales anyone???? That's what the repukes do. If anybody...

thinks that "Unfit for Command" didn't get to number one because of repukes buying in bulk, I've got a nice bridge I'd like to sell you.

[LisaL]

3. You have a right to buy whatever it is you want to buy.

It's your money, you earned it.

[benddem]

4. I've never read one of her books before

much less bought one...but payback is hell. If Bushit allowed the Swifty lies...I'm spreading stuff from this book all over.

[Kahuna]

7. Ditto..

:D

[spooky3]

22. I bought and read her Nancy Reagan book...

It was an interesting book and I think Nancy actually became a better person in the years after it was published.

[2bfree]

30. I read The Royals............

And thought it was a good read. I got it at the library but this one I'll buy!

[wndycty]

5. LOL Hopefully in attempt to keep people from reading the book. . .

. . .the freepers will buy up all the copies and put it on the NYT best seller list. Someone should recommend that to them. LOL

[Kahuna]

6. Good idea.

:evilgrin: That's the way the SBLs got attention.

[shraby]

8. They'll buy it anyway because

they love to read the dirt about famous people.

[Fleshdancer]

10. Her last 3 books were #1 on the NYT best seller list

I've never read a Kitty Kelley book, but apparently there are alot of people who love them.

[OKNancy]

12. I read her Frank Sinatra book

It wasn't too bad. It isn't written like a tabloid or anything.
I remember reading too, that creepy old Chris Hitchens loved her book "The Royals"

[Chichiri]

11. I'll buy a copy (n/t)

[Pepperbelly]

13. I checked out the freepers and they all believe that ...

her book will be in the remnent bin quickly.

I think they are whistling past the graveyard myself but what do I know?

[OKNancy]

14. All her other books were huge best sellers

I don't see any reason this one won't be either.
I think they are nuts if they think this won't make a big splash.
Kelley is quite the promoter, as is Random House.

[Blue Gardener]

20. Then I guess I have to buy it

Anything to piss them off.

[Shopaholic]

23. I've read a couple of Kelley's books in the past

and I'll buy this one, I just don't know that I'll read it. I mean, reading about * and the family isn't exactly my idea of a good time!

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. I pre-ordered mine from Amazon.

I think it will be an immediate #1 Bestseller. :bounce:

[MoonRiver]

16. Me too!

Should be very entertaining reading! :evilgrin:

[Kahuna]

17. Current Amazon rank is: 12.. Woo hoo!!!!

We can do this!!!

[RamboLiberal]

18. Sludge sure helped the sales today

#12 on Amazon, in mid-thirties on B&N. BTW on Amazon it was already in the 40's the last 2 days - so people were aware of it. But on B&N it was not very high till today.

Kitty Kelley has a name recognition factor. It will outsell the Swift Boat Liars by a huge margin. And it will sell to women.

I think this one can help!

BTW, where is everyone getting the gay allegations that are supposedly in her book. That's something I hadn't seen yet.

I love the cocaine allegations. That's not hard to believe. Hell we know he was doing coke in his TANG days, but more delicious if it was occurring at Camp David when Poppy was in the WH.

[realcountrymusic]

21. The gay allegations . . .

refer to a supposed tryst between a certain Shrub and a fellow Skull and Bones man who went on to become the mayor of Knoxville and (I believe now) ambassador to Poland. This nasty rumor has varying degrees of luridness, sometimes said to involve a secret ritual of the S&B initiation. Also, according to this tale, there are pictures, and the National Enquirer was set to publish them when *conveniently* their Florida headquarters was the target of the first anthr*x attack and their photo editor (!) the first fatality of those attacks, and their building permanently sealed with photos inside.

Now far be it from me to believe or spread such hideous character ass&ssin&tion. I think the pResident is a lying, worthless, shitsack pusbag from hell, but he damn sure ain't no GIRLIE-MAN (see Frank Rich's excellent editorial in today's NY Times, by the way, on the question of how the real sissy in this race came to be seen as the manlier candidate). After all, there's nothing WRONG with a man being gay, is there? And surely this was all before he was married, back in the days of his youthful indiscretions, if the awful rumors are to be believed. But even if there was something WRONG with it, even if being gay somehow undermined, let's say, the moral basis upon which human civilization has been founded, we still have no proof ANY of this is true, and as far as I know Kitty Kelley is certainly not reporting this story, since surely it cannot be confirmed.

No, we must take the high road and *denounce* such terrible smears and assaults on a good man's character, or even on the pResident's "character." We must denounce them loudly and often, insisting that we cannot lend any credence to the horrible innuendo circulating on the INTERNET, of all places, that the pResident is "queer" or "gay," except in the old fashioned sense of those words.

Join me, then, in DENOUNCING these rumors. Let there be no question of where we good democrats, the members of the party of the high road, stand on such matters. The pResident may be a drunk-driving, draft-dodging, AWOL, coke-snorting, car-pissing asshole, but he ain't no faggot.

19. I love political Repuke gossip, even if it isn't true

Just placed hold on copy at library!!

[Tangledog]

24. What's Kelley's track record?

I've never read anything by her and just know that she has written a bunch of books about who-cares celebrities, along with (I just saw this delightful listing on Bookfinder) Nancy Reagan: the unorganized biography.

Does she have any journalistic cred? Or is she someone that the right wing truth squadders will be able to shred without straining their IQs too much?

(Another Bookfinder listing was Nancy Reagan, president ven ade Verenigde Staten? Certainly a more provocative title than the American one.)

[wndycty]

25. Kick

:kick:

[spooky3]

27. check out her bio on Amazon.com.

[terrya]

26. I'll buy this book, anyway. This book is just what we need now.

More negative attention focused on Bush...just as the campaign is kicking into high gear. A distraction for Bush...he'll have to take some tough questions about the allegations in Kelley's book.

[Jack Rabbit]

28. It will get to the bestseller without DU's help

It's sure as hell isn't going to have mine.

[cthrumatrix]

29. watch it fade within a week...the liberal media will run from it
