1. Well, like all good grifters, she took advantage of her flash-in-the-pan status.

Then took off with all her money.

[marmar]

2. That's $2.59 too much.

3. I paid more for "Free Lunch" last year at Big Lots n/t

[Javaman]

4. huh, cheaper than a door stop. nt

[Tennessee Gal]

5. LMAO!!

[rurallib]

6. 100% can't come soon enough

eta - if they come down to their true value - $0 - I could burn some in my fireplace for heat this winter.

[FSogol]

7. Hey suburbanites: That's cheaper than Duraflame fire logs!

Heat your home this winter with the printed hot air emanating from America's most famous grifter!

[Avalux]

15. Great tip!!! I think I'll go pick some up to burn in my chiminea.

Of course it needs to cool off here first! :D

8. Just like mood rings and pet rocks.

Failin has become last week's news. Look for her shit on the clearance rack at the Dollar Store from now on.


I am glad to see it happen. This time next year the losers who used to be her groupies will be saying "Sarah who?" .

[HughBeaumont]

9. They should pay ME to take that off their hands.

I needs KINDLIN'!!

:)

18. even before the liquidation you could've gotten away with that at Borders

managers were supposed to just give you what you wanted if the customer squalled enough--so things were going out the door at 40% all too many times
and customers would just stay away until there was a 30%-off-everything day
and the company was run by mental patients

[progressoid]

10. 25 cents at Goodwill

[bengalherder]

11. This book is already in thrift stores.

Saw it at StVinnie's for $1.99.

[guitar man]

12. That might be a good deal

I'll have to do the math later and see how it stacks up "per sheet" against the Charmin I usually buy :spray:

[Scurrilous]

13. ROFL

:thumbsup:

[gratuitous]

14. Is our publishers learning?

You can bet that half-gov's agent negotiated a "no backsies" book contract, and the full advance paid by the publisher is long gone. Did the publisher negotiate a "no backsies" distribution contract with book sellers? Someone's getting stuck with these tomes and their ridiculous cost, but it isn't the author.

17. Hey now, publishers need to put food on their families too!

Food me once, sham on vu, food me twice...a tool can't eat food.

[Rex]

16. HA!

[sabrina 1]

19. Once Rove gave her the thumbs down,

she was out. And the usual money poured into buying up stacks of the trash 'written' by the far right's 'stars', like Coulter eg, probably will go elsewhere now.

I notice Coulter seems to be back, AND criticizing Palin.

It wasn't a bad run though. She made millions which was all she really cared about anyhow.

[lunatica]

20. If she hadn't grifted so hard she would still be popular

But even the teabaggeratti know when they're being had.

[BR_Parkway]

21. They might have sold more if they'd printed it on rolls...

[spanone]

22. when they pay me $2.99 to take it, i'll still refuse to touch it

23. 'The Book of my Enemy Has Been Remaindered' - by Clive James

The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I am pleased.
In vast quantities it has been remaindered
Like a van-load of counterfeit that has been seized...
