Exactly who would be the audience for Mary Cheney's book?
Gay bashing lesbians from oil rich families?

The Christian Righters won't buy it; they think she is going to burn, more than likely.

Gay men? Why in the hell would they want to read this crap?

Republicans? I doubt they give a flying rat's ass about Cheney's daughter...they are trying to keep their own kid's lawyers fees in check.

I can think of exactly four people that MIGHT read this book: Rush, Hannity, Anne Coulter, and Michelle Malkin.

Anyone else?

Was the publisher fucking whacked when they took this manuscript? I just see it as a lose/lose situation---bad press for the Cheney's---and money lost publishing this garbage.

Besides...one catty question...she is pretty rich...can she not afford a good haircut?

4. That accounts for about 12 sales
Not even enough to pay for the printing of review copies.

Can we say "R-E-M-A-I-N-D-E-R-E-D"?

7. Is there such a thing as Gay Masochism?
Maybe that explains Cheney and the Log Cabin Nimrods.

5. A great review is up now at
the Huffington Post. Bottom line: this book is a ghostwritten computer generated piece of shit.

11. The thrift shops I go to wouldn't carry a book by a known lesbian creep
I thought about that too: Goodwill? Nope. Salvation Army? Oh hell no!

Walmart? Doubt it. Target? Maybe, not sure.

15. I found Karen Hughes memoir at the Dollar Store next to the
Find a Word puzzles for a $. Yeah, her book was for sale for $1. Overpriced.

10. Scaife
Or any one of the other loon "angels" who fund the stable of rightwing shills. For the price of a book, they've secured the allegience of the (vice) president. Smart investment.

12. I caught five seconds of her on Larry King last night

and had to exorcise my TV set - her bad vibes were apparent in her eyes...

13. Same people who buy Coulter, O'LiesAlot & Hannity books
usually some rich bastard like Richard Mellon Scaife who bulk buys the book and then stores them all in a Self-Storage Unit in Hoboken NJ. No one actually reads the book but since there were a ton of bulk purchases it looks like someone could be reading it.

And Jeff Gannon - he just outed himself and he's a repuke suckup - maybe he might learn something from Mary

19. Large group
But they're not going to be caught dead reading any lesbian books. Might give them away.

20. why would Reagan's daughter rebel against him
but Cheney's daughter seems to love her father. A case study in family dynamics, crazy. He must support her, even though he is such a sadist at heart.

22. True. Mary is the one thing that makes me think Cheney might actually
be part human.
