Said on Rachael's show sitting in for Keith that when Corsi's book comes out on the NY Times best
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 06:39 AM by EV_Ares
seller list, it will have an arrow beside it or be marked because of the bulk buyup by Matalin & the conservative organizations where they are saying this being @1 is dubious at best. Why don't they put an explanation out or if they know it is bulk buying, not allow it to be on the list. Hell, it shouldn't even have been allowed to be published in the first place with all the slander and lies.

I do not for the life of me see how James Carville can live with Mary Matalin. This is why I am suspicious of the DLC and people like him. They would rather have an insider from the republicans or democrats as someone like Barack or Dennis to just keep their power and their jobs in DC. There is no way I could stay with someone who was as loyal to Cheney, someone who could be loyal to someone who thinks it is ok to trample all over our constitution.

2. I can't look at Matalin.
She has joined a long list of Republican creeps (beginning with the Creep-In-Chief and his Evil Warlord) that induce rapid channel-changing the second their hateful faces appear on the TV.

Matalin and her kind are not welcome in my house.

3. Unfortunately, the dim bulbs will only hear NY Times bestseller list
and figure it's all true. Someone needs to write a NY Times bestseller about Corsi.

4. A dagger (†) indicates that some bookstores report receiving bulk orders.
The NYT needs to change it's reporting system where something like anything over a 10 book bulk buy would not count to elevate the book on the bestseller list. Bulk buys create an illusion of a best seller, not a reality. Bulk buys don't reflect at all accurately if anybody is actually reading the book. This loophole in the NYT bestseller list should have been closed a long time ago. The disclaimer pasted in the subject line above just isn't enough.

And with today's ability to electronically track sales, this shouldn't be a big problem.

8. Yeah, thanks, that is what they said, "a dagger" and yeah you are right, if they
have to put a dagger out beside the book, it should not even have a place as a @1 seller.

7. Cueball Is Soooooooo 90s....
I saw him the other day all but letting Bettamillion Bennett spin lies and bullshit about this screed and Carville looked "pussy whipped"...a total loss of both faith and credibility as a spokesman for not just Progressives and Liberals, but for Democrats in general.

The biggest elephant in that room was the fact that his wife was behind this slimejob and he didn't bother to disclose his relationship.

Also, be assured that Carville is still bitter about Hillary's loss...he knows his meal ticket back to the bigs is over.

I've long felt Carville was over-rated...living off the '92 election and hadn't done much since. He chose his bed to lie in and hopefully he'll be happy with the profits from this screed brings in. You now know who really wears the pants and is the breadwinner in that family.

9. Yeah, when Obama goes into the WH and with Cheney going back to the
hole in WY where he belongs, Carville and his wife (Matalin) will pretty much be out of favor in DC won't they.

10. They want Corsi on the talk shows
If his book is a "bestseller" then he is invited on all of the usual shows for interviews so he can splatter his shit even further. They do it with the likes of Coulter too. No one believes her books are actually bestsellers, do they? But this practice drags her out of obscurity and gets her (his?) ugly mug on the talk shows.
