Ann Coulter's book is ahead of Hillary on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...059478-3302368
Hillary is #4 and Coulter is #3.
Ann doesn't show up on the top part of bn.com's list, however.

I guess she wasn't satisfied attacking all the current unpatriotic pinko liberals .... let's have a blast from the past and go after those who "destroyed" Sen. McCarthy:
" McCarthy had so badly stigmatized Communism, his victory survived him. In his brief fiery ride across the landscape, Joe McCarthy bought America another thirty years. For this, he sacrificed his life, his reputation, his name. The left cut down a brave man, but not before the American people heard the truth."
There are a lot of conservatives who can present their beliefs and opinions with intelligence, conviction, and class, but Coulter is not one of them. But then, intelligence and class never have been the criteria for having a best-seller.

There was another author who wrote a similar sort of thing about McCarthy a few years ago.
Agree, Hillary's book is #4.

Wow.... it took all of 4 minutes for the knee-jerk reaction!

Somehow, I don't think that when you click on Ann's book, that you see the link for "Customers who purchased [Ann's book] also purchased Hillary's Book." 
Obviously I am no fan of book burning, but if I was, these 2 books might be the first 2 I throw into the fire.

I don't believe the truth is in her either.

Speaking of Sen. McCarthy - Have any of you read the ever-growing number of revisionist history books (a couple I have read were written by Liberals) who defend McCarthy to varying degrees?

Oh, and it should be noted that Amazon's top selling titles page is in no way a gage of nationwide book sales. It mirrors the Publisher's Weekly and NY Times lists as often as it contradicts them. That Coulter or Clinton is ranked higher on this list at any given moment is essentially irrelevant in terms of determining overall sales of either of the books.

You think she heard about Gennifer Flowers, the Arkansa State Troopers, and every other bimbo, but honestly thought...."Now this time, I think Bill is telling the truth."
I think that speaks pretty highly for the most intelligent woman in America.
