Ann Coulter's Book Sales Down

Portfolio:

Though never exactly shy, Ann Coulter has been especially noisy in her self-promotion lately, inventing a beef with NBC News, arguing with Keith Olbermann over the meaning of a Cornell degree and taking her act on the road with Bill Maher as foil. Could it be because she's worried she's losing our attention?

Coulter's latest book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, is something of a misfire by Coulterian standards. Of course, what constitutes a disappointment for Coulter would be a mega-hit for most authors; in its two months on sale, Guilty has sold 100,500 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan (a number that only reflects around 70 percent of actual sales).

The reason they are not selling is because once you have read one of her books, you have read them all.
Same stuff, different day.

You have to be a little bit careful about stories like this, book sales are going to be down in certain areas anyway and you know this kind of thing just motivates her. If you want to attack Ann Coulter go after the fact she's childless. It strikes me she's like the kid at school who says outrageous things to get noticed and intimidate others, who never grew up. She's never had to take the responsibility of having a family, deal with the human frailties in herself (by being a mother) or in her children. Never come to realise that there are more important things in life than your own ego, never had to give up her own self-indulgence to look after others. You bang on about that long enough and she'll crack...

Excuse me, lots of us out there have chosen to be childless.

It doesn't make us ANY of those things- selfish, egocentric, self-indulgent, immature, etc. Ann is all of those things, but being childless has nothing to do with it.

These are good points, but in order for a person to crack, they must have a heart...she doesn't have that...she is plain evil. There is not one good quality about her. I'd like to see Jon Stewart go at her like he did with Cramer...now that would be fun to watch!

[Knowitall]

I think the fact that this woman doesn't have any children proves that there really is a God.

Maybe lipstick fascism is falling out of vogue....

[Ellyllon]

Aw....

Coulter will try to blame her lagging sales on anyone but herself and her lack of talent. This includes the liberals and progressives who weren't willing to buy her book. Her sales don't reflect the numbers of the Republican party ranks so they aren't buying it, either. Her book numbers are probably giveaways to certain churches, freebie raffles, handouts on the talk show circuit, and libraries, Certainly no real revenue from the book to squirrel away in off shore accounts.

She can join "Dancing with the stars" next years..with Rush as her couple...

[JScott]

Next stop the giveaway bin at the local public library, after that it's the shredder.

[huffyfan2]

I thought the GOP bought her books in bulk, I mean that is how she makes the #1 spot.

[bija]

I guess the Republican party is too distracted these to buy thousands of her books just to make her look good. It is hard to believe any normal people would buy them.

[ljp]

Yay! Maybe people are finally getting the message...

[Zeroes]

Duh...at some point all books sales are down...

Stock market up today; Ann Couter's ratings down.

Sun's out; spring is on it's way.

Zipiddy doo dah, what a wonderful day.

It's morning in America

Is there a more dis-likable female in this Country?

[doriath22]

Waste of perfectly good trees

[ProfessorDuh]

How unutterably sad. I'll grieve over that on long winter evenings.
