skippy looks at books

what political books are on the amazon.com top 100 sellers today?

coming in at #2: al franken's lies and the lying liars that tell them, a fair and balanced (thanks for the publicity, bill o'reilly!) look at the right

close behind at #4: joe conason's big lies, the right-wing propaganda machine and how it distorts the truth (hey, we're still waiting for our copy to review, joe!)

steady at #15: jim hightower's thieves in high places, they've stolen our country and it's time to take it back

down to #23: annthrax coultergeist's treason: liberal treachery from the cold war to the war on terrorism

moving up to #34: murray weiss's the man who warned america, the life and death of john o'neill, the fbi's embattled counterterror warrior.

steady at #41: greg palast's the best democracy money can buy: the truth about corporate cons, globalization and high finance fraudsters

falling to #51: hillary clinton's living history

entering at #57, the not-yet-released molly ivins epic bushwacked: life in george w. bush's america

still hanging in there at #61: michael moore's stupid white men...and other sorry excuses for the state of the nation!

at #63: how ronald reagan changed my life

at #65: beyond iraq: the next move..ancient prophecy and modern day conspiracy collide

at #85: all the shah's men: an american coup and the roots of middle east terror

and bringing up the rear at #98: al franken, again, with rush limbaugh is a big fat idiot: and other observations

we tried to be fair, (and balanced!) and so we included all the rightists' books as well as the lefty's! and two observations come to mind:

first, there are far more lefty books on the list, and higher up the list, than rightists' books.

and secondly, when they wrote these titles, hadn't any of these authors ever heard the saying less is more? do they get paid by the word on the cover? hillary's the only one who had confidence in her ability to write a title!
