Culture of Corruption hits #1: Thank you!
Scroll for updates…4th printing, 300,000+ copies now in print…

On July 27, we launched Culture of Corruption on the Sean Hannity radio and tv shows.
Tonight, Sean announced that the book will debut at #1 on the New York Times best-seller list for the week of August 16. (Vid at Hot Air.)
It happened without a single review in a mainstream newspaper — unless you count this sneering Washington Post blog post that regurgitated Bill Maher’s attack on the book and on conservative authors.
I wrote in the acknowledgments section of the book that no author is an island. My family makes everything I do possible. The Regnery and Eagle Publishing teams have done a terrific job. My colleagues at Fox News, Hot Air, fellow bloggers, talk show hosts across the country, and Twitter followers have been incredibly supportive. Whistleblowers like Anita MonCrief provided invaluable insights and inspiration. Mark Steyn and Mark Levin wrote generous blurbs for the back cover. Creative genius Tennyson Hayes designed the amazing cover art, trading cards (stay tuned for more on those), and shattered O stickers/magnets that are popping up on car bumpers.
Most importantly, so many of you went out and bought the book; told your friends, family, and co-workers about it; and are using the information to enlighten others — and spur activism for real Hope and Change.
The truth about Team Obama is getting out there. There’s been a tectonic shift in the political landscape. This is just the beginning.
This Noted Oriental and undercover HORE thanks you!

Never a doubt, Michelle! Congratulations.
NO Thank you for getting the TRUTH out and sticking to your guns! We appreciate you more than you know.
Congratulations!
Great job, Michelle! We’re proud of you!!!
Michelle, millions of kudos! You are an excellent writer, blogger, conservative, and human being. Congratulations.
Congratulations MM! You deserve this and more…I have been following your work for years and you are definitely a fine wine…
Anxiously awaiting the delivery of my book! Congrats Michelle!! Well deserved, plus the added bonus of sticking it to the NYT!!
Congrats MM :thumbsup:
Congrats again Michelle. Please thank your family for me.
I have purchased the book; but saving it for when I go on vacation next month; so I can give it the full attention it deserves.
*Congrats Michelle; I’m reading the book at present; It is quite in depth and revealing; I may be too kind when I refer to those in D.C. as rat bastards.
*This book may be the watershed needed for people to see how incredibly corrupt they are in D.C. and how we as citizens must now tear it out by the roots, get some new blood in there on a wholesale level, give them a copy of the constitution, and say, “here is your mandate”.
*Independent of Party, United for Liberty
Congratulations, Michelle! I’m so proud of you!
You’ve played a huge part in bringing about that “tectonic shift in the political landscape”. Thank you for persevering.
Got mine first day, checked back at the barnes and noble at Rainbow and lake mead in las vegas they only had two copies left in the whole store.
How many they had stashed in the back I do not know.
Michelle,
You acquitted yourself valiantly and eloquently. You did not allow them to get you off message with inane questions and assertions, such as the woman who said that Bush still has not fixed the trailers damaged by Katrina. Rhetorical Aside: Why in God’s name is the President of the United States, be it Obama, Bush, or Lincoln, responsible for repairing trailers???
You are a dynamo of Conservatism. You embody it. God bless you!!!
Excellent! I have my copy and plan to read it next week while on vacation (after I finish Beck’s book).
A well deserved success Michelle.
Thank You for all you do.
I bought your book a few days ago at my local Walmart. I am in the process of reading it before I have to start back to school. Well, done, Michelle! Keep up the good fight!
An excellent book! Congratulations on a fine piece of work. Thanks to you, many more people will understand what is happening to this country.
Great work on a much needed topic.
I can’t wait to give my copy! YAY Michelle!
As so many others have said thank you for all the hard work you put into your research and in presenting the facts to us. I have your book, have begun reading it and I find your writing to be just like you, awesome and unpretentious. Keep fighting the good fight, you inspire and inform us, all in the same breath.
But according to everyone here, they are just a bunch of dirty liars. So should I really take it to mean it is somewhere around 27th?
So my son and I took off for the nearest barnes & Noble today in my Dodge Hemi, 345HP, 4×4 pickup (all 10mpg of it) to do a few things:
1- Pick up a copy of Michelle’s book
2- Pick up a copy of Mark Levin’s book
3- Pick up a copy of WEB Griffin’s newest book.
4- Laugh at people paying $5 for an over-roasted, over=priced cup of coffee at thgeir Starbucks.
Found Mark’s book right up front by the door where new releases usually are.
Found Griffin’s book at the next front table.
Found plenty of nitwits buying over-prices coffee to laugh at.
Could NOT find Michelle’s book! Found numerous books by and about “The One” right up front, though. Now wehere could Michelle’s book be, I thought? Big table right there for the top 10 Best Sellers, but nope – Michelle’s book was not there!
So we mosyed over to the Customer Service desk and asked an obvious Obama voter (you could tell the way she looked down her substantial nose at people asking questions) and inquired just where I might find a number one Best Seller that wasn’t with the rest of the Best Sellers.
Not able to hide the sneer, she said “it’s up on the second floor in the ‘current events’ section”, and promptly found another person with better taste to help.
Harumph! Harumpf!
Found the equally snooty manager and registered my complaint and handed him the other 2 books I was GOING to buy and walked out the door. I later found both at my local BJ’s for 40% less than B & N. I was told they would probably have Michelle’s book in a few weeks. From now on, B & N can kiss my butt.
Congrats, Michelle!!!!
So glad you can keep your sense of humor in the face of all the liberal bitterness.
A sense of humor is so rare in the Asian/Black/Oriental/Whitey/Married/Single/Lesbian/Rightwing Pimp/Hore community.
Keep the investigations rolling…we need you at our back!
Drudge FLASH:
Please call your Senators and tell them that they cannot vote to confirm Sotomayor until they Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States and put to rest the doubts that the Supreme Court itself acknowledged exist about Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to hold the office of President!
LIE: If Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Hawaii, then he is undoubtedly a “natural born citizen” and Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President and Commander in Chief.
TRUTH: The United States Supreme Court, in the 1885 case of Minor v Happersett made it clear that the 14th Amendment (by then part of the Constitution) defines citizenship and does not define “natural born citizen“-ship. The Supreme court had doubts that a person in Obama’s situation (born to a foreign father who was never a U.S. Citizen) could be considered a “natural born citizen”. Therefore they had doubts that a person in Obama’s situation could be Constitutionally eligible to be President and Commander in Chief.
It is now necessary to confirm the details of Obama’s birth and resolve these doubts.
To “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” and put this issue to rest, two very simple, very reasonable things need to happen:
1) Congress must personally inspect a certified copy of Obama’s original birth certificate, sent to them under seal directly from the State of Hawaii. (Just as was done with the certification of the Electoral College vote)
2) Congress must ask the Supreme Court to clarify the meaning of the Constitutional phrase “Natural Born Citizen”, so that it can be clearly seen whether or not Barack Hussein Obama II is Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President and Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces.
congratulations michelle! i just watched your immigration debate with geraldo again. still waiting for his #1 book! ha!
WTG Michelle … my heart-felt congratulations to you on the latest book success … watching the replay of Hannity with you right now … perfect timing …
Nice work, Michelle. Hopefully that burns the NYT’s britches just a wee bit as they watch their own sorry coverage lose market by the day …
With the conviction of Rep. Jefferson, I wonder how many revisions will be added to the next printing. The book could keep on growing over the next four years like Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.”
Way to go, Michelle! Keep up the great work!!!
No, thank you.
For everything.
CONGRATULATIONS! WOOHOO!!
Congratulations!
With all of the high (and sustained) ratings for conservative books these days, one must wonder when the libtards will conclude that they may have been premature in giving last rites to the conservative movement.
Michelle,
Congratulations on your book sales.
But please answer this question:
How can you write a book on Obama’s Culture of Corruption, and then look the other way when the only “birth document” for him is a forgery, produced by and at his Chicago Campaign Headquarters, and shown only to a small, controlled, unelected, unaccountable, untrustworthy, Annenberg-connected, third party?
Obama has never released a birth document directly from the State of Hawaii.
Doesn’t that seem a little “fishy” to you?
How can you overlook this and the Supreme Court’s own doubts about whether a person in Obama’s situation could be considered “natural born citizen”?
It’s not just about whether nor not he was born in Hawaii. It’s about whether or not he is concealing something (like his adoption by Lolo Soetoro) commiting fraud in the process.
And most importantly, it’s about supporting and defending the Constitution, which requires “natural born citizen”ship (meaning born on U.S. soil to TWO U.S. Citizen parents) in order to hold the office of President.
I just don’t understand how you can overlook this!
You’re too smart to not understand that there are serious Constitutional legal issues here, and that it’s not just some kooky conspiracy theories about a Kenyan birth certificate! Even if Obama had been born in the Oval Office he would not have been born a “natural born citizen” because his father was never a U.S. Citizen. How can you not get that?
Big congrats to you, Michelle.
Bravo!!! Well done, Michelle. Keep making us proud.

I’ll buy a book from B & N just as soon as Volvo wins the Daytona 500.
Bruce,
In your situation, I would have considered another approach … give them a helping hand by going upstairs, getting a couple of armloads of Michelle’s books, taking them downstairs, and putting them with the rest of the best-sellers, perhaps in front of them. If that gets their goat, all the better.
I bought my copy this evening at Costco. They had it piled next to Mark Levin’s Liberty & Tyranny, which is next on my “too read” list after I polish off Glenn Beck’s Common Sense.
Jeez, when am I going to get back to Liberal Fascism, The Looming Tower, White Guilt, America: The Last Best Hope, and all the others I’ve bought, but never had a chance to read due to time constraints? A half-dozen people read my copy of Ann Coulter’s Godless and I never got past the first chapter before it when on the loan tour. (I did finish Guilty, though, and Mark Steyn’s America Alone.)
ITookTheRedPill = Birther nutcase. (More likely Koz Kid running a false flag op to gin up more “them conservatives is crazy” evidence. Begone!)
Bleh, thanks a lot Michelle. You have added another one of the books I want to buy to my list. Oh well, I think I can get over it.
Congratulations on being #1!!!
Congratulations Michelle! And thank you, for being so diligent and tenacious in your pursuit of the truth. We are all so very blessed to have you fighting on the front lines in the struggle for liberty. God bless you and yours.
@ITookTheRedPill, what the hell is wrong with you? This is not the time or the thread for your hysterical rant. You didn’t take the red pill, you took too many of the orange barrel shaped pills.
Thank YOU Michelle.
You are a true American.
Got your book, plan to buy a few more for friends.
From the Wash. Post:
Such a crude statement from such an enlightened, unbiased publication. Really curious. So out of character for the Post.
A tad jealous of success and fearful of truth, perhaps?
RE: Cold Cash Jefferson, et al:
Maybe you could come out with a 3-ring binder edition of the book??
That would make it easier to keep it up to date during the next 3 1/2 years.
For instance.
Congratulations!
Congrat mm from a suppose nazi like san fran nan called me. God bless and keep writing and maybe i’ll be writing like you soon.
Congratulations Michelle, and thanks for a great book! Not to sound over-dramaculus, but the Republic thanks you as well.
Where would we be without MM’s investigative efforts?
She’s awesomely awesome.
I jumped the gun earlier last night! Here’s a re-post of my earlier comment.
When the clowns in DC real get their groove on, I usually comment with a link to Judy Collins’ Send in the Clowns. For this new book, I’ll use a different link.
Congratulations again, God Bless you and your family.
Congratulations, Michelle!
Thanks for all you do.
I have your book, Invasion.
I look forward to reading Culture of Corruption.
I bought my copy at the B & N in Clearwater FL. The book was predominantly displayed at the front of the store on the best sellers table.
Michelle, I don’t comment a lot, but your site is the first place I go every day, and HotAir is second. I know I will get the well-researched and honest truth from you and those who work for you.
Just remember, when you get the nasty reviews and horrible e-mails that, for every one of those, there are thousands of us out here that love you and support you.
Well deserved honor. But we already knew you were No. 1!
Well said USAF4Life!
Michelle just tweeted she’ll be on Fox and Friends (FNC) in a few moments.
Congrats Michelle on a great honor and I predict that your book will be at the top for a while despite the lack of “journalists” reviewing it.
GSP
Zorro …
For this celebration I like my buddy aj’s favorite link better …
Hip Hip Hooray! Michelle’s #1
Michelle was awesome … as usual … on F&F this morning …
Congratulations Michelle,this is great news. We are all so proud of you,and the great work you do informing people about the truth.I haven’t gotten my copy yet,and I’m sure a lot of other interested people haven’t either,so future sales should be high.I hope your book stays at #1 for a long time.
congrats Michelle!! I just wish my military exchange had your book on the shelve..they don’t have Glenn Beck’s or Mark Levin’s book but they sure do have dear leaders book and to boot they have the spanish version on the shelve….censorship at a military exchange??
Maybe a book tour of military exchanges is in order? Just make sure you hit the one in OKC please….
These days the best accolade you can get is Bill Maher slamming you.
This Noted
Orientalcraker andundercover HOREunemployed SOB thanks you!You’re welcome, thank you, congratulations, and attagirl. Must be an awesome feeling. It’s going to be a big task to keep track of all the fishy well-dressed racist astroturfing Republican extremist mob-operatives who bought the book.
Congratulations!
Congrats, Michelle. My copy should be coming in today.
Congratulations, Michelle!
Matt Lauer speechless. WOW! You are the greatest. And on “The View”! This is amazing. Such a great set-up for Palin’s first post-governor public appearance. Hope she can do as well as you have done. Can’t thank you enough!
When Matt asked you how you dare attack Michelle Obama…..PRICELESS! Thank God you are a female and “Oriental”
Funny thing is I knew all of this before you wrote the book, just not the specifics. I wonder if you could write a similar book about the entrenched Republicans in Washington? I only ask because the “left” can’t look at both sides of this issue.
Congratulations Michelle! Keep up the great awesome work!
Have I implicated myself enough in my above posts to get reported to the White House?

HI DIRKBELIG #36–we seem to have the same taste in books–I will be buying Michelle Malkin’s Obama expose (aka telling the truth) soon.
***
Read the AMERICA–THE LAST BEST HOPE books–this history of the U.S.A. is one of the best I have read in my 68 years of life. The insights into the sources our country’s greatness are awesome. This should be on the reading list for middle school history or government classes–if they still teach them.

Dust it off and enjoy!

Congratulations, more proof that more and more Americans are not being taken in by the MSM. Keep up the good work.
What? No congrats from edelweiss? lgm? Buehller?
Thank you Michelle for doing tireless work.
Well done Michelle! I can’t wait to read the book!
Most of this info has been available since before the campaign and yet dead silence from our great American investigative journalists. Bueller ? Ha! Ha!
Now the investigative journalists have something to do. Disprove this offensive book! Ha!Ha! again!
I’m proud to have helped, and since I know a few people who would benefit from this book, I’m going to continue to buy a few more copies.
Ha ha! That line cracks me up. “Hore”. Oh man, that’s funny.
Congrats, Michelle! I haven’t gotten my copy yet, but it’s in the queue.
Keep the pressure on!
Congrats Michelle! That didn’t take long.
Also, thank you for keeping up the good fight for the mob/chattering classes.
“We so happy! We love you long time!”
Congratz Michelle. What’ll be cool is if all the View audience members that got a free copy will regift them at Christmas time to all their liberal friends. You may have started a conversion Tsunami with that nice gesture.
Thank YOU for exposing the core of the Obama administration.
That is great news, this is such an important work that I hope more and more people will read it.
The Obama victory over Captain Amnesty sure is profitable.
“We’re screwed 08!”
Congratulations Michelle Malkin. My Christmas list is going to be a lot easier this year.
Let me add my congratulations also Michelle. I picked up the book at the Marine Corps Exchange yesterday. I have not cracked the cover yet, but I’m looking forward to it.
Woo hoo! Congratulations, Michelle! You just know whoever complies the NYT bestseller list must be crying in his Bud Light.
I meant “compiles.”
.
Congratulations on a book well written, and a job well done.
Although I don’t comment here very often, I read you almost daily. If I ever get the chance to ask you to autograph my copy, be sure I will do so.
Keep fighting the good fight Michelle,
God Bless
Congradulations, Michelle. Very well done.
I can’t imagine how wonderful it must be to have a book #1 on the best seller list. Good for you!!! Will we see it on Oprah soon?
With books like yours flying off the shelves, you would think the left would get clue. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt and the majority of Americans really aren’t very happy with the Democrats.
Congrats MM, you more then hold up your end of the OAR…
Has the NYT actually reviewed the book? I understand they avoid doing so for people the do not care for. I am sure it must really gall them to even have to put the book ON the list at all.
Ooooops. Got it. No NYT review. When they get around to it you just KNOW it will be a negative review.
Woohooo… I can’t wait till I have time to read it.
I believe the WH is getting a little panicky about now.
Great Job! Keep it up.
New socks for the kids this year! Just kidding – I have no idea how you get so much done in a day.
Wow. That was incredibly poor taste.
Thumbs up and I’d love to see your book sit at #1 for months, just to tick off those that refused to review it!
Point taken, although that might be difficult considering I have to use a cane to get around:)
As for the View audience … I dare say few of those nutroots would bother to take a proffered copy of Michelle’s book – even though free. Same would go for the idiots who wait a year for seats to Oprah.
Yeah, what was the point of that?
Gee, I could have sworn that my dictionary has a “W” in the word whore, but……maybe the dhimmicrats just refuse to see that letter anymore….hmmmmmm
MM, I had NO DOUBT! I’m supposed to go to Barnes and Noble tonight to pick up my copy….
