Thank you! Culture of Corruption at #1 on NYT list for second week

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 12, 2009 10:42 PM

Got word this afternoon that Culture of Corruption has held steady at #1 on the New York Times best-seller list for the second week in a row. Still have a long way to go to match my friend Mark Levin’s amazing success, but the response to the book has been humbling and heartening. Sean Hannity generously mentioned the book’s placement on the NYT list tonight in our segment on the continuing taxpayer revolts across the country (vid at Hot Air) — and I do think he’s right: There is a clear relationship between the rise of grass-roots conservative activism and the resurgence of best-selling books on the Right. Knowledge is power.

Many of you have written about bookstores being sold out of CoC across the country. Reader M. wrote:

I work at Borders in Alameda, CA. We got 10 copies of your book in and I planned on snagging one at the end of my shift but when I went to grab it off the shelf, the section was empty. We sold all 10 in a space of eight hours.

We have 25 more on order, but now I have to wait to read it!!

It’s definitely a good problem to have. Rest assured: Regnery is furiously re-supplying shelves and getting books through the pipeline.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support — and for continuing to spread and share the word.

    I’m not surprised it’s selling so well. With Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin does the investigative journalism the mainstream media willfully refuses to do.

    The American people are not stupid. They know who’s trying to reveal the truth and who’s deliberately trying to obscure it. Congratulations MM on another top bestseller!

    Congratulations Michelle. They say timing is everything but in your case, this book brings facts to the readers we have never seen. The MSM will not do the research on these people, I am glad you did!

    *Congrats Michelle; I’m about halfway through the book, and man, it sure goes from bad to worse, kinda like P-BO’s term in office!
    *And that cover in expanded form with just the title and picture would make an excellent poster at a townhall or tea party event.

    Dear MM,

    Yeah, yeah. Big deal.

    How many Twitters do you have? Huh?? Huh?

    Thought so.

    Signed,

    PS – The book I wrote has more pictures and is much easier to read.

    Have had the book for a few weeks now; however, I didn’t have time to read with my classes and all. Two of my classes end tomorrow and the next one begins the week of the 24th. So, I’ll have the week of the 17th to read through it. I’m psyched!

    I want my version to be enlarged to 20 x 30 with little flip out legs, to turn into a real coffee table book. That way when my libtard relatives come over for tea and arugula, they can’t miss it. (Hat tip to Cosmo Kramer)

    I checked our local library system and the holds on your book is 79. I went to Amazon and ordered 3 copies to donate to the library.
    Congrats and keep up the good work!

    Also saw you on FOX-N-Friends and what was that girls point about etiquette? All she did was prove she will not allow you to get your point across by talking over you! And she is as class-less as the rest of them!

    Congrats Michelle! I did see something interesting in Time mag (rag) this past issue. The exhange that you and brainless Behar had on the View was quoted; and her response to your question as to whether she had read your book; **that she had read “some” of it**, was followed by the statement that this was her response during the interview with you, when she “sharply” questioned you during the interview; making Behar sound like Mike Wallace. My recollection is that you handed Behar her head during that exchange. But not according to Time.

    Continued success on your book!

    I would guess Bill Maher’s slam was good for some sales. In #1 we went from Mark Levine to Glen Beck to Miss Michelle-I do believe Botox Nancy missed #1 by several points ;) There does seem to be a hunger for Pro Decency, Pro America reading–luckily we have the writers willing to step up. I pre-ordered several copies to spread around.

    Well Done Miss Michelle and all of us should send a thank you note to Bill Maher.

    This is a great way for anyone to “make a difference” and “get the word out”.

    (As long as the library staff actually puts the donated books into circulation…)

    I did the same thing with Becks book cause his hold list was over 150. Waited a week and they still didn’t show up on the shelf. Sent and e-mail and the Librarian call with some “expanation” and the books suddenly appeared the next day! Funny how THAT happens.

    Border in Holyoke, MA doesn’t seem to think so: no 30% discount for being on the bestseller’s list.

    I finally found the book at the bottom of a shelf, but only ONE, which might indicate that it is selling at full price even in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts!

    Finished it last night. I will be passing it on to others. Congratulations!!

    p.s. My wife read parts of it and passed on her recommendations to her family on the Filipino telegraph aka Facebook. Soon thousands of Yupangcos and Buktaws will be buying and reading your book!
