Culture of Corruption: #1 on NYT best-seller list for 4 weeks straight

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 26, 2009 06:36 PM

Got the news from my publisher this afternoon that Culture of Corruption will top the New York Times best-seller list at #1 for the 4th week in a row. You can catch me tonight around 9pm-ish Eastern on Hannity on FNC, where I launched the book a month ago.

Reminder that you can buy shattered O logo stickers/magnets and special edition Culture of Corruption trading card sets at Galt’s List thanks to Tennyson Hayes.

Thanks again for all your support and for continuing to spread the word!

And special thanks again to:

Matt Lauer

And Joy and Whoopi

    Congrats, Michelle! You are kicking butt! It must kill the NYTimes to put your book on that list! LOL!

    Will there be a volume 2 in another six months? I am sure we will need one!

    You must be doing something right Michelle. Last night I went to our local county library. I decided to see where your book was. There were about 15 Book on CDs, all on reserve or out, as were the 20 or so books themselves. Holds on the book went well into September.

    There is hope that people are paying attention. Good Job!!!

    My recommendation for Michelle remains to put the book into a loose-leaf, 3-ring binder format and to offer a monthly update subscription. Easier to keep up with all the players, and a great source of residual income to boot!

    Also, how fortuitous that I picked up a book on cd. Iwo Jima-Veterans Tell Their Story. I am spared all the tripe on tv today. These were the real “lions” of our society.

    Since MM’s book was unavailable at the library, I’ll breadown and buy it. I know it is worth it.

    Hmmm, maybe I’ll hold out for a book signing, hint hint….

    Heh, my own parents asked me if I’ve seen the book, and I was able to proudly tell them “No, but I’ve been following her website for two years now.” Not wo worry, I’ll get a copy of it soon enough, if only to compare how it stacks up against my own list of Obama mistakes and corruption.

    I’m postive we haven’t seen the worst of this Administration yet!

    Congratulations, again — but at the rate that the Obama administration is spontaneously generating new scandals, you may have to quit everything else and write sequels to this book full time, at least until this socialist joker is out of office.

    Is there a book signing scheduled for the Seattle area?

    Don’t waste your money. They won’t read it. Trust me on that. My moonbat brother is an example. I have tried to get him to read short, simple articles that explain the conservative view in very simple, logical terms. He won’t read anything I give him. You know, the old, “My mind is made up…etc.”

    I hate to be a bubble popper in the celebration, but there are a lot of liberal downers downgrading Michele’s book with their 1 star ratings so that her average goes down on Amazon’s website. I really wish that Amazon was better able to screen deliberately harsh reviews based more on partisan revenge than actual critical analysis.

    So, if anybody has an Amazon account and has read the book, counter Michelle’s 3 star average to bump it up more!!!

    Haven’t read the book myself but plan on picking it up after I read all the other books that I haven’t got to yet.

    All 103 1 star reviews are from people who haven’t read the book. They talk about Bill Maher and other things not related to the book. When you go to the review page, and you see the check box that asks ‘was this review helpful?’ – click no. And on the discussion page, of that review, find the comments where people state that the reviewer didn’t read – didn’t even buy the book, and see the ‘ 10 out of 11 people thinks this adds to the discussion, do you?’ question and click yes. It may do nothing, but it makes you feel better. After about 30 minutes of this, I’m only on page 20 of 25, and lost interest. Anyway, fight back, textually … its the only thing we can do.

    Congratulation Michelle. Thank you for all you do for our country and our military – including us Veterans.

    Got my copy this weekend at Costco. It was sandwiched in between a couple of no name books but at least it was available. They seem to display the leftist screeds very prominently but hide those written by conservatives.

    Well, what can you expect when you live on the left coast?

    Joy and Whoopi’s “support” is just about the best ringing endorsement your book could get, MM. I haven’t bought it, yet; I’m waiting in reserve until it slips from the top spot. Just when the libbies start rejoicing (because it fell from #1), I’ll help to burst their bubble!

    I have a better idea! Call it Absolute Power.

    Wait, that’s already been done.

    Okay, then, how about calling it Wag The Dog.

    No, wait, that ones been done, too.

    Okay, I guess your title is good.

    Maybe it’s because it’s selling well, but I noticed a week ago that there were no copies in an B&N store in Manhattan. Then yesterday, there was a single copy out on the table.

    Makes me wonder if someone at the store is deliberately trying to limit it’s exposure. A number of retailer in NYC actually had window displays mocking Pres Bush over the last several years. It makes little sense to alienate a large portion of your clientele, but I suppose radicals have priorities.

    Go figure.

    but Congrats Michelle! I’m going to pick up my copy today.

    BUY A COPY AND DONATE IT TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!!! There are over 100 holds for this book at my county libraries. And as a bonus when I was taking 3 copies in to donate I got to pi$$ off a guy from FairDistrictFlorida.org that was trying to get signatures on his petition. The people who want to ruin this country are always hanging out outside the library.
