Culture of Corruption stays at #1 for 5th week in a row

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 2, 2009 05:24 PM

Just got the news from Regnery this afternoon: Culture of Corruption is #1 on the New York Times best-seller list for the 5th week in a row.

Bottomless thanks again to all of you who have bought the book, shared it, spread the word, and used it as a resource to create real Hope and Change in America.

Newsbusters spotlights the MSM’s refusal to acknowledge the right-wing upheaval on national best-seller lists — and examines the Milk Carton Conservative Author phenomenon.

***

I’ll be on the Hannity show on Fox News Channel tonight to talk about Obama’s classroom campaign. Tune in at 9pm Eastern!

***

Some recent book-related interviews:

CitizenLink

The BCast

Radio GoDaddy

Fox Business — where my fellow panelists smugly shrug at the czar explosion and I am not amused:

C-SPAN (parts 2 & 3 are here and here):

    Michelle,

    You really should take a look into the corruption at Fact Check.org.

    CONFIRMED: Factcheck.org Published Bogus Fact Regarding Obama’s Kenyan Citizenship.

    That’s not the only fact that “Fact Check” got wrong…

    Fact Checking Annenberg Political Fact Check

    The importance of debunking Annenberg Political Fact Check cannot be understated, because members of Congress accepted Fact Check’s verdict.

    Here is the actual text of a letter I received from one of my Senators:

    Thank you for contacting me about President-Elect Barack Obama’s citizenship. I appreciate knowing your concerns.

    The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” Hawaii became a territory of the United States in 1898 and was officially admitted as a State in 1959.

    It is my understanding that President-Elect Obama has released an official copy of his birth certificate. Since he was born in 1961 in Hawaii, he is eligible under the Constitution to run for and hold the office of President of the United States. In addition, President-Elect Obama’s birth records have been certified and validated by the Hawaii Department of Health as well as by experts from the University of Pennsylvania. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case and agreed with the lower courts’ rulings that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the legal challenges questioning President-Elect Obama’s citizenship.

    Again, thank you for contacting me. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to let me know or visit my website at …

    The trusted “experts from the University of Pennsylvania” were Annenberg Political Fact Check!

    Earlier today SOMEONE mentioned a policy in Ill, if I recall correctly, that said teachers were encouraging students to bring books about Obama to school for the BIG Brother Obama message next week.

    Let’s hope they buy thousands of copies of ‘Culture of Corruption’ and have some real discussions!

    Awesome! I knew the book would do well, but five weeks on the top! Outstanding. The utter silence from the MSM is hardly surprising. It makes them crazy, and the more they attack (i.e. The View) the higher the book climbs.

    Congratulations Michelle. It’s working. Whatever you do, don’t stop now!

    I admired a lot of things about Nixon (I admit it), but he was one paranoid, secretive, and devious dude. When the left starts saying the things Obama does are no different than things Nixon did…well, it makes me wonder WHY they still support him. Is it pride–that they just can’t admit what a mistake they made? “Hey, our guy (Mr. Hope n Change, Mr. Transparency) is no WORSE than past administrations.” How can they forget that he (with their help) sold himself as being BETTER???

    PS – Michelle wrote a book? Do I have to go to some back alley to buy it??? I’m joking, of course, congratulations MM. But on a serious note, if the left had it’s way, books by conservative authors would only be available from an underground black market. Let’s not let that happen!!!

    Of course just kidding. You have done and continue doing more than most of our elected representatives.
    If we must live under a new ‘monarchy’ I would hail you as our Queen.
    Of course I’d rather compete against you on a field of a fair marketplace, with little or no input from Washington, or a State, county or ‘village’ for that matter.

    Why is Fox News the slowest connection in the world.

    My company has a guaranteed 60k cable connection (intentionally slow, but more than adequate for everything except Fox) the buffering is ridiculous tell Fox to stop catering to the big markets and open themselves up to a broader audience that pines for a voice but will never accept the stuttering discourse that causes us to say fuck it. We don’t need HD, we need vocals and we need those vocals to stream without interruption.

    BTW, my computer was purchased a month ago and there isn’t a game that it can’t run.

    I don’t play games, I just wanted a good computer.

    Something is wrong with Fox technology.

    Congratulations on the book’s success, Michelle! If there’s a silver lining to the dire straits our nation is in, it’s that you and some others are doing your best work right now. I will be purchasing and reading your book shortly. Personally, I have a newborn and toddler to chase around when I’m at home, trying to be a good dad and husband, and we’re all putting in extra hours at work and staying up late at night to keep our private sector businesses afloat. There’s really no way to thank you (other than buying the book), you’re speaking daily for a lot of us who (even with many GOP congressmen) don’t have a voice. We take time we don’t have to call and write them, and are ignored or dismissed by them as some type of extremists or freaks, while the other side has govt/soros-funded protestors out on the street being paid to protest in favor of govt actions that will destroy more private enterprise. I’ve had a lot of sad days and late nights awake wondering what I’ll do to support my family if the business I’m in fails (and it absolutely will if/whenever cap and trade is passed), but reading your blog and column (among others who are also doing tremendous work at this time) gives me a needed break from the loneliness that is wondering why someone would want to destroy this nation. You are a light in dark times.

    This slew of CONSERVATIVE WRITERS books being #1 is all the more amazing as so much of the MSM (aka LEFT WING PRESS)has ignored them at best. But Bill Maher’s little rant probably sold a few copies.

    People are hungry for the truth, a little decency and love of country-our country not the Chicago Mob’s. Missy Bitter Hussein Obama did alright at the public trough in this “downright mean country”.

    I bought Michelle’s CULTURE OF CORRUPTION book at Walmart for $19.34 yesterday and started reading it.

    This looks like a much “tougher read” than her other books. I didn’t realize how much detailed “follow the money” outrages exist already.
    ***
    Michelle must have moved on from Journalism to Investigative Accounting–but I am sure the research and backup on all this will be up to her usual high standards.

    Many of you already know this, but many others don’t.

    Truth be told, Michelle’s book has not been the #1 bestseller the last five weeks.

    Michelle’s book has been #2.

    The “Bestseller” lists never show the TRUE #1 best-selling book…

    The Bible.

    Week in and week out, more copies are sold of the Bible than any other book.

    So the “top 10″ lists should really be “top 11″ lists, with the true #1 spot always occupied by the Bible.
