Our first reaction was, “Really? Chuck Schumer wrote a book?”
Our second reaction was, “Hmmm. Surprised it sold that many copies?”
And our third reaction was, “This massive rejection by America’s literati may help explain why the New York Democrat’s always in such a pissy mood.”
The New York Post reports Schumer’s tale of stone cold sales:
“Politicos are snickering at the plight of Sen. Charles Schumer, who holds more press conferences than any other lawmaker but can’t seem to connect with the public. His book, “Positively American,” released in 2007, sold 9,000 copies in hardcover and fewer than 1,000 in paperback, according to Nielsen Bookscan, which tracks about 75 percent of the nation’s book sales. By comparison, Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” sold 1 million copies in two weeks.”
Far be it from us to doubt the New York Post, but we think its story contains a major error.
We don’t doubt that people are snickering at Schumer. We’re just not sure it has anything to do with his book.
