How Much Do You Suck When You Can’t Even Sell A Book About Sarah Palin?

Apparently, there is a limit to how much made up material the public will swallow about a public figure, even if it’s Sarah Palin.

Despite massive publicity, two new books chronicling the Sarah Palin soap opera–The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin by veteran political writer Joe McGinnis and Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs by Bristol Palin baby daddy Levi Johnston–have gotten a lukewarm response from the buying public since their release on Tuesday. Hard sales numbers will not be available for a week but the rankings on Amazon and Barnes & Noble provide a good indication of consumer interest. The Rogue is ranked in the fifties on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Deer in the Headlights is hovering in the seven hundreds on Amazon and in the two hundreds on Barnes & Noble. Both books had weak pre-sale numbers as well with The Rogue in the high hundreds and Deer in the Headlights in the high thousands.

What’s the world coming to when the world isn’t buying books about Sarah Palin written by a dumb as a rock, habitual liar who knocked up her daughter and a creepy stalker who moved in next to her and got caught admitting that many of the stories in his book were unprovable? I blame the bias of the conservative media.
