Mary Cheney's book TANKS bad
Sales have dipped to about 500/week with less than 6k sold, it'll be impossible for simon and schuster to recoup it's $1 million advance.

Now we know why Ann coulter out there spewing venom from her crotch, the conservatives are panicking over collapsing book sales

2. great one
once again a Cheney is laughing all the way to the bank, hopefully this acts to make more and more publishers reluctant to publish conservative books for awhile

15. If there were, it would probably be here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/write-a-review.html/102-3433172-5959340?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=141652049X&store=books

Not that you would write anything there, or anything...

Here's a couple reviews:

"I picked this book up at the store and I returned it. I didn't even think it was possible to return a book. It's really a book about how to avoid actually having an opinion on a subject that directly impacts your life. It also spends more time slamming people who are actually attempting to secure the rights of gay people because they 'might' be against the administration. It is really sad. I hope the best for Mary. Maybe one day she'll come out with an opinion worth reading..."


"You had your turn and you BLEW IT! How about an apology. You had one of the greatest opportunities to change the world and you blew it. Thanks for nothing."


"This is a bitter vanity piece that contributes nothing. Way to take a stand when your father is retiring soon and they have nothing to loose.

The stuff about the Kerry debate remarks is laughable. Santorum compares you and your girlfriend to having sex a dog. Pat Robertson blames you, as a lesbian, for 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Keyes calls you an immoral hedonist. Dobson says that you are unfit to raise a child, etc. But when Kerry mentions your sexuality he is out of bounds.

This book is way worse than other conservative books because the author is such a hypocrite. I will be adding my copy to the used section vey soon."

5. As if anyone cares about that liar, that phoney...
And I bet, 50% of those purchases are by queer academics who bought the book in order to analyze her rhetoric. 6000? Ha.

7. Wow. I'm shocked. Really.
Edited on Mon Jun-12-06 02:50 PM by racaulk
Conservatives hate her because she's gay. Gay people hate her because she's a sellout. Liberals hate her because she has helped to enable *'s dangerous policies. Mary's not too well-liked in America from what I can see.

To be honest, I'm surprised that it has sold as many copies as it has. And I have money that says Dick, Lynne, and other members of Mary's family account for at least 5,000 of the books sold in an attempt to artificially exaggerate her book sales.

I hope Simon & Schuster learn a hard lesson from this one. Hateful rhetoric from a hateful hypocrite doesn't sell too well nowadays.


On edit: corrected a misspelling.

13. Indeed. Coulter's book deserves exactly the same fate.
I just hope that the two of them will fade into obscurity at some point in the very near future. That's exactly what they deserve. I can see Cheney disappearing, but I feel that Coulter will somehow be a thorn in our collective sides for years to come.

8. The question is how will...
...the publishers get paid back for this. They honestly couldn't have thought that a story about a lesbian woman's struggle in a GOP world would have appealed to Cheney's rabid fan base. $ 1 million advance for that? What sweetheart deal or contract will the government bestow on the company or its owners?

9. Gee, I'm all choked up.
Who the hell did they think was going to buy it anyway?

Not the Democrats.
Not the Repubs because she's a Lesbian.
Not the Gay Community because while working on Big Dick's behalf,
she stood silent while the Republicans trashed the Gay Community.

That evidently leaves fewer than 6,000 Morans who were willing to actually
spend money on it...minus all the copies that were bought by Cheney herself
and given away.

Like I said...I am all choked up.

17. Mary bears a striking resemblance to her 18% approval dad.
Could that be the reason for the lackluster of sales of her book?

18. Mary Cheney and Ann Coulter are lesbian lovers.
Everybody knows it, but it is being hushed up by the same mainstream press that treats Coulter as if she were an actual human being.

Of course, I have no PROOF that Cheney and Coulter are lesbian lovers, but I dislike them both, which entitles me to say anything nasty I want to about them. In fact, the truth is that Coulter is also a corporophagic fetishist who is into anal fisting (giving, not receiving), and who eats the brains of live monkeys.

Gee, if I were just a conservative hate-monger like Coulter, I could get all these accusations into the national media. But then, if I were a conservative hate-monger like Coulter, I'd have killed myself a long time ago.

Like she should.

19. Dick Cheney should do a book tour
go around city to city and threaten people in bookstores into buying his daughter's book.
