Nancy Pelosi’s Book Bomb

PhotobucketWe should drop this bomb on the Iranian nuke sites!
Speaker Pelosi’s new book “Know Your Power: A Message to America’s Daughters” is tanking in the non fiction book market.

Just 2,737 copies sold thus far despite the full media blitz by the Speaker to boost sales.

Meanwhile, anti-Obama books are all the rage:

#1 on the Amazon list: “Obama Nation
#3 “The Case Against Barack Obama
#6 Dick Morris’s “Fleeced”

Recent comments left at the Amazon site describing the book may explain why sales are so flat:

  • “If this book doesn’t wake up Americans about the shallowness of the people in power, nothing will. Read this and tell me how it’s possible this person could wield the political power she does. Might be time to migrate to New Zealand.”
  • “A total waste of time and money. If you are thinking about buying this book, you’d get more enjoyment in tossing the money out the window of a car at 60 mph and watching it flutter in the wind rather than be tortured by the vacuous content of this work. Worst of the worst books I have ever read.”
  • “This book was extremely helpful. I am serious it makes a good door stop. It could also be used to be placed underneath your AC when its not evenly aligned.”
  • “I just finished reading this book. It was very hard to get through. I found it poorly written as well. With respect to what she wrote, I find none of it believable. “
  • “Actually full disclosure my (very liberal) sister bought it as a gag birthday gift. ..One of the most damning things I can say about any book is that I found myself day dreaming while I was reading it; I was that bored. I found it difficult be read because Speaker Pelosi has perfected the art of using a bunch of words but not actually saying anything.”
  • “I guess the real message to America’s daughters is “Don’t grow up to be an angry, bitter, botoxed anti-American liberal.”

Don’t worry Nancy. You can always force your Union buddies to buy this book by the crate and give out as souvenirs.

Most will be bought by her family and stuffed in the nearest garbage can. Gotta build up them sales.

That’s one way to save trees. The words “know your failure” with her picture on the front was probably not a good marketing move.

“Know your failure, Nancy Pelosi”, indeed.

A comment from Amazon: “A total waste of time and money.

Ha! That’s what I said to an airplane passenger with me soon after she was sworn in…she’s a vacuous individual–empty–nada–zilch–well, you get the gist. Personally, I wouldn’t have spent a penny on the book, or at least waited until it was used at Amazon–or, maybe for .50 cents at a garage sale, something like that.

TARGET PRACTICE?

You can use it instead of the Koran to keep from offending anyone.

(I was going to suggest skeet shooting, but it would just jam the launcher.)

Remember when they used to use Sears catalogs for toilet tissue? Remember when Sheryl Crow said we should only use one square? I think there is a usage for this book after all! We can save toilet paper, by using Pelosi’s book pages!

I seriously doubt that an intelligent utterence has ever crossed this woman’s lips. How could anyone expect anything she wrote to have any substance? I hope the poor suckers who bought he book send it back for a refund.

Now that is funny!!!! Yes, and do the country a favor and resign!

I guess she’s so empty-headed that she couldn’t see that coming with a title like that.

Yawn.

Politicians memoirs are nearly as tedious as those of pro athletes or motion picture or music celebrities.

Although Sir Alec Guinness has written a couple of completely charming volumes. And David Stockman’s book is quite good.

She is an idiot, period. So Edwards apparently came clean to Nightline, airing tonight, on his affair - which of course he denied vehemently last spring. Although he denies fathering her child but admits he has yet to take a paternity test. These folks are a basket of hypocrisy.

They have it for sale in Costco. They have one table that’s books only - fiction and non-fiction. Pelosi’s book isn’t in that section - it’s in the section where they have cookbooks, gardening and exercise books. Interesting location, if it’s supposed to be a political work…
