What gives?


In the 20th September New York Times Book Review, the following non-fiction line-up in the Best Sellers list is this:

1) Culture of Corruption, by Michelle Malkin. President Obama and his team as tax cheats, petty crooks, influence peddlers and Wall Street cronies. (Number 1 last week)

6) A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O'Reilly. The Fox News commentator on his upbringing and career. (Number 5 last week)

7) Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin. A conservative manifesto from a talk-show host and president of Landmark Legal Foundation. (Number 9 last week)

And in paperbacks, Glenn Beck's 'Common Sense' is number one.

So what gives? I suppose, to be fair, the rants about Bush were pretty common and high up on the best seller list. I'd have to go back and see but not now....

I wonder who is buying the books. Could it be the people who want to know what those in opposition to Obama and the current administration are writing? Could it be those of us who care for people without health care, homes, jobs, etc. needing relevant quotes?
