6. Almost a year ago Weiner was on top

Now he struggles to get to #5.

I dearly hope this is a harbinger for the year.

7. The economy must really be suffering

if the Bushies aren't even willing to bulk-buy their whores way onto the NYT bestseller list. Poor Ann Coulter. Poor O'Reilly. Poor Hannity. No more faux bestsellers. The unwashed masses with their grimy little fists full of pennies will actually have to buy their books. One at a time. As they never did in the past. No more warehouses full of Scaife-bought RWN books to hand out at fundraisers. And, yikes! The uber-satan Bill Clinton will have a book out soon. What is happening here? Smells like liberal spirit.
