Marketing Waste
Despite reports that Amazon has been deleting 1-star ratings, Nancy Pelosi's new book Know Your Power continues to bomb. Currently it is rated #1,402 at Amazon, as compared to Jerome Corsi's much more interesting The Obama Nation at #8. As Michelle Malkin notes,
With congressional approval ratings at an all-time low and the Democrat Congress under fire for taking a five-week vacation instead of working on energy policy, perhaps this wasn't the best time to send Nancy Pelosi jetting from coast-to-coast to tell our daughters how to save the planet, manage our households, and run our government.
Sorry, Nan. There aren't enough carbon offsets to compensate for this tree-wasting dud and its accompanying gas-guzzling, hot air-emitting publicity tour.
Maybe a little repackaging would help, so that customers can be made aware that Pelousy is sharing unique expertise. Via pBlakeney.com:
Sometimes waste is a good thing. Imagine the damage Dems would do if they applied their power competently.
On a tip from Burning Hot.

She needs to be serviced by a lesiban wearing a wire brush strap on. Maybe that would wipe that smirk off her face.

She kind of looks like the Joker from Batman.

I wonder if the unions are going to step up to the plate and buy thousands of copies... like they did for the Democrat Speaker of the House back in the eighties.

Amazon did, indeed, delete several hundred 1-star reviews. Quite a few of those were from legit reviewers who had many other reviews - not "plants" from right-wing groups, as Amazon said. The censorship is unbelievable. Notice, however, that despite their efforts at silencing the critics, the 1-stars are trickling back in.

Everyone better go out and hug the first large tree you can find and say "We're sorry".
How many innocent trees had to die for this work of fiction that doesn't sell? Someone stop her before she publishes again!

Nancy's telling our daughters to save the planet? What about the sons? Straight-up sexism!

I do NOT want to see her make a pencil disappear...

Amy Hill Hearth should be ashamed of herself.
We already know Nancy Pelosi has no shame. If the pictures are to be believed, neither does anyone else in San Francisco.

Nine percent Nancy is beneath contempt. People ALL OVER AMERICA are really hurting over high gas prices, and that sad excuse for a human won't even allow a vote. She's using OUR TIME (her vacation) and OUR MONEY to fly around (contributing to the Global Climate Warming/Cooling Catastrophe) to peddle a book no one will read.
If the public lets her get away with this, we have only ourselves to blame.
Let's turn up the heat on OUR EMPLOYEES. Let's be clear that if they don't want to work, we can FIRE THEIR SORRY ASSES.

At least Marie Antoinette didn't waste her time writing books explaining her culinary preferences.
