Speaker Pelosi is making the rounds of the talk shows to promote her new book. According to Drudge’s headline, it debuted at #869. Considering that she’s the first female Speaker of the House, you’d think that it would start in the top 10 bestseller list. That’s pathetic for a history-making figure.

To put things in perspective, I don’t recall a Dick Morris book starting outside the Top 10. Ditto with Newt’s books. Ditto with O’Reilly’s books.

UPDATE: Rush just updated the story, saying that it’s now #899, dropping 30 places since Drudge posted the story.

1. My guess: only people from the 9% of voters who think Congress is doing a good job are buying it. The rest of us are too busy trying to drill for oil in our own backyards to be bothered with reading.

2. Well, theres a big disconnect between the popularity of Congress and the numbers in the polls showing Democrats should maintain the majority.

   If the country is upset with Congress, the Dems should be shaking. Im sorry but I dont really think they are, or need to be. Yet.
