Pelosi is a legend in her own mind.


SPEAKER OF THE FLOP: PELOSI SELLS 2,737 COPIES OF BOOK
Thu Aug 07 2008 08:11:48 ET

The most powerful woman in the history of American politics is suffering a humiliating defeat at the nation's bookstores, sales figures show.

In her first week at market, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sold just 2,737 copies of her book KNOW YOUR POWER, according to NIELSEN BOOKSCAN.

The DOUBLEDAY release was launched with a full media push, featuring high profile interviews on TODAYTHEVIEWTHISWEEK.

"I wrote the book in response to people asking me what it was like to go from housewife to House Speaker and for advice as to how young people, especially women, could balance family and career," Pelosi told the WASHINGTON POST.

Pelosi's sales debacle [#41 on the Non-Fiction Chart] is dramatically overshadowed by the first high profile anti-Obama book, OBAMA NATION, which debuts at #1 on both the BOOKSCAN and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List, with 21,466 copies moved, industry insiders tell DRUDGE.

"The speaker was pre-occupied with house business last week," a source close to Pelosi explained Thursday morning. "She has now turned her focus to promoting this extraordinary book... doing local signings and speeches. I think we'll see an uptick."

Well one of those copies will not be on my book shelf.

I'd like to buy one just so I could throw it away. The woman is satan!

LOL, if Pelosi, sold all 2737 copies at the non discounted list price of $23.95 on Doubleday she would have matched the auction price that a single copy of OJ's cancelled book "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer", sold for on ebay.

Pelosi got paid a $100,000.00 advance for the book...

OK, makes perfect sense, fits with her far-left ideals perfectly. Similar methods to those she uses to run the government.

She ripped off the liberal corporation doing business with her, and left them holding a huge financial loss.

And that doesn't even include whatever campaign contributions they tossed into her war chest.

I hope that publisher learns a lesson from this, but I doubt it. They'll be publishing Kerry's war memoires next.
