Bitter Anti-Semitic Patholigical Hatred Sells, But Who's Buying?

Some months ago when Cindy Sheehan's book Not One More Mother's Child was launched, I noted that it had an Amazon.com Sales Rank that I think (I'm going by memory here) was in the mid 3,000s.

I'd since rather forgotten about Saint Cindy and her tome, until I noticed Goldstein mocked her latest batch of arsenic nuttiness this afternoon as he riffed of her latest post to Michael Moore's site:

“I would say 30,000 more or less have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis,” said George on December 12, 2005. Even if one accepts this very low guess-ti-mate by George, his policies have been responsible for ten times the 3000 deaths on September 11, 2001. By his own admission, he is ten times the terrorist that Osama ever was."

It isn't even worth the effort to rebut Sheehan anymore as she has become a sad parody of herself; the only hope I have is that the MoveOn.org/CodePink wing of the party will help her hold another March of the 29 before the '06 elections.

But all the same, I was wondering how her book sales were doing in the wake of her latest pronouncement. I'm not sure what I was expecting her Sales Rank to be.

I certainly expected something better than this:

113,488 yesterday, dropping to 153,267 today. Ouch. Was it something she said?

By way of comparison, Everyone Poops came in at 2,031 today, and The War Against Toenail Fungus came in at 41,338.

It seems like fewer and fewer people are buying her crap these days...
