Al Franken's book just cracked amazon.com Top 20

Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 11:34 AM by mark0rama

His "fair and balanced" book is now just one slot behind "Treason."

Did Fox really fail to anticipate this kind of a boost when suing him? Haven't they seen what they did for agitproperties.com? (Cackle)

3. Where's Hillary's book at?

Yikes!! I see it - slid down to #46.

That's not too bad, though. Looks to me like hers is still the highest ranking 3-star book on the list.

Go Hillary!
