…or at least 1000+ of them do:

More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state Legislature, aides said.

And that is months before her book comes out.

But I shouldn’t make anything out of it since all of these really smart people think Sarah Palin is stupid. Her supporters don’t read books they’re just fringe idiots.

We’ll see who is laughing come spring.

in the Amazon.com ranking against actual conservatives like Michelle (still 8th after a month), Mark (still 33rd after 5 months) and Glenn (Still #7 after 2 months). Is to try to spice things up a bit:

Former DHS secretary Tom Ridge exposed himself as a weasel nearly two weeks ago when he allowed his publisher to gin up bogus book buzz with a false claim about the Bush administration pressuring him to alter homeland security alerts for political purposes.

He confirmed his weaseliness again in a USA Today interview published today, in which he walks back the sham allegation:

Remember when all the smart people told us Ridge was the man and Toomey can’t win.

What a difference a little time makes:

That’s two Nelson’s in two days!

Update: Of course there is always plan B.

I guess this is Newsweek’s article to celebrate Sarah Palin Day.

Why does Newsweek have an article arguing that the word “Cunt” is losing its sting and should be “reclaimed?” I think it’s because our liberal friends discovered it during the 2008 campaign.

The article itself in unexciting but has this hilarious conclusion:

And even though I question our squeamishness about the C word, I don’t believe we’ll be using it willy-nilly, at least not anytime soon. Despite my secret affection for the term and the women who say it, I just can’t bring myself to type it out here—and not just because NEWSWEEK, a family brand, helps pay for my daughter’s expensive private school. It’s still just too powerful

Oh Kathy Kathy Kathy of course it will be used. Democrats and Liberals will have need of the term for 2012 or 2016 so the campaign to excuse it has to begin now.

And if you don’t believe that this will happen or that it was a common opinion among the left or even feminists on the left. Dr. Violet Socks can recite chapter and verse to remind and admonish you that respect is not only for women you agree with.

Sam Tanenhaus the Senior editor of the New York Times Book Review has his own book on Conservatism coming out next Tuesday. The Death of Conservatism. He promoted it on Morning Joe today.

As of this moment it ranks #17,330 in Books on Amazon.com which means before release it has edged out Joe Scarborough’s The last best hope currently ranked #19,057 in Books

He must have been very busy working on this book, it must be taking time away from his duties from the New York Times Book Review since he hasn’t had time to review Culture of Corruption the #1 book on the best seller list for the last 4 weeks. (ranked #7 in Books on Amazon)

Or Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny (ranked #25 in Books on Amazon) 3rd on NYT best seller list.

Or Beck’s Common Sense (ranked #4 in Books on Amazon)

Or Dick Morris’ Catastrophe (ranked #43 in Books) 5th on the best seller list.

Maybe once he’s done with his book tour he can get around to having someone reviewing them.

You know it’s as if the Media chooses to ignore certain facts they don’t like or something.

Update: I guess PJ. O’Rourke will read it.

Update 2: Stacy links to another reader Rick Moran. Not sure if he has read or reviewed any of the above books either.
