I DEMAND A RECOUNT

· 🌡️ 75°F

The new Reagan diary outsold the Goracle's book by a total of 5 copies in its first week! Man, that guy can't win squat, can he? I claim foul play and as a Buffalonian I sympathize with Mr. Gore's inability to win.

Seriously - with an "inconvenient" running start and worldwide popularity, his ideas couldn't outsell 25-year old private diary entries. Spin it however you like, but that is a pitiful state of affairs. Maybe over time Mr. Gore's book will eclipse the Reagan one. When it comes to book sales, I'm always rooting for the guy that is still alive to spend the proceeds.

    That just means Reagan's book didn't have a mandate. The Gore book is just an "inconvient" reissue, no? That market is probably saturated. The bulk of the folks who wanted to read him did already. It's going to gestate until he makes in the inevitable run for Prez

    Ha - I appreciate the mandate crack! That was choice.

    Gore's book is primarily about the state of political and social discourse in our country and what is wrong with it and why, but during the course of the book takes typical liberal political assumptions as civic dogma. He's half right and half wrong. I could pick it apart but I won't bother - I'll just say that reading this book is like getting a great blowjob then at the last minute getting bit down on like you stuck your john in a blender.
