Yeah, part of the reason I’m laughing is because I pointed out to folks that the reason it was on the bestseller list while also being simultaneously offered for free or at massive discounts on every conservative website was because the majority of the purchases were being made in bulk by various conservative groups. It’s been going on since the 90’s— gigantic bulk buys of ‘conservative’ authors in order to artifically inflate the sales records and get them on the NYT bestseller list. That’s why you’ll see Coulter’s books or Palin’s or whoever’s continually offered on the cheap online— after the giant bulk purchase they’re ‘donated’ to some organisation or other.

It’s just hilarious that Palin’s own PAC was also one of them. Usually wingnuts cover their tracks a little better— for example, some fake thinktank or group would have made the bulk purchase and then donated the books to the PAC or to Palin in some way.

El. Oh. El.
