Amazing how many “crazy” conservatives are on the best sellers list… something must be wrong…

BOOK RACE: MITCH ALBOM TOPS WEEK, SCANS 85,757 FOR ‘FAITH’; BECK ‘ARGUING WITH IDIOTS’ TAKES PLACE WITH 80,252 [201,444 SINCE RELEASE]… KENNEDY ‘TRUE’ IN SHOW AT 39,380 [277,520]; SWAYZE 31,856; MACKENZIE PHILLIPS TOTAL 35,867; MICHELLE MALKIN 172,549 TOTAL… RON PAUL ‘END FED’ 30,916… MARK LEVIN 874,284 TOTAL SCANNED… NYT’S NICHOLAS KRISTOF 18,044… TAYLOR BRANCH ‘CLINTON TAPES’ 6,278… MADELEINE ALBRIGHT ‘PINS’ 4,801…

(front page, Drudge).

Mitch Albom - moderately crazy
Glenn Beck — completely batshit insane
Michelle Malkin — associated with white supremacists like Peter Brimelow (calls him her “dear friend”)
Ron Paul — Ron Paul
Mark Levin — a far right, creationist, shrieking radio talk show maniac

Yep, lots of crazies on that list. The fact that they’re popular is a pretty good testament to the decline into craziness of the US right wing.
