Is that 2 or 3 copies per MSNBC viewer?

The Olbermann Media Empire:
Like other opinion commentators, Mr. Olbermann is a media business beyond his TV job. He recently authored a new book, "Pitchforks and Torches: The Worst of the Worst, from Beck, Bill, and Bush to Palin and Other Posturing Republicans," published Oct. 26 by John Wiley & Sons Inc.

The book has sold 2,000 hardcover copies, according to according to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks approximately 75% of general retail book sales in the U.S. It ranked 1,781 on Amazon.com Inc.'s best-seller list late Friday, but it was No. 2 on the politics list.

Two thousand copies? This guy has nightly free media and he can only sell two thousand copies? Bill O'Reilly sells over a million. Some dead economist got mentioned on Glenn Beck's show months ago and he's still 1643 ranks ahead of Olbermann on Amazon.

Maybe lefties just don't like books.

Hilarious.

How much of a boor do you have to be where even liberals don't like the guy?

Nailed it!
