What sheep those people are! Can you believe they're actually buying the book by that sleazebag? Do they actually miss the 1990s? Didn't the adultery and the lying and the hypocrisy sicken them? Don't they realize that by buying the book they might be helping that sleazebag mount a political comeback? After all, we're talking about someone who desperately craves power....

I'm referring, of course, to the sheep who are buying Gettysburg, the new novel cowritten by Newt Gingrich. Bafflingly, it's on the new New York Times fiction bestseller list (the one that will appear on the Times Web site next Monday and in the paper the following Sunday), at #12.

Oh, and, needless to say, Hillary Clinton's Living History is the #1 book on the nonfiction list.

UPDATE: I see that Drudge has this "flash: HILLARY 'LIVING HISTORY' DEBUTS AT #1 NYT JUNE 29 LIST, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE; BLUMENTHAL'S 'CLINTON WARS' FALLS OFF LIST AFTER 3 WEEKS. He's right -- but the main list goes to 15 positions, and The Clinton Wars is right at the top of the "extended" list, at #16. This list covers sales through the end of last week; it's not clear what will happen when all the sports books do a post–Father's Day plummet on the next list.
