Well, the gutter-dweller almost pulled it off: I just got the new New York Times bestseller list (it'll be posted at the Times site on Sunday night), and Edward Klein's The Truth About Hillary is #2, in its first week on the list..

It didn't make #1, and the big mistake, I think, was publishing it after Father's Day -- I think their are a lot of Limbaughnista blowhard dads whose testosterone levels would have been raised to a satisfyingly high peak if they could've savored the hate in this book on 6/19 (or at least the hints of lesbianism).

The #1 nonfiction hardcover is still 1776 by David McCullough -- which is kind of a win for the Right, given that he seems to be a Heritage Society favorite.
