Megadittos, Ty? Surely you can't be getting your material from Limbaugh?

Listened to a talkshow late afternoon yesterday about this subject. They played a clip of Limbaugh telling his listeners that they'd have to look hard to find a copy of the book because liberal booksellers would hide it or display it backwards in places like the cooking section and the fiction section. He also said it might be hard to find for legitimate reasons, however, because it's #1 on Amazon and #3 on the NYT Best Seller List.

A friend of mine works at a Borders here in Houston:

• I was working at BookStore last night, as I am wont to do on Tuesdays, and as I was straightening books on the front table, I noticed some books out of place. You see, we have these rules about the height of book stacks, highest stacks to the left and on down to the right (not a political statement, so keep your panties on, crazy right-wingnuts). Therefore, it is easy to see when something is out of place. So I decide to perform my function as a bookstore worker and fix the little mess. Then I noticed that all of the books that were out of place were either pro-Bush/Rep books or Kerry-slamming tomes. Imagine my surprise when I picked up these lovely pieces of fair and balanced writing to find pro-Kerry and anti-Bush books underneath! Some not-at-all-crazy right wing fanatic had gone to the trouble of covering books he/she disagreed with. Not only that, he/she even found the need to bring books from the politics and government section, all the way at the back of the store, up to the front for this little protest.

Later in the post, she said that she's been accused of being part of the liberal conspiracy when she's told customers that their shipment of "Unfit for Command" hadn't come in yet, but they'd be happy to call and let the customer know as soon as it got there.
