Video: Guess who’s number one on the New York Times bestseller list

She told me a few hours ago but it wasn’t made public until Hannity did it here. What an achievement. Thanks so much to everyone who bought a copy.
In the vast gray cloud that is Hopenchange, there’s only one tiny silver lining. But … it’s pretty silvery.

Way to go MM!!
cmsinaz on August 5, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I bought 10 copies and gave them to my family. A couple of the Scumbama lovers may not be thrilled. Who cares.
Offshore_Drilling on August 5, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Saw the interview………
…….. +7%!!!
Seven Percent Solution on August 5, 2009 at 9:42 PM
WOW! That was fast! That went even faster than Levin’s book – I think people are getting madder by the minute!
Queen0fCups on August 5, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Woot! That’s awesome!
BadgerHawk on August 5, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Congrats to Michelle! A terrific book by a great reporter and conservative. Bravo!
jencab on August 5, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Congratulations!
p40tiger on August 5, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Congratulations. And I haven’t even bought my 10 copies yet…!!
LASue on August 5, 2009 at 9:43 PM
By the way……….
……. perfect timing for the book!
Seven Percent Solution on August 5, 2009 at 9:43 PM
This is pretty sweet too. Still at # 3.
Photoshop THAT on a bikini, haters!
inviolet on August 5, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Excellent. I guess I need to order a copy now, huh?
great interview MM.
ted c on August 5, 2009 at 9:44 PM
A vast rightwing conspiracy, no doubt.
Now, will the pinheads at the NYT even review it?
Congratulations to Michelle.
JammieWearingFool on August 5, 2009 at 9:45 PM
FIFY!
Congrats MM!
misslizzi on August 5, 2009 at 9:45 PM
I saw MM on Hannity. Hannity said there was 3 conservative bestsellers but, whether the 3rd was Beck or Morris, Hannity twice refused to name the 3rd, even though he named Levin’s. Does Hannity have something against Beck?
casel21 on August 5, 2009 at 9:45 PM
that silver lining is very pretty indeed
:-)
cmsinaz on August 5, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Congratulations, MM. Good job.
OmahaConservative on August 5, 2009 at 9:46 PM
It’s a very good read. I’m buying 3 more copies to give as early Christmas gifts!
Congratulations Michelle, you’ve earned that top slot!
Zorro on August 5, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Come on now, we all know mobsters can’t read. The VRWC must have gotten to the NYT somehow. This will be corrected tomorrow!
DerKrieger on August 5, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Congratulations, Michelle! You’ve definitely earned it.
kingsjester on August 5, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Hannity and Levin are best buddies. Levin hates Beck. Ergo…
DerKrieger on August 5, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Yay!!!
It’s a GREAT book; well written!
Also, congrats on the site meter jump for HA!!
YAY!!
*for she’s a jolly good fellow, for she’s a jolly GOOD fellow…* :)
TN Mom on August 5, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Great Job!
nazo311 on August 5, 2009 at 9:49 PM
She has a lot of courage and is never afraid to stand up for what’s right…good to see her getting credit she deserves!
scalleywag on August 5, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I BOUGHT A COPY. Pre-ordered it and got it yesterday. I am one of those Plain cultists so my opinion is for sh&t here anyway.
Michelle Malkin rocks and so does Sarah Palin. But I wouldn’t want Michelle Malkin to have a cult-like following so I musn’t praise her too strongly. Heaven forbid. Some people might get their panties all in a wad if I were to say MM is awesome and stuff and so is SP awesome and stuff. Looks like the female conservatrives got all the guts and all the brains.
Geochelone on August 5, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Let the light shine in.
Kudos MM
HoustonRight on August 5, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Congrats to you MM.
Let’s keep buying up her books and keep her atop of the list with our other fine authors.
God Bless all
hawkman on August 5, 2009 at 9:50 PM
“Classic projection from true mobsters.”
Paging the snitch goons in Linda DouglASSes office.
GO MM!!!
Western_Civ on August 5, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Congratulations Boss
F15Mech on August 5, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Congrats!
becki51758 on August 5, 2009 at 9:51 PM
He mentioned Morris as 3rd on his radio show.
ladyingray on August 5, 2009 at 9:52 PM
“this (DNC Ad) is the mother of all smear campaigns” says Malkin.
You GO girl! Call ‘em out!
TN Mom on August 5, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Thanks..Joyless Behar!
malkinmania on August 5, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Congrats, Michelle. You earned it!
Esthier on August 5, 2009 at 9:52 PM
And also a great interview — best one I’ve seen by MM.
Any chance other HT folks might join me at the Waxman town hall on Friday (at the incredibly inconvenient time of 10:00 a.m.) in Westwood?
LASue on August 5, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I had no idea so many people were reading my thoughtful, mesmerizing posts on here each month! Hello, people!
Totally on topic: THANK YOU, MRS. MALKIN FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU’VE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO.
Same for Allahpundit and Ed.
SouthernGent on August 5, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Sitemeter near pre-election traffic. HotAir rocking.
Cindy Munford on August 5, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Awesome news. Never doubted it would happen though. She get’s so much flack from the left because she’s on the bleeding edge…she’s way out front now leading the charge. One case where I’m happy to follow. Congrats MM and HA!
AUINSC on August 5, 2009 at 9:53 PM
That is sweet. Thanks AP and Ed as well.
F15Mech on August 5, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Indeed, there’s a very petty thing going on between Hannity, Beck, and Levin. Hannity refuses to acknowledge Beck and vice versa. Levin is not a media star like the other two, but he’s smarter than the two of them combined and should know better than to keep obtusely referring to Beck as stealing his material. Same with Michael Savage. They all ignore him, but they all have the same core conservative beliefs. I guess it’s just competitive back biting. It diminishes all of them, but as long as they keep sticking it to Chairman Maobama, it’s tolerable.
Western_Civ on August 5, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I’m thinking a few libs at the NYT had to be hospitalized after having to print MM’s book as #1.
Bishop on August 5, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I haven’t read the book yet. I’ll get it from the local library. However, I do like Malkin’s new extensions she’s rocking.
dcwvu on August 5, 2009 at 9:57 PM
These books are being burned by the Fish Patrol.
faraway on August 5, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Hey buddy! God bless you and your company. Many thanks and prayers are ascending for you and yours.
OmahaConservative on August 5, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Nice.
Dash on August 5, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Congrats MM.
Hog Wild on August 5, 2009 at 10:01 PM
And she dresses well too.
Uh-Oh.
Congrats MM.
fogw on August 5, 2009 at 10:02 PM
I want an autographed copy. :)
johnnyU on August 5, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Is that all you have racist?
thomasaur on August 5, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Ha! The cowardly AR Congressman she mentioned is my former Rep., Vic Snyder (D-AR). Snyder is originally from Oregon BTW which explains his Pelosiesque voting record.
DerKrieger on August 5, 2009 at 10:02 PM
I have been wondering the same thing. Whenever I’ve heard Hannity talk about other authors and radio personalities I never hear him mention Beck.
Mark1971 on August 5, 2009 at 10:02 PM
So happy to see this. Way to go, Michelle.
mikeyboss on August 5, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Congrats Michelle,:thumbsup:
my copy from amazon came today :)
trailortrash on August 5, 2009 at 10:03 PM
And what about her makes you think they’re fake? Seriously, I want to see how much rope it’ll take for you to hang yourself.
Esthier on August 5, 2009 at 10:04 PM
DerKrieger on August 5, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Great book, great interview. I think Michelle speaks for us “we the people” – she should have Pelosi’s spot.
njpat on August 5, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Congrulations to Michelle! A great accomplishment. Conservatives have been dominating the bestsellers list lately.
therightwinger on August 5, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Awesome — congrats Michelle! Great work!
NoLeftTurn on August 5, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Hannity follows Levin…Levin don’t like Beck…therefore…Hannity don’t like beck either. I think this is the only thing I have against Hannity. He’s a good buy; but he’s a follower. There is no reason why he should not have Beck on his “Great American Panel”. I think this conservative radio back and forth cat fights needs to stop.
tdavisjr on August 5, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Congratulations Michelle!
And congrats too, to Allah and Ed.
Allah, you know it’s the Birther threads that gave you that traffic. You magnificent bastard.
MadisonConservative on August 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Racist?! Haha. How is that racist? Jesse Jackson, is that you!?
dcwvu on August 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Is she gonna do a pop-up-picture edition for the Dems and moderates?
And when does the book get onto Oprah’s Book Club?
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
This is why libtrash books never see number one on any list. Ya’all are too parsimonious to buy a book.
OmahaConservative on August 5, 2009 at 10:10 PM
You mean it’s out-selling Henry Waxman’s blockbuster?
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
The personal attacks against her will be renewed with a fervor like never before.
The ‘rat machine is coming apart at the seams and they will start to get desperate; desperate people act stupidly and they are already pretty stupid to begin with.
Full-fledged confrontations coming soon to a town hall near you; the libs aren’t about to let “other” people have a say without trying to shut them up.
Bishop on August 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
While that comment wasn’t racist you are. You’ve shown your stripes before.
thomasaur on August 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Nope. Just trying to be green, or something. Congrats Michelle.
dcwvu on August 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I’d bet 5 to 1 dcwvu is on the local library’s watch list of lurkers in the children’s section.
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
“Culture of Corruption” number one on the day “Dollar Bill” Jefferson is found guilty. Could not be a better alignnment of the planets and stars.
PERFECT!!!!
Paging Pelosi… Paging Pelosi… clean up on the left side of the aisle.
Yoop on August 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Well well Ms M, that has to be a very sweet feather in your cap, congratulations.
doriangrey on August 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Really? Straight to pedophilia? We all now know what is on the forefront of your mind. Is guntotinglibertarian = Mark Foley. Conspiracy!!
dcwvu on August 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Meanwhile, the Gulfstream 550 is number one on Amazon’s list of “people who bought Irish country estates also bought this…”
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Still waiting for my book to be delivered. B & N said demand is high! Congrats Michelle!
alwaysright43 on August 5, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Gothcer NAMBLA dues paid up? Or are you waiting for Ogabe to pay them for ya?
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Michelle,
Congratulations! There is no one more deserving of success.
Thank you again on behalf of myself and my family not only for the book but for advocating The Constitution, Liberty, and Decency. Because you are out in front you endure considerable flak and hate on our behalf. Just remember you are not alone. There are millions who fight with you.
Best Wishes and Godspeed to you and your family.
DeathB4Tyranny on August 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Way to go, MM. You’re there because you’ve earned it. And this site has earned it’s visits. Here’s to Malkin, Morrissey, and Pundit!
Weight of Glory on August 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
It took you 5 minutes to come up with that zinger? Dude. Score.
dcwvu on August 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
I’m afraid to read it. I am already SOOOO mad at what the ‘Empty Suit’ is doing to our country and how he lies so easily to do it that if I read stuff I don’t already know my head will explode…
Any advise??
Ltlgeneral64 on August 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Malkin rules! I’m sure Geraldo is as thrilled as Joy Behar to hear the good news.
Laura in Maryland on August 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
I thought there was a much more obvious reason (the hard part about reading and thinking, instead of just ‘feeling’…?)
LASue on August 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Sorry,
Any Advice???
Ltlgeneral64 on August 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Booooooo!
Cindy Munford on August 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Just finished the book…brilliant!
‘grats to MM…
and ‘grats to Allah, Ed, the Green Room contributors, and commenters who made HA a hot site as well.
*cheers*
JetBoy on August 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Learn to laugh. It will make you feel better and make them madder.
Cindy Munford on August 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
And then there’s the pathetic morons like this…
JetBoy on August 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Congratulations, Michelle, on your best seller. You deserve this. You represent conservatives so very well. Articulate. Knowledgeable. Beautiful and charming.
Congratulations, Ed & AP. Thank you for producing so many great threads to read.
Loxodonta on August 5, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Couldn’t have happened to a better lady, or a better defender of the Constitution and our inherent Rights.
100 weeks!
Kudos Michelle M. !
profitsbeard on August 5, 2009 at 10:21 PM
There’s something fishy about this.I think it should be reported to the White House.
ppaint on August 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Really, if her book wasn’t number 1 wouldn’t the terrorists have won?
Aquateen Hungerforce on August 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
FLAGGED!!!!
poppieseeds on August 5, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Congratulations Michelle!
You might want to have an open enrollment pretty soon for some of the people that may have bought your book before discovering your blog.
FloatingRock on August 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
I’m waiting for the MSM and the Lefty blogs to pick up on Michelle’s expose’s, just like they picked up on the Vanity Fair hitpiece on Palin.
Waiting…
Waiting…
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
sweet. congrats michelle. well deserved. one of the greatest conservative voices of recent American history.
sbvft contributor on August 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Does this mean she might outsell Valerie Plame’s book? Or Nancy Pelosi’s? Man, those just flew off the shelves.
guntotinglibertarian on August 5, 2009 at 10:26 PM
I don’t read anything else regularly other than MM & HA. Thanks for everything you guys do. You rock. Hugs.
mimi1220 on August 5, 2009 at 10:26 PM
After suffering through her anti-GOP diatribes through the last election Ill wait for the movie. She helped bring about this mess… I’m not giving her a nickel for writing about it.
Boxy_Brown on August 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Not bad for an oriental.
WordsMatter on August 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
I read somewhere that Pelosi’s book sold only 6,000 copies. Her very rich husband probably bought 5,999 of them.
Congrats Michelle, keeping the left in line!
sherry on August 5, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Congrats Michelle! I hope this is the first of many best sellers for you and you get very, very rich!
O’reilly, Coulter,Beck, Hannity, Levin, Limbaugh, even Dick Morris….all very successful authors (and commedians) selling millions and millions of books based upon the same premise and using the same formula: Right is good, left is bad.(sshh, don’t tell anyone)
Yet, none seem willing to run for public office and lead their minions to, perhaps, a better place.
Next up,
governorSarah Palin. Who is her ghostwriter again?Anyway, sincere congrats Michelle!
greataunty on August 5, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Cindy Munford on August 5, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Is that more than Henry Waxman’s book?
You know the really sick part? Book publishers shell out million-dollar advances to pols like Pelosi and Waxman, knowing full well that they’ll sell bupkiss. Of course, all the major publishers are now subsidiaries of huge corporations, so they consider a few million to be chump change when it comes time to call in some favors.
