O'Reilly's Book Hits #1 on NY Times List
A Breaking News Report from NewsMax.com
Cable news talker Bill O'Reilly's latest book, "Who's Looking Out for You?" is on top of the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list -- hitting the #1 spot during the prime Christmas book buying season.
O'Reilly's book has leapt ahead of screeds by left-wing bomb-throwers Al Franken and Michael Moore.
The Fox News host's return to the top of the heap comes as "Living History," the Hillary Clinton memoir that O'Reilly has vowed to outsell, is nowhere to be found on the printed Times list.
Mrs. Clinton's book, which was expected to be a big holiday seller, has even disappeared from the extended list of the nation's 35 top selling books that the Times posts online.
Check out these great books that make the perfect Christmas gift:
Bill O'Reilly's "Who's Looking Out for You?"
Bernard Goldberg's "Arrogance"
Zell Miller's "A National Party No More"
The coffee table book "The Greatest Speeches of Ronald Reagan"
Carl Limbacher's "Hillary's Scheme"
James Hirsen's "Tales from the Left Coast"
Rich Lowry's "Legacy"
All of these books available at local book stores or at newsmax.com

Posted by: HOODLUMinc at December 23, 2003 10:38 AMOh, by the way. Bills book is not the Top Seller according to the NY Times. Its the top of the HARDCOVER NONFICTION category.

Top 5 at a Glance

3. LIES (AND THE LYING LIARS WHO TELL THEM), by Al Franken
4. DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY? by Michael Moore

-------------------------
before you go and call someone a liar, learn how they actually list bestsellers. they are ALL listed by category. so, as you can see...his book IS number 1. and gosh, you can see frankens book is #3. like i said, before attacking, learn how to read.
the usa today article is a ratings list based on someones opinion.
as you can see...even dec 21, 2003- oreillys book was higher than frankens.
http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/top-50.htm
plus, as you can see from the numbers...it was listed higher the week before as well.
--------------------------------
this week 5 last week 9
Who’s Looking Out for You? (H)
Bill O’Reilly
this week 15 last week 17 Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
--------------------------------
and since youre not very adept at reading book lists- if you go back further then these weeks, youll see oreillys book is higher- as can be told by the big diff between the list rankings of his book and frankens.

It's still not the top.
Posted by: HOODLUMinc at December 23, 2003 07:02 PMthat's not the weekly list. it's the yearly list, i believe. can you not read? you posted the ny times list itself...which lists it at number 1 on hardcover nonfiction...which is numnber 1, since all the books are categorized. just admit that you hate the man and refuse to accept his book is #1 this week.

Wow, there's no hiding anything from you is there :p
Posted by: HOODLUMinc at December 23, 2003 08:23 PMwell, josh, I imagine, or hope, someone of your expertise realizes the dissapointment that arises from the fact that a poorly written, poorly presented, one-hundred page book tops books that are likely written by smarter, more honest, better authors.
