Scraping Bottom

Another flurry of Tweets this morning from the Fontange Fuhrer... standard stuff:

• Jon Ossoff is "super liberal"
• Obama sucks, Fox and Friends rules;
• Drudge says Rasmussen says people like me.

But here's a fun one:

A great book for your reading enjoyment: "REASONS TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS" by Michael J. Knowles.

Steve M. tackled this weeks ago:

Members of the Party of Ideas are embracing a new work of scholarship:

‘Reasons to Vote for Democrats’ jumps to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list. But its pages are blank.

As of early Friday morning, a new political book remained perched at the top of Amazon’s bestseller list: “Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide,” by Daily Wire managing editor Michael J. Knowles....

A peek inside finds a quote from Thucydides, and a table of contents with such lofty chapters as “Foreign Policy,” “Civil Rights” and “Homeland Security.”

What follows next are roughly 260 blank pages, save for the book’s title printed atop each. The list price is $9.99....

Although it might be a novelty item, the book seems to be flying off the shelves.

Yes, it is -- it's #1 on the Amazon bestseller list, far ahead of new books by Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and even Bill O'Reilly.

Back then, someone replied to Steve's post with a prophetic Tweet:

@nomoremister this is real? how dumb. At least Trump can probably get through it in a weekend.

So, it took a month for Trump to clear a weekend to read 260 blank pages. And now he's showing off!
