Message of the Market

Rick Santorum called in to "Imus in the Morning" yesterday. Imus mentioned that many copies of Rick's book were still on the shelves in book stores, and Rick defended his book's sales by saying that it was on the New York Times Best Sellers List for two weeks (video below). That got us to thinking...

Rick titled his book, It Takes a Family, as a dig at Hillary Clinton's, It Takes a Village. So how do the two books compare in terms of time spent on the NY Times Best Sellers List? Funny you should ask. Clinton's book was on the list for 20 weeks, and was #1 for three of them. Santorum's book was on the list for two weeks, and topped out at #13.

We know that Rick says he believes in the power of the free market. Hey Rick, the market is telling you something. Can you figure out what it's saying?

Oh, and during the clip Rick also claims, "I'm the man." Um, okay.

Here's the Imus video:

Imus gave Rick an endorsement:

De Facto Endorsement: Imus Says Santorum Should Be Re-Elected

When Rick Santorum went on Don Imus' morning show on MSNBC this week, he received an unlikely de facto endorsement. Imus, who is known for disliking Republicans, particularly incumbent politicians, said: "I like Senator Santorum and I think you ought to be re-elected."

Imus' co-hosts, Charles and Bernie, backed up Sen. Santorum as well, with Charles saying the Imus team should all "hang" with the Senator. Bernie questioned Bob Casey, Jr., the likely Democrat opponent in the race, "I think we ought to stick with our guy [Santorum]. Just because he's [Casey] the governor's son, he's going to be a senator? That's nepotism." (MSNBC's "Imus in the Morning," 9/28/05)

Yes. However, Imus also said, as he does whenever he has Rick on, that he agrees with him on almost no issues and thinks that most of Rick's policy stances are absurd.

A ringing endorsement, indeed.

Imus, in his winter hours as a radio personality and talk show host is at heart a populist. He'll stroke whomever his guest is, even if he hates them because it makes things that much easier for him.

As a 21-year radio vet, Imus was one of the guys that inspired me...now, I see him as a lazy old man just playing out the string. Hate to say that, but how true it is.

Santorum did himself no favors by calling into the show. If he thought he was gonna make some brownie points, he failed.

Rick Santorum does himself no favors any time he opens his mouth. I have heard so much crap fall from his lips, that I truly believe that "santorum" (the frothy mix of lube and feces that is sometimes the result of anal sex) is a very fitting name!

and another big thank you for Dan Savage who helped to coin one of the hottest new double entendres ever! www.spreadingsantorum.com

That was perhaps the most pathetic call-in ive seen on Imus. He just kinda weakly defended himself. If I had just heard that, I wouldnt have bought the book (and I still would never buy it, but that wouldnt have helped).
