Jim Acosta can't sell his book

Hold my coffee while I laugh.

Monica Showalter frames it differently on American Thinker, but that's the gist of it.

The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America is ranked 295 on Amazon, over 100 points lower than when Showalter wrote her article.

Incidentally, I discovered how you find out a book's Amazon ranking. It's in the product details portion of its Amazon page. It continues #4 in Elections, #2 in Journalist Biographies #3 in Media and Internet in Politics (Books).

The sleuthing was done by Daily Caller and Fox News. Apparently, on the word of a bookstore employee, Acosta realized his books weren't moving fast as he thought they should so he called the bookstores and told them he intended to show up. Then he showed up and signed books. Because there was no planning there never was a crowd of people to see him, no customer ever waiting in line. He would sign about thirty books while he was there.

He's such a joke, yet making craploads of money, and thus laughing all the way to the bank.
