The left scores!
I guess this proves that ordinary people are a lot smarter than the "leadership" of the Democratic Party. This guy has promoted a book which is a best seller before the publication date, and did it without me! The San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Several bloggers have cranked out books, but a first-time San Francisco publisher, with assistance from liberal bloggers, helped push one from obscurity to the No. 1 spot on Amazon's best-seller charts in a day -- even before advance copies were printed.
Written by lawyer-turned-blogger Glenn Greenwald, the rise of "How Would a Patriot Act: Defending America from a President Run Amok" is a San Francisco-forged tale of new media leading the old, in which a video created to accompany the book was out before the bound copies, and the video's circulation turned out to be more valuable than kudos from book critics.
