Only five people showed up to Christine O’Donnell’s book signing in Florida.
Poor Christine O’Donnell can’t catch a break. First she loses her senate campaign and now her new book appears to be bombing.
Thinking that she is important and influential, the Tea Party darling recently published her memoir, “Troublemaker: Let’s Do What It Takes to Make America Great Again.”
It’s that book that brought her to Piers Morgan’s CNN show, where the failed senatorial candidate walked off after being asked about her views on masturbation and gay marriage.
While O’Donnell may have thought her book would suddenly make her relevant again, it turns out not many people care: Florida’s News Press reports that only five people showed up to O’Donnell’s book signing in Naples last week; and one of the attendees only wanted her to sign a book on demonology. O’Donnell refused.
O’Donnell’s experience should be a lesson to other would-be politicos: being a political loser with a brief amount of fame does not translate into book sales, only dead trees.

ROFL… “… and one of the attendees only wanted her to sign a book on demonology.” That is just hilarious! Did she storm out of her book signing when asked?

In the months ahead, we can expect to see the TP movement become more angry, more volatile, and even more dangerous as it desperately seeks to remain relevant, and it all started with the madness that was O’Donnell’s candidacy. But as the recent polling has shown, it is far, far too late for the Tea Party Movement to save itself or the hateful doctrine it embraces. It was always a movement founded on lies, disinformation and fear and such a movement cannot, and will not survive in the greatest country in the world. http://wp.me/pNmlT-JV

The Tea Party’s main problem is poor leadership. They all jumped on the “criticize and finger-point” bandwagon pulled by the head rabble-rouser, Sarah Palin. Now they’re a bunch of do-nothing, one-liner/buzzword spouting whiners, but they started with a good idea. Too bad someone didn’t pool brains and come up with actual ideas and details to fix problems. They make no sense… “more power to the states and smaller federal government” – who’s going to pay for the states to have more power? (hint: the states’ citizens). The result would be higher state taxes/fees and maybe lower fed taxes (good luck with THAT…), but money to run governments has to come from somewhere. I suppose that’s why there are no TP governors – they know better.
See where states rank in federal handouts (fed funds received vs. fed taxes paid) – it’s from 2005 (latest data I’ve found), but it shows the problem:

Hopefully this will be the end of O’Donnell. I kind of feel sorry for her, but she earned it. Some people (mostly Bagger women) don’t know when to quit. It’s cruel for supporters to build them up because they fall so hard. Palin’s gonna be a major splat, but at least she should have enough money to live on – I don’t think O’Donnell could keep a job as a dishwasher (no offense to hard-working dishwashers).

Christine O’Donnell’s “Troublemaker” is an excellent read in hardcover, and the DVD is pleasant to hear while doing morning exercises or driving to work. Well worth the purchase price.
