Her book, "Scorpions for Breakfast," has seen a monumental increase in sales since the exchange.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is seeking to fill her political action committee's coffers with a new fundraising effort based on her recent high-profile encounter with President Barack Obama on a Phoenix airport tarmac.

"When I met President Obama this week, I really wasn't pointing at him. I was telling him, 'You have ONE more year!' The President needs to be reminded that he is the President of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC and not a KING lording over state governors," Brewer writes in Jan PAC's new ask, beside a now-famous picture of the governor wagging her finger in Obama's face.

Jan PAC was created last year with the goal of supporting conservative, pro-immigration enforcement candidates for federal office.

1. No one could see that coming, huh?

4. these racist and bigoted attacks are almost always followed by riches these days

. . . for the public officials engaging in them. We jump on them fast and hard, but they bring their ilk out from under their rocks when they adopt centuries-old rhetoric and tried-and-true appeals to the lowest denominator. There's a ready industry for pols willing to adopt hateful acts and actions.

Money. Disrespect sells more than anything else here.

8. He should come out and say how much he enjoys working with her, finding common ground, etc

11. “When I talk I am animated and I talk with my hands,” Brewer told Greta Van Susteren

“The picture was probably shot when I was moving my hands around.”

12. Obama called it: "This was really not a big deal."

"What I discovered is, is that I think it's always good publicity for a Republican if they're in an argument with me. But this was really not a big deal," President Obama told ABC News' Diane Sawyer.

13. Sure proved Obama right.

When he told Diane Sawyer that is what she was doing, looking for a money making ad shot.

14. That's very short sighted.

Independents make up about 30% of the electorate. You can't win elections without them. Stunts like that will turn them off. Independents may have issues with the President, but overall, they respect him as a person, and they would expect other to do so.

15. Stunning originality.

18. "When I met President Obama..."

I really wasn't pointing at him I was testing which way the wind was blowing
I was air drying my nail polish
I cut my finger and asked him to kiss my boo boo
I asked him to pull my finger


what's next Jan?

19. She wrote a book ... That explains the lame theatrics at the airport.

I wonder if she used Failin's ghost writers?

20. The GOP always makes money from negativity.

Disrespect, sickness, death, war they are all just money making schemes for right wingers.
