Proof Glenn Greenwald hates Obama

[Demit]

88. I was quite clear. I said that you are talking out of your ass.

Authors on the best seller list make money. Authors with a contract to write a book a year, *because* their books are best sellers, make money. I don't know where the idea came from that having a book, any book, published means fame & fortune, but it is a layperson's fantasy.

I'm not the one claiming to know how well Greenwald's books have sold, you are. So tell me, what were the sales on his last book? His first book was given away by Salon if you signed up with Salon Premium. At what point did he become this publishing phenom that got everyone talking & lining up to buy his books? Has his recent "national attention" made a huge spike in his overall book sales? Is everybody in your town talking about them? Are they flying out the door?

Greenwald is a nonfiction, niche author writing about a subset of politics. He isn't Bob Woodward or some former government bigwig, and no publisher is going to give a big advance to somebody who isn't.

Really, treestar, I'm serious. Arm yourself with a little knowledge before you expound on a topic with such certainty.
