It Is David Plouffe’s Turn For A Literary Feud With Sarah Palin, Apparently

by Juli Weiner  


David Plouffe has challenged Sarah Palin to the most important political contest imaginable, it is for the Presidency of the New York Times Best Seller List of America! David Plouffe wants to see if he can do another one of his famous David Plouffe grassroots things and convince more people to buy his book, The Audacity to Win, than Sarah Palin’s book. Except, for whatever reason, the contest only counts on December 8th, which is to total meaninglessness what November 4th is to politics. Do stick around for when those contrarian humorists at the Nation inevitably publish the devastating anti-David Plouffe polemic, The Audacity—But Like in the Pejorative Sense!—to Win. [Ben Smith]

Welcome to Rock Bottom, Dave.

I assume the cover to his book is black.

The Audacity to Pick a Fight with a Crazy Woman Who Has Lots of Idiot Minions Who Will Buy Her Damn Book Twice Just to Make Some Liberal Lose at a Book Selling Contest.

“Plouffe” … is that French for “please buy my book and stuff it in a stocking?

it’s irrelevant

I, for one, just read whatever they put in front of me. Also.

[re=473288]bokonon[/re]: *Plouffe* (or *plouf*) is actually the sound French people or things make when they hit the water, a fitting image here.
On this same topic, why is it that Politico’s commenters are the world’s worst spellers?

Good to see my boyfriend again. Wonder if he can give some of my Barry donations back now?

Did this guy have an affair with Tiger Woods? Does he describe their sexy times together?

The Audacity to Rouge?

Literary and Palin in the same sentence? Freakin’ oy.

Dave would be a good warblogger: “Hey everyone, lets go over to (x website) and vote wrong on their stupid poll and blow their minds!”

Only, heh, with this he makes a pile of money, too. I should have seen this coming when he was talking smack about Palin’s bool in The New Yorker article about him.

Bought the book for my father for his birthday. Took 2 days to read it myself ahead of time. Dad didn’t mind- he knows what kind of person he raised. Very interesting stuff and will not sell close to Palin. Not enough juicy details. Too much Axlerod and Iowa. If only he described the tryst between himself, Ax, a few volunteers, a milking machine, and some goats…? That’s the stuff that sells. Not the “we changed the world”…”suck on this Hillary… John McCain…”

Go read it at the library like a true socialist. Also.

I like David Plouffe, and I appreciate what he did for us. But damn, that video of him was boring. I feel like I added several unpleasant days to my life just by watching it. If he makes enough videos like that, I bet I could live forever. Unpleasantly, but still.

[re=473288]bokonon[/re]: “Plouffe” is actually a French onomatopoeia for “queef”.
