And in 1 week Colbert's book sold almost double the amount of Coulter's book which has been out for several weeks now.
Is this a sign that political commentary from Coulter is outdated and irrelevant and nobody cares about her anymore?

libsticker: You cannot take what either Colbert or Coulter write seriously, so it is easy to consider them both comedic political pundits. And equating the sales of Coulter's (a pundit's book) to Carter's book (a former President) IS comparing apples to oranges.
Sorry, try again.

Actually, yes. Pleasantly.
The public is smarter and more involved than I'd hoped.
It takes an intelligent person to understand Colbert's brand of humor.

It's not the least bit surprising.
Coulter is just a charicature of the American right - hateful, lying, and afraid. Her tactic of saying more and more and more outrageous and offensive things wears thin after a while. Basically she's saturated the hate market.
Colbert is just full of witty satire, and it's good to see that more people prefer witty satire to hateful satire.
Just got my copy of Colbert's book yesterday, and I'm looking forward to reading it!

I bought Coulter's recent book "If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans". I thought it was hilarious.
Funny, but when I bought it, I had to reach around a few dozen copies of Bill Clinton's recent release "Giving". Since I don't give a hoot about reading what he has to say about charity (what's next, a morals compendium?) I didn't mind a bit. I did find it amusing that he sold only about 50,000 copies of the 700,000 originally printed. Somewhere there is a warehouse groaning with the unfettered (HA!) thoughts of a former US president. The mind reels.
Oddly, I didn't see Colbert's book in the political section when I bought Ann Coulter's book. Might that be because Colbert's book is in the COMEDY section? Thus a comparison between a comedy writer and a political writer is.... well, irrelevant.

Ann Coulter books only sell so people can mock the rediculous things she says. She offers no real opionion or anything to contribute, eventually people loose interest and she'll go away

You gotta admit.. Colbert has a great sense of humor. Coulter's humor is more like sand-paper...

there is enormous money to be made, via peddling concern, hate and trickle down, to the dimwits in this u . s .. Ann Coulter is in simple terms one, in a protracted line of precise-wing charlatans and snake oil salesmen/women human beings.

Coulter is a radical who is an EXPERT at playing the media.
Not surprised, but don't really care either - no offense.

Colbert makes people laugh. And no insult to Ann Coulter fans, but once you've read one of her books, you've kind of read them all.
